That boardroom photo last night from another angle...

Last sentence was below belt. Moyes was a catch in his salad days!

Last night's back five was Lumley, Wood, Stephens, Walker-Peters, Manning. Three of those were signed by Martin (two are his former players - if not good enough why sign / play them?), the lynchpin is Stephens his shoehorned captain and adopted son, Bree is a neat player, a tryer, but limited, and KWP, an England full back two years ago who he continually plays out of position. Arguably his best defence when all fit are Ramsdale, Sugawara, Bednarek, THB, ABK, and KWP - so three full England internationals, a Poland international with 65 full caps and full Germany and Japan internationals. Martin himself is a former international defender. If he can't organise a defence with those players and that basis, then he is a fucking idiot.

As is his manicured beardy chin lately...

Would take almost anyone to escape this turgid death by a thousand cuts. Truly awful last night regardless of the quality gap of the opposition, Martin completely out-thought by the man who turned us down to gift him the job. Board need to give the fans some fucking hope for next season.

Looks like Dragan's got a stripper in to cheer them up, that or Rasmus and his fucking positivity balloon animals again!

Complete flake!

Thanks Dman. At last people will be able to post on a thread where there is unity and consensus rather than conflict!

The beard has been growing half an inch a month since September. Lucy in a burka next

Fuck me CBF you're wasted on here, when does de gang of three, become four...

By the look of it Chat BJ-T

Could feasibly have been one of about four on here, pom poms a go go...

I think you're spot on with the last sentence, very soon people will be singing songs about Russell Martin and Sport Republic's footballing heritage. Perhaps full-time at the Brighton game.

My vote is option A. Shit or bust! Anything else is just window dressing.

That's quite insulting. Steve Wigley is essentially Pep Clough when compared to Rusty - on merit!

If it is a disguise it's a Groucho glasses 'tache combo from a Christmas cracker.

That was on the subliminal bingo card as I was typing that!

We are at the ‘blaming the players’ point in the panto. The audience’s fault next.

Problem is that he's in an unusual hierarchy where all he has to do is to fool three people and the sycophants that surround them most of the time, particularly Solak who essentially owns the means of production - bank and executioner here. The PR fluffers on this site give an indication of the thinking of those keeping Martin in role despite what is obvious to the majority. If you look back over recent posts, having blamed the need for the side to be able to 'find it's feet' they are currently blaming the players for not being 'good enough' despite us appearing to have the foundation of a very competitive young side. This will likely move over the next few games to blaming the 'idiot fans' for getting on the players backs, despite having previously stated that they weren't good enough. It's essentially Mad Nate II deja vu. When the board finally get around to removing the actual cause, we will have forfeited our top flight status and lost the foundation of a promising team, they'll say sorry and that they won't make the same mistake again, and off we go...

Agree totally. Fucking crackers!

The only time I can see this Board getting their collective heads out of their arses is when matchdays become fully toxic a la mad Nate, a situation that provides a fucking awful experience for the long-suffering fanbase. Could feel the simmering yesterday but mitigated somewhat as 'it was Liverpool.' Eventually Sport Republic will act, but reluctantly after blaming the long-suffering fanbase, just like they did with Jones. Managing to cut their nose off to spite their face, incapable of learning from mistakes. We then lose our Premier league status with a whimper followed by some really exciting young players out the door. Clown show.
