Lee On Solent Saint

This should be his last game in charge, no matter what the score is. Of course it won't be, but the penny has to drop with SR sooner or later.

Is courage knocking it back and forth two centre backs, then knocking it back and forth to two full backs? Honour? They are footballers not fuckin medieval knights jousting for a fair maiden. The only twats that have a belief in this system are Russell Martin and SR. I'm not sure who is pulling the strings behind the scenes anymore, or even if anybody is, but the quicker they realise that this shitshow is going to suck up any goodwill that SR garnered over the last year the better.

Honestly? How can you watch a football club you profess to love so much turn into a joke? I cannot get enthaustic for match days any longer. The enjoyment I have had over the past 40 odd years of watching my team is being slowly eroded away with each passing game that Martin presides over. He needs to go, not just to give us a tiny modicum of hope that we can at least try and stay up, but for the thousands of fans we are going to lose, be it fans now, or the next generation. Russell Martin is doing this forr one person, and one person only. Himself.

With Martin still in charge though?

If Martin is still in charge at the beginning of next season after a pathetic relegation, you can bet that St Mary's will be less than half empty.

Am nearly 51 years old. Old folks like me don't understand those things!

If all else fails go for personal digs.

Am just making the point that having a penalty isn't a guaranteed goal.

Pretty confident we would have scored the penalty then? Out of interest, who on the pitch would you have wanted to have taken it?

Cameron Archer?

Well yeah, but surely if you add the weight of the feelings of the fans and the manner of the relegation. then to my mind Martin's job would become untenable. He was lucky the ref was so shite on Saturday, as I think that deflected a whole lot of shite going his way.

Ok. So we go down under Martin because SR think he's fuckin God or something. Back in the Championship, are they that stupid to think the fan base are still going to want Martin to be here? If results are still the same in say December or January, St Mary's is going to be empty save for all the Martin fanboys. Season ticket sells will be absolutely shite.

Talking to a Palace fan during their game with Forest last night at Gatwick, he reckons they're going down. For some bizarre reason he thinks we are going to be ok as we score goals!

If that happens, St Mary's will be half empty match days. Never mind Manchester City, we will be like Stoke City.

Why is it logical to wait? You have two games we should be looking at to pick up points, like Leicester. A change needs to be made.

I meant to City it could be, not us.

Goal difference could be crucial come the end of the season. This has the potential to be messy.

On here for sure, not sure about the fans as a whole. Where I was sat on Saturday there wasn't too much hate directed at Martin. I think he was fortunate that the ref was so shite, it deflected the crowd reaction away from him.

Pantomime

He cannot and should not be in charge for that game.

If he is still here after relegating us, SR are even bigger twats than I had them down for. The guy is splitting the fan base. By the end of the season, St Marys will be full of away fans only.

Fuckin statistics again. Football is played on a green pitch, not a spreadsheet. The best way to defend is to ensure that you don't leave anybody free, every player should be marking another. None of this zonal bolliocks. Leave a player between the halfway line and penalty box, someone with a bit of speed who can run onto any clearences, give the opposition something to think about. Don't care if its not fashionable, its effective.

Don't forger getting behind projects etc too.

It wasn't just happening for the goalscoring corner

No really different to taking off your best player and replacing him with Smallbone.
