Lee On Solent Saint

These exiciting players won't be here next season if we get relegated. Or do you think they are going to stay in the Championship because of Martin?

But fouls for shirt pulls are given on every other area of the pitch. Wasn't Dibling booked today for tugging back one of their's?

Why was Smallbone the right player to bring on? He can't run or tackle. Absolute waste.

I don't. He managed best part of 60 minutes without committing another foul. Showed a lot of maturity.

Fuck's sake, the whole team were shit at Bournemouth, if you based that concept we wouldn't have fielded a team today.

Do you not think the tide turning was a direct result of taking Fernades off and bringing on Smallbone?

The ref was shite, but he wasn't on the fix. Just incompetent.

I don't think I've disliked a Saints manager as much as Martin. Even Branfoot wasn't as bad as this twat.

About as sure as I am that you always try to pick an arguement with anyone whoever posts on here

Yes. You obviously think differently, so no surprise there.

That's half Martin's problem, he wants to be liked, wants to be everyone's best mate on the squad.

Surely he cannot survive a home defeat against Leicester?

Church

Am not even sure he believes we will win

They should try a year with Martin. Then they would appreciate what unpopular is

If that's the case, he would be better off being a coach or an assistant manager, keeping that link open between player and manager. He clearly wants to be liked by all the squad

I wonder if that was more to do with the possible points deduction more than anything else. Maybe Cooper was just more prepared to take the chance.

He needs the votes for Strictly.

He won't be able to continue if we go down regardless of a points total or not.

Stewart is even more of a liability defending. It was his needless challenge in the Ipswich game that lead to the corner they equalised from.

This could be horrific. Arsenal will see this as a massive opportunity to improve goal difference. That could be the deciding factor for the title this season.

BBD handpicked to play this system? Have you seen him play?

All this shit about the Championship being fun is a load of bollocks. It's only fun if you are top and winning matches. This squad is likely to be heavily diluted come the start of the season if we do go down. Why are people so confident we are going to go straight back up? There's even chance we are going to end up like Stoke or Bristol City, stuck going nowhere. I don't class myself as deluded just because I want the club to at least go down with a fight and be competitive.

Not sure it's small margins. We would still have had over an hour to contrive to lose the United game. There's no way we would have held out.

What makes you think we will come straight back up? We only just managed to scrape it last season.
