Lee On Solent Saint

The shortfall between quality and quantity is obvioulsy stark, and you do get exposed for it in the PL. However, Martin is not helping us to become a coherent or competitive team. He's reactive to situations in the main. No subs against Forest until they scored, four subs in one hit against Uniited. Am not sure how you can make four subs in one go and still be expected to know what you are doing. It just causes issues all over the pitch with players unsure what they are supposed to be doing. The only real time he has been proactive with subs was against Brentford, which again was probably forced as Armstrong's confidence after that miss would have been on the floor. We need to really focus on making the games as difficult as we can for opponents, be solid, be hard to break down and make opposing players work for goals instead of just gifting them chances. We are far too easy to play against, and that is a direct result of Martin and his obession with his brand of football. SR need to give this squad a chance of avoiding relegation. In my opinion the only chance we have is ditching Martin.

Not disagreeing that we lack a bit of quality, but when a squad lacks that, a manager finds other ways to compensate for that lack of quality. Martin does not have that in his locker.

I can't understand why some of our fans are just accepting relegation as a certainity. You would think we are a tinpot club after our first promotion to the big leagues judging by the comments on here, sort of thing I would have expected to hear on the Luton boards last season. I'm nearly 51, and the majority of those years have seen us as a Division One or Premier League club. We aren't a bad squad, I believe with a manager who knows what he was doing in terms of organisation and in game management we would be at least competitive. SR have options, they just need to give us the best chance of avoiding relegation. At the moment that doesn't seem likely with Martin in charge.

Should have played last night instead of Wood.

Don't forget how brave we were too.

The thought of him playing in the PL absolutely terrifies me.

Pretty sure we got "unlocked" quite a few times last night. The Swedish winger they have missed two good one on ones with McCarthy,

He must be right, he's in the COT.

Hate that shit. Too Klopp like for me. Let the players take the credit.

A goal!! From a set piece too!!

Pathetic, yet again

We do realise that the object of the game is to put the round thing into the big nets between two white posts?

Has it? Not really interested

Not counting Onuacho, but I would have liked to have seen ABK be brought back in. Potentially the guy is going to be just training until January. At the very least we should be using these games to get him fit and show clubs that he can still play.

Swansea fans were delighted when Martin left too!

Blackmore questioning why ABK and TP aren't playing on Solent. Bet he doesn't ask Martin after the game why they aren't.

A playable assest like ABK left to sit out until January. This club is run by complete amateurs

Train

Like Roy Keane you mean? Or Jimmy Case? Either which are as far removed from Stephens as you can possibly get.

Storm

Fair enough if you think that. No drama. He got the job just because he was the longest serving player at the club. He's no more a captain than JWP was.

Not quite sure vilified is quite the right word. I've no doubt he cares for the club, but at the end of the day, he's just not good enough. We as fans have seen this and have known this for about the last five years or so. Yet Martin does not, a supposed professional football manager.

Probably something along the lines of we don't try to be clever and we defintely don't try to be Man City.

Don't really think anyone was happy with Jones either. Galling to say, but even Bournemouth can identifiy half decent managers, if they can, why the fuck do we make it so difficult?

He's not a leader in any way shape or form.
