Lee On Solent Saint

Who've just sacked Neil, no real surprise there.

At the end of the day we can't control what other teams do. The bare minium for us this season was play offs, I would suggest we are going to make that target comfortably. However, we have under performed as a team this season. This squad should absolutely be a lot closer to both Leicester and Ipswich. Having said that, this is a complete freak of a season as they seem to win every week.

Vastly inferior. I'd wager they've not had too many injurires or suspensions either to this point. Also, a fair bulk of that squad were playing League One football last season, the vast majority of ours, Premier League.

I'd question that to be honest, player for player we have better. Martin is holding this squad back as it stands by not playing to their potential.

Oh well, play offs confirmed

Take a point and just move on?

Last time I was at their place saw us lose 3-2, must have been just after Christmas either 99 or 2000. Think we pulled it back to 2-2 before concending late.

How the fuck did he ever get a job here?

Typical that the year we go down into the Championship there are four maybe five teams of similar quality. Keep waiting for Ipswich's bubble to burst but doesn't seem to be happening.

My favourite Xmas movie!

When is it not?!

Surely we never paid that much for him?

This bloke is proper marmite! Not even Puel divided the fan base as much as Martin.

If you take that quote in isolation, it almost seems as if doesn't want goals like that being scored. The fact that we hadn't passed it amongst ourselves about 90 times seems like the only type of goals he is happy with. I've not heard the interview, but I hope he did find the time to say what a fantastic effort it was from KWP. It was the only true moment of quality in a otherwise uninspiring performance.

Don't get me wrong, am happy we won and undefeated, but fuck me it was a shit game to watch.

The only business we need to do is make sure we keep hold of KWP.

Like a lot of home games this season, the reaction at half time from the crowd said it all. First half was yet again slow and ponderous with little to get exicited about. The goal came from absolutely nothing and was truly the only bit of quality all game. I don't know if it was the half time reaction that got Martin wound up, but we are on a 10 game unbeaten run, yet it feels like pulling teeth watching us right now.

I disagree. Sulemana should be tearing up this league, yet he has shown anything but that type of form.

Results like yesterday happen. Leeds and Ipswich also failed to beat Rotherham. Am not Martin's biggest fan, and I think he would have failed if he doesn't take us up this year, but at the moment we are still pretty much well placed to push on. Two wins this week at home, and the atomosphere suddenly changes again.

I know he probably wanted to go and wouldn't have stayed, but in hindsight, would have been better to have kept Tella and sold Sulemana.

Decent outfit. Quick, strong and aggressive.

West Brom second goal. Doubt we'll every score a goal like that under Martin.

Probably won't be seeing Sule start on Wednesday. Martin sounded pretty hacked off with him.

Two home wins next Wednesday and Saturday and this result won't seem so bad.
