Lee On Solent Saint

Just saying, but Martin is managing us in the Championship. Not really a fair comparison

Outplayed by another bang average Championship team

Just bullied out of it yet again

You can add Adam Armstrong to that list too

Is the ref aware that he can also book Preston players

Bit of physicality and we just can't handle it

Wish we were Leicester

Seriously??

Always thought Bournemouth were a bit hasty in booting him out.

Absolutely. Certainly from my generation anyway.

Interested to know what's on the MLT video. The ones I have show the best player ever to play for Saints scoring some of the best goals I have ever had the privilege to see.

Where have I said I have hatred for the players or Martin? I've expressed an opinion that if we are serious about automatic promotion then we should be beating Rotherham at home comfortably. Not really sure that's being disrespectful to Rotherham, they probably turned up not expecting to get much.

Said on another thread. Leicester and Leeds would absolutely wipe the floor with Rotherham at home. As will most sides that consider themselves promotion contenders. But it's ok that we didn't because we had 80 percent possession.

There hasn't been a connection with the team for a while now, hardly surprising when we have home form as wretched as ours from the past two and a bit seasons.

He didn't exactly do himself any favours by taking off the 3 players who displayed the most attacking intent throughout much of the first half.

I get the point you are making, but I'm a fan and nothing else. Sure, I spend money supporting the club, and yes, that makes me a customer, but I also spend money at Tesco etc, but I don't have any kind of emotional attachment to them, they are just stores. At the end of the day its just a word, but I'd rather be referred to as a fan than a customer.

Can't believe a West Ham player is sensitive to a bit of booing. Weren't their fans fighting amongst each other quite recently? We've not quite reached that level yet.

I know that the club doesn't mean much to players and managers, but it does to me. That's why I class myself as a fan not a customer.

Supporters? We were customers yesterday.

I'm not a fuckin customer. I am a fuckin fan. Customer? What sort of shit is that? Are you deliberately trying to get people's goat up?

Arguing with fans after the game isn't a good look. Just walk away. You can address that after the game in the press conferences, which he seems to do at every turn anyway.

A thought occured to me on the way home after the game yesterday. Did SR get this the wrong way around? After sacking Ralph, should we have gone for Martin then? We practically did when we gave Selles the job anyway. So after the inevitable relegation to the Championship under Martin, would we have not been better off going for Jones for this season rather than last?

I have read your posts, and I conclude that they are absolute nonsense. Fair enough you have an opinion, as do I, and my opinion is that there is no excuse for not beating teams like Rotherham at home if you want to get promotion. There were periods in the game yesterday where absolutley nothing was happening, we were more than happy in passing it along the back four, and then when the ball found its way further into the midfield, the likes of Smallbone and Downes were more than happy to give it back to the centre halves. It got us nowhere, time and time again, we allowed Rotherham to get into a shape which we couldn't break down with our insitence of just passing it around. As the game wore on it was inevitable that they would score, in the end we could have lost that game as the usual barrage of high balls swept in.

Do you need reminding of the performances against Sunderland, Leicester, Ipswich and Middlesborough? I was at the Ipswich game, quite honestly we could have played all night and still not scored. We are playing shit football at the moment, and have been playing shit football for the past three seasons at least.
