Based on history, I’d argue he is. Jones has much more pedigree. He’s just ugly and his style of football isn’t much prettier.

Without a doubt yes. I said that at the time as well. Proven record of getting teams out this league in the past and will do it again. Much better manager.

Play the 2 together if you must. He did at WBA, it worked a treat. And Whilst not great, we were solid first half against Bristol. we cannot play 3 attack minded CM’s, it’s fucking crazy.

Been managed very badly by Martin. Simply has to play when Downes is out. No thrills but protects the defence significantly better than anyone else we’ve tried.

It went tits up when Downes got injured and Martin refused to play Charles. Might not have won anymore, but we wouldn’t have shipped 2 a game. poor management.

I want him gone because I don’t really like the bloke. Comes across as incredibly arrogant and talks the same utter shite week after week. We’re not gonna sack him t this point though and rightly so. When we fail to go up, I’d be asking massive questions. There’s no way he’ll take us up next season with a significantly weakened squad.

He rejected us in the summer. Can’t see him taking it this time round.. especially when his mate Wilcox has gone.

Starting to feel? It was bloody obvious. We drew way too many and stole a a couple in the final minute due to having better players than everyone else.

Surely we should be throwing the kitchen sink at Rosenoir or McKenna in the summer.. whichever doesn’t go up. Both much better, tactically astute, managers achieving more on half the budget

He won’t. He’ll stick around until mid season next year and then will get sacked when we’re mid-table. Poor manager being made to look better by good players.

They played 3 lumps at CB to our single lone forward. Is it any wonder we didn’t have more success?

Now the play offs are all but confirmed - who do we want? IMO WBA which’ll mean we’ll need to finish 3rd. ipswich, saints, hull, wba will be the final 4 with Hull going on to win it.

Broken. Very, very broken.

It wouldn’t be hipster enough to play people in their best position.

We’ve started to play more competent teams…

He’ll blame the fans I expect.

If you can show me a single post which suggests THB at right back, Stephen’s at CB playing higher than our midfield and KWP at Left back, I’ll be amazed.

It’s not the football, it’s the stupid team selection by the manager. Stephen’s trying to play a hybrid number 10/Cb role, KWP on the left just both haven’t worked. Stupid experiments.

Millwall have come, defended well, made it hard for us and we don’t have the answers. Far too one dimensional, no plan B, all round just really really shit.

I’m going for him to be sacked this time next year when we’re firmly in the ‘Martin Zone’ of mid-table

Not more defensive, Stephen’s is practically playing as a cm. Still wide open, don’t you worry.

Promotion all together. We’ve been found out, we’re not going up. staying down is probably for the best as we’d get absolutely embarrassed week after week in the PL

Thank christ for that. I can only imagine the state of this forum if you weren't too tight to pay a fiver. Although, to be fair, it would cost you a pretty penny to have a membership for all your accounts.

Assumed when I saw this thread that he had found himself a coaching job. But in true saintsweb fashion, you never fail to amaze.

2-0 for Russell Martin's flat-track bullies.
