That’s my biggest criticism If you love this awful formation, why didn’t he bed it in during preseason? Just odd, inconsistent management as usual in recent years.

Our league one side would have battered this current lot Sad to say, but it’s true.

Pros: - I appreciate his disdain for the media and press conferences. Makes them quite funny Cons: - Everything else so far

To be honest it’s not good enough at all He’s had all preseason and we look so disorganised. Why do Stoke look like a team, whereas we look like strangers?

Absolutely fuckin atrocious. Literally exposes our weaknesses and doesn’t do anything to play to our strengths (not that we have many) Dont get it at all, especially at home.

I’d rather have Mark Robins than either.

My god. I normally want to hold off and not judge too soon. But he is absolutely abysmal. Can’t even control the ball. Classic sport republic signing

We aren’t going to be lucky enough to scrape up through the playoffs again. We’re in big trouble. Whole squad is fucking toilet. And the recruitment is not improving at all. No strength, no patterns of play. Just an absolute nothing team. The strength & desire from Stoke is just completely alien to this bunch of dossers.

Yeah. Fucking depressing. Go down a league and literally look just as bad. Absolutely pathetic today. Credit to Stoke for looking strong and digging in. What the fuck were we doing in pre season?

We’ve all been saying it for a long time but we should throw as much money at stoke as they want for their keeper. Unreal player. We are an absolute fucking disgrace. Our recruitment is a joke. Still needs to stop this five at the back shit. Absolutely shocking all round.

Just came here to say the same thing wtf do we have to do to get a free kick this season?

This seems really sensible to me. Brentford fans seem to all be saying the same things: good defensively, great character, works hard. All things which we have been sorely lacking for a number of years, even back to our first relegation. We have to stop shipping vast quantities of goals.

Glad Diblings finally gone, great fee Absolutely no ill will, but to me he clearly didn’t really want to be here. He has a lot of potential and a high ceiling but really he didn’t play for us anywhere near enough, or do enough, for me to be sad about him going. I do think he was massively underutilised though. Should have played for us in the championship. Good luck to the lad. I wish him well. Grealish and Dibling on the wings will be something.

From the right wing, as an inside forward, in a particular boring system, he did very well. Would never say otherwise. …But he isn’t a 9. Every time he plays up there we look worse for it as the ball constantly comes back at us.

Haha. I really like will still already. He sounds so bored of the transfer window 😂 Can tell he’s thinking “this is fucking pointless get me to the training ground” constantly

Always injured, young prospect, 4ft tall, donkey, 4ft tall I also think we need another striker, personally. I’d be happy to let most of ours go if we can bring in one more good one.

Funny how months and months of watching absolutely shite football whilst being gaslit that you’re watching the second coming of Brazil leads to a build up in resentment. Weird.

He’s also said “the precursor for change is pain”. When in reality having Martin as manager is constant pain, without change. Genuinely feel sorry for Rangers. He’s going to do so much damage to them, like he has here. He always has just enough management catch phrases to keep his job and hoodwink the non-football decision makers.

Hahahahahaha. I remember many being slated for saying how bad he was. Well, well, well. He clearly pulled the wool over a lot of people’s eyes. Sadly, it also shows how inept SR are that they fell for this charlatan

Yep, I agree.. if we hadn’t been promoted, we’d have had another poor window and be in an even worse position imo. Everything boils down to recruitment. SR have a couple more weeks to prove that they have learned some lessons….

Bloody hell, just checked and he’s still only 30. That would be an immense signing. Way better than anything we have up front.

Well… That is extremely underwhelming.

Ultimately it’s a good point, away against the best team in the league (on paper) But feel like it was a missed opportunity. Arma up front and 3 at the back still seems dumb to me. But I think there are a lot of positives. Add some wingers & strikers and we should be ok.

What do we have to do to get a free kick? last week and this week have been comical refereeing

GET IN! Arma up front is simply painful.. but apart from that we look ok. Just need that focal point and have arma move outside. But we’ve been pretty good except the first 3 mins
