Who’s voting ‘no’? 😂

This is, and I don’t say this lightly, the most stupid forum post I have ever read. Setting up to lose every game pitifully should be a source of pride for the supporters? Mediocrity is a distant dream under this manager.

This has absolutely cracked me up 😂 Strengths: None

He doesn’t know how to set up a midfield. Downes bailed him out in the championship because he’s class. But now he’s been totally found out. You can’t play Adam lallana and Aribo as defensive midfielders at this level. It’s moronic.

Worst part is, he is still Albert Einstein compared to Rasmus at picking managers

We aren’t making 20 points if Martin stays. If he goes - then maybe

- Recruitment: Terrible - Manager appointments: Worse than terrible I do quite like the fan zone and the stadium improvements though, so there’s that. But all in all, these guys are fucking idiots

Jesus Christ. We are royally fucked. Can’t wait for a couple of signings of the calibre of BBD and Sulemana. That will save us! Whats Orsic up to?

Fuck it, let’s just keep him. It will be quite funny to watch the arrogance drain away after months of getting beaten. Surely he can’t call the team brave when we are still on 4 points at Christmas

22 Pompey fans on the board. Fair play

Has he fucking gone yet?!?

Thanks for Wembley Russ. Times up.

This is fucking horrific. BBD might be worse than Ali Dia. Our tactics and general malaise is just beyond embarrassing PLEASE can we appoint someone competent

Anyone else bored? Dunno if it’s just me or if this style of football. Feels like we create no excitement

I still have serious doubts that this playing style is getting the best out of this squad. Based on the season so far our players are more than a match for Ipswich, Leicester, Everton etc. so we can compete if we stop giving away ridiculous goals. We were very poor again for a large portion of that game. But the winning feeling is so good, who cares. Ramsdale is a sensation. Can’t believe he’s ours. What a keeper.

Russ, what are you doing posting essays on here? Shouldn’t you be preparing the team for the game? Btw this is all absolute fucking nonsense. We aren’t hostile to him for any of the above reasons. We are hostile to him because he’s embarrassing our football club and he’s not good enough. He was poor last season too btw. A better manager would have had our squad competing properly. I’m not sure why you and your best mate find that so difficult to comprehend.

This is because it’s absolutely insane to be going into a huge six pointer with an absolute muppet in charge. Every other PL club would have sacked him by now

Not even joking, I genuinely have seen better players at Sunday league. Im not even sure how he got goals in the championship based on his performances so far. I don’t recall a worse first touch from a professional footballer Is he out of shape/unfit compared to his Blackburn days? Did anyone watch him before?

Credit where credit’s due, the club have actually managed to get 3 or 4 of the worst wingers I’ve ever seen into one squad, at the same time. You could go down to a random sports field in Southampton on a Saturday/Sunday, pick out any random player, and they honestly couldn’t be worse than this lad, BBD and Sulemana. Absolutely shite

I wouldn’t trust Sports Republic to sign an autograph Can guarantee this window will be another disaster where we end up weaker

I , for one , am massively enjoying the gallows humour on here. So at least we have that. 0-2 Everton.

This is the thing all the Martin fan boys are missing We literally can’t get worse this time. I know this was said before under Hasenhuttl. (Where we didn’t realise how good we had it up in 15th). But this time we literally can’t get worse. We lose every week. Even struggled against Stoke’s reserves. Why wouldn’t we try something new?

Put one good cross into Paul Onuachu in the whole time he’s been at the club. We’ve had one of the country’s biggest strikers for nearly 2 years and he’s received one cross into the box. (West Ham when he hit the bar). Does anyone else remember another one?

Would like to see Cornet, Lesley and Paul given a good go. All players that if at their best could make a difference, but underwhelmed so far

Yeah but there’s no logic in anything he does. He doesn’t use cup games to try new things. He doesn’t try and build relationships between players. Just sticks people anywhere. Then subs them off and sticks new players anywhere. How will the players learn to play with each other with his buffoonery going on? Normally the one thing championship sides have is good chemistry as they come up. Can win a few games on that alone. But we have zero
