I've answered above. I don't think it works with such a poor team.

I'm not saying it has worked. It's not a tactic I would use in the PL with a Championship quality team. Irrelevant of that, it is what he wants us to do.

It's a result of players making mistakes - I'm not really sure how that means he endorses it. He doesn't want players to make mistakes, but all players do. He endorses the tactic of keeping the ball, yes. He doesn't endorse the tactic of giving the ball away.

That's not a tactical instruction from Martin, no.

The theory of keeping the ball - I would assume so, yes - but he doesn't control every pass and decision on the pitch. Essentially the tactic draws in players to allow us to overload in areas of the pitch and allow us to move quickly through the lines. We do pass back a lot and it is frustrating, but that's only part of the Martin tactics.

Good result - thought we'd win this one as I said earlier in the week. Got a bit of luck but we've been utterly screwed with luck so far this season so think it's fair we at least got some. I did notice an utter love-in for Dyche earlier in the week - I'm assuming we would no longer want him as Manager. There also seems to be a lot of comments about the fact that of course we scored by moving the ball quicker as if that's a slight on Martin - Martin has consistently said he wants the ball to be moved quicker so it's good the players followed his instructions.

How do you search on this fucking forum? I'm trying to find it.

I did, yes.

Ramsdale plays like he has 2 left feet. What an odd signing considering that.

Bree again...

This basic inability to defend is utterly mental.

And wage ceiling

Tit pics from Pinder.

Les and Cornet are soooooooooo bad.

Someone really fucking boring. I'm going CB Fry 😉

He's doing the list for the penalties!

This is fucking turgid.

Our defence is

Again, piss poor defending. Can't get away from having shit at the back.

Les looks like he's won a competition to play.

Cornet is so bad. Cancel his loan, he's on £65k PW.

Yeah, agreed. I think we should play a narrow 3 of BBD, Archer and AA, and then use the full backs as the width.

BBD scored those off the wing yeah...

It's why it works so well for Man City, and probably why it would work again next season in the Championship.

The Sky coverage is more boring than the football.
