Ah ok, agree with your reply. He isn’t premier league level really, agree there, but FOR US, he’s the best we’ve got which says more about us. I think the previous annoyance was that even worse strikers than him, who have no physical presence so weren’t even getting a kick, were getting a stack more game time. He probably needs to start 80-90% of our games in reality unless we somehow sign a better centre forward by Monday.

Exhibit A of fucking clueless fans. The one striker we have with a physical presence who actually knows where the net is and has a prolific scoring ratio, and you don’t want to play him. He’s the best we’ve got right now in terms of a focal point up front. Who would you suggest replaces him as a genuine centre forward then? Laughable

Feel free to tell me what parts of my post you disagree with. Or are you suggesting you think Martin got the best out of what he had available to him?

Surely it’s quite natural for a fanbase to still be a little bit aggrieved at the ineptitude of the previous manager who managed 5 points from 17 games or are we all supposed to forget about the fact that the guy was more interested in his own image than making sure he got the best out of the squad at his disposal and actually set the team up to be competitive, at the very least show some resolve and try to get some positive performances out of the squad and set them up correctly to give the best possible chance to do. He failed at the most basic, given requirements that all fans of any team should expect, and not only that, he didn’t seem to have an issue with the way things were going either. And that’s a huge part of why we’re already relegated in January with the worst start to a season in premier league history. Again, it’s utterly bizarre that as a fan of this club, none of this seems to bother you: to the contrary in fact.

It’s quite probably that, because let’s be honest Martin has found himself overall to be lacking in certain basic fundamentals needed to be successful manager. He has probably guaranteed himself to never ever get anywhere near a premier league job again. And If he ever took another champ club up, he would likely be replaced before he had a chance to manage them in the prem, based on the shit show he presided on here.

That aside, and forgetting this particular brooks topic…you do seem to relentlessly stick up for Martin, against all logic sometimes. I’d be interested to know what it was about him that you felt you had to keep defending the often indefensible. I just find it really odd - almost to the point where there’s more to it

The relentless defence of Lego by certain posters is so bizarre when he proved beyond all doubt he was hugely out of his depth here at best, and completely negligent and bringing the club into disrepute, at worst. Judging by reports of the overall fitness levels and total lack discipline among the whole environment during his tenure…combined with our pitiful points tally this season, I don’t think the latter is too far wrong.

I mean ,you read quotes like this attributed to Rasmus, and it’s almost as if he’s a massively arrogant detestable cunt isn’t it?

Not these two sides no, that’s why we are the peoples club. We give so much back in the name of entertainment. Russell has even said “we aren’t here to grind out results” - and fair play to the boy. The football purists don’t want to see that sort of shit, they want to see teams with 5 points in December bringing the ball out from the back with the swagger of prime Bobby Moore, before walking the ball into 3 oncoming attackers and providing them with an empty net to roll said ball in to.

What it really needs is for one of these teams keepers to pass the ball to a defender facing his own goal with 3 attackers breathing down his neck, to open this game up a bit I reckon

Sport Republic, If you’re really there, Don’t make the same mistakes again, and sack lego hair.

This will most likely be yet another club with a terrible defensive record who keeps a clean sheet against us with complete ease.

Yeah, this is all well and good but our bloody fans need to stop conceding so many fucking goals at the other end! I’ve lost count of the amount of times we’ve been on the cusp of a glorious Lego masterminded win, only for our fans to shit on his bonfire with some terrible defending at the very end and cost us god knows many points already this season.

We’re literally paying none of these ex managers off

Hopefully pinder bins him off soon too. Dating her has clearly not helped his levels of arrogance and sense of untouchability

Our relegation back to the championship has been pretty instantaneous, in all fairness.

And unfortunately now, they’ve left fans with no choice but to take this course of action , as maybe hoardes of empty seats will actually give them some sort of message that fans aren’t going to blindly take being arse fucked by these odious cretins any longer. There comes a point when you morally can’t bring yourself to spend money on something any longer. And these idiots have gotten us well and truly to this point now.

They’ve got hangovers to nurse apparently having been boozing in Ireland as part of their Xmas party celebrations. So I’m told anyway….

I reckon it’s high time the fanbase let them know during match days that we want them to kindly fuck off now. They’ve had an easy ride during 3 years of horrific decision making

This has to be the quickest premier league surrender ever, with zero action taken to even attempt to remedy a fast sinking ship. An utter disgrace from top to bottom.

To be fair, they’ll need a couple of days to recover from their Xmas party piss up that they embarked on at the weekend, so fair enough really. They’ve really earned that downtime

These jokers don’t deserve the fans support or respect. They clearly don’t respect the fans , keeping this cunt in charge. Wonder if it’ll be the fans fault when we lose on Sunday?

Yes let’s leave it another week in the hope that the unrecoverable will be recoverable, because that always solves the problem doesn’t it. Really is just laughable. This lot will do anything to prioritise a 1% chance that they can save their own reputation, over and above the best for the football club itself and results on the pitch.

Exactly. Martins goodwill with the fans is now non existent after the start to this season coupled with his blaming the fans for conceding goals. Surely under no circumstances does he stay into next season.

I was at that game , equaliser was scored by Downing, if I remember they almost got a winner too which was tipped behind for a corner. Agree, if we’d held on to that, I think we’d have survived
