Don't players also fall out of love with the game when they get easily beaten every week? If a professional footballer isn't results driven then maybe they should be turning out for the local pub team instead.

Perhaps Delap and other decent No9s didn't fall for Martin's vision where strikers hardly ever see the ball.

Is this what the players have to listen to at the training ground?

Course not. That's just what they try to tell us. 😊😉

Landed Gentry Saint overseeing the workers is it? 😁

I did read it and simply responded. Debating with a contrarian such as yourself is to be avoided so I'll think twice before disturbing you in your lair again. 🤐 Btw, what sort of farmer gets to spend so much time rambling on in here all day anyway?

Saints lost. Again. Badly. Maybe you didn't notice. Or care.

But they won against an even more abject, powder-puff team. Second half there was only one team likely to score and it wasn't Saints.

Anybody buying into Martin's vision of football (fans, players or SR) must surely be having buyer's remorse by now. The bloke's obviously good at the sales patter but the players surely can't be enjoying getting turned over every week. Let's face it, the Everton game papered over the cracks of what could easily have been another defeat and yesterday normal service was resumed. This con-artist thinks he can re-invent football but his one-dimensional, plodding, backwards/sideways nonsense is easily countered by opponents. If SR really think that this geezer can get Saints promoted next time after this season's inevitable relegation they need to think again. Even Championship managers had begun to work him out last time round and they'll be well-prepared next season. Football is essentially a simple game. If only Martin could come to grips with the idea that it's basically all about scoring more goals than your opponent. Time to ditch him but I bet they don't.

Can I suggest some crossing practice for Saints?

Not quite 3-0 as Saints try to tippy-tappy out of defence again.

Shambles.

Have we had a shot on target yet?

Saints seem to be getting worse. Nearly a goal for Wolves from their own half after a bit too much tippy-tappy

Martin presses the desperation button. On comes Tall Paul but will he see any service?

Les really isn't an improvement on anybody.

Saints happy to pass the ball around and see out a 2-0 defeat.

Wolves 'keeper drops the ball but no Saints player on hand to stick it in the net.

With crossing like that there'd be no point introducing Tall Paul. Saints have become a disjointed shambles again.

Wolves pressing all over our tippy-tappy go nowhere Russball now.

Woeful free kick.

Saints lucky to get the win last week. This is back to normal with a vengeance.

No VAR for the foul on Archer then.

Wolves have a shot. Score.

Tippy-tappy. Give it away. Wolves chance. Saved.
