Good god, posters' blind hatred (yes hatred) for Martin seems to make you forget the real reasons ABK is out in the cold: Him and Salisu had a terrible attitude during the relegation season and basically bottled it (as confirmed by various sources/the club) He couldn't wait to leave He refused to play for the U21s Someone with good connections posted on here that some of the players said that he has an appalling attitude, one of the worst of any professional they have encountered But let's say it Martin's fault for freezing him out. Juts like Lesley had one decent sub performance but is now a world beater that Martin mistreated (with the same posters having lambasted his performances previously).

SO our one creative player, that can actually make things happen, is taken off while the useless piece of shit that is Armstrong stays on. What a dull, uninspiring team/squad we have. Throughly depressing club.

Of course, but everything I have read about him and his teams drove my assumptions. One thing is clear, SR are all over the place and this appointment doesn't seem to sit with the style the owners wanted to see when they appointed Martin. I hope I'm wrong and he turns out to be great......I just dont think that will be the case, similar feeling to when we appointed Jones.

Very underwhelmed: for those crying out for a more attacking style, he does not seem the guy to implement it. Plus he has never managed outside of Italy (I believe) which is hardly a bastion of attacking, free flowing football. I have a feeling we are in for some extremely turgid football.

Reading the very sad tale of Joey Beauchamp and thinking some of it (not the post playing career part) may have some parallels with Tyler. Before a lot of peoples time on here I'm sure but Beachamp was a great player for Oxford and made a move to West Ham but left after 56 days or so as he was deeply unhappy and really wanted to be at Oxford and so moved back. Times were not kind to Beauchamp after he finished playing and he sadly took his own life. The only reason I bring this up is that Tyler left Chelsea after a short time there and it seems that, even if we go down, that perhaps Tyler is better staying at Saints: certainly for 2-3 seasons more (when he'll still be only 21!), especially as many articles have said he is quite shy and introverted and that perhaps the bright lights and spotlight on him will not be a good thing for him personally at such a young age. Or maybe that is wishful thinking on my part as he is the only bright spot this season!

I assume you are joking? The same manager who was a laughing stock at WBA and is currently managing in the SPanish 2nd division?

For me, what spoke volumes about Martin was his smug, arrogant responses when Rishi Sunak was present at St Marys last season. Treat people how you would like to be treated is my motto.....and Martin's arrogance and smugness came back to bite him on the bum. His complete refusal to modify the playing style (when everyone knew we could not play that same way in the Prem) essentially means we have had a wasted season. That being said SR are terrible owners. Have they gotten a single decision right since taking over? Keep that wanker Ankusssen as far away from the club as possible.

And that lineup just shows how bad and shit a squad we have. Maybe 2 Prem quality players there (Dibling and Fernandes).....and that would likely be our strongest team!

Well, somehow my Washington COmmanders hung on for the win, despite playing as badly in the 2nd half as Saints did in the 1st half. Ironically the COmmanders were playing the Saints

Wow, he takes Manning off who has been OK and leaves KWP (who has been shit all season) on. What a muppet

AGree. Him and Downes are vastly overrated

Adam Armstrong really is shit. As is Aribo, Bednarek, etc. On that pitch only Fernandes and Dibling have anything about them. WHat an utter disgrace this club is.

I feel for Sulemana.......the comic defending was nothing to do with him and the idiot yanks him. Whatever, anyone thinks of Suleman's abiliities that is plain wrong and will destroy any confidence he has left. Martin has to be history, tonight.

Why is anyone taking anythong Soze says at face value? He's always been a wind up merchant.

What an absolutely awful squad we have. AA, Archer, BBD, Fraser, Sulemana, Cornet as 'attacking' players are absolute garbage. Lesley - what was the point? Lallana - injured the last 2-3 seasons and carrying that on with Saints Garbage squad, garbage manager, garbage recruitment and garbage owners

Sulemana on with 3 mnutes left. Why? Please put Russell, and us, out of his misery

BBD coming on - this can only mean goals, goals, goals. At least for Villa

SAA did more in 30 seconds than Archer or Armstrong the whole game. And Armstrong on his heels as opposed to gambling on that fantastic cross from SAA.

We've been screwed since the start of the season with the terrible summer recruitment and this manager.

WHy am I wasting my life watching Saints? This is utter dirge: sideways, sideways, backwards. Absolutely no threat or excitement to our play. When we have a chance to break we check and look for the slow sideways pass (or back). It does not take a rocket scientist to work out that slow build up play allows the opposition to get men behind the ball and reset. ANd yet, when you see DIbling break at pace you see what could be possible

Armstrong can never seem to stay onside. From a birght, but non-threatening, start we now look comepletely bereft of ideas and talent. Even Dibling is playing very poorly today

What a calamity this side is. Almost no Prem quality and suicidal tactics at the back.

Bloody hell - just shows how poor our squad is with half that team and our subs! Lesley is obviously done at Saints (good riddance he is utter shite) as he can't even make a low quality bench.

The move from Reading to Hull makes no sense. Substituting one basket case club for another

Hell you got Turkish mixed up with me......doesn't everyone do that?
