Golac's Cunning Stunts

Great analysis. All good then, crack on Russ!

Are you sure it's not because the manager has us playing passive, shite, boring, predictable football and the team has 4 points from a possible 33?

you can argue whether we ship goals passing around the penalty box as being fantasy or not. It is kind of irrelevant. The facts are that we have shipped 19 goals so far in 10 games. So projecting that forwards, that would be roughly 72 goals conceded by the end of the season - slightly more than all the Martin teams have conceded over a season (I believe the average quoted is 60 odd for each of his seasons in management). He does not know how to coach a defence which is just weird as he was supposedly a defender.

what's your definition of a "proper" saints fan exactly? Nobody is shitting their pants, just pointing out the football is turgid, the tactics are boring and easily worked out by the opposition and the team has made one of the worst starts to the PL ever

He must mean how close we are to achieving the record lowest point score in the PL

12 from 140 maybe

Yes it's called The Dunning-Kruger Effect

Agreed. Couple that with this weird obsession of recruiting "genius" managers who have a philosophy that everyone has to buy into regardless of whether that philosophy actually works and you get the shit show that is currently playing out in front of our eyes

Is this the worst start by a premier league team ever? The only worse start could be 0 points from 8 games?

It makes perfect sense

1 point from 24 will cost him his job no need to blame Taylor

Seriously he needs to be sacked now. Tonight

We brought him in to win games and ultimately establish ourselves in the PL again? Apologies if i have missed some context..haven't read back through all the history

woo aren't you clever! When you say " our most consistent international centre back" i take it you mean consistently shit?

Is that really all you've got? Helmet emoji thingy. There are plenty of teams in the PL eg Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Forest who don't have deeper pockets and none of which would consider Bednarek as a good choice for a CB in the PL

Meanwhile, Villa are in the champions league and we have a championship level defender

No idea what you mean. Would you care to explain?

He isn't good enough for the prem, so not sure why its such good news

I agree we have a weak squad compared to most PL teams. We have invested though and do have some good players now. Given we are up against it, why then play such suicidal tactics and gift teams goals every game? At least let’s try and be hard to beat. Oh and playing a striker might help at the other end too 😀

This post should be made a sticky and left for everyone to read until Martin is gone

What an absolute car crash of a post

Do you actually go to games or just go on FM stats? The difference between Sadio and Sulemana in their first 20 odd games is chalk and cheese

He didn’t play for any ground breaking teams. He was a Joe average player. So can only think that’s why he feels he has to have this genius philosophy as a manager?

But is the cat being skinned scoring a record low number of goals 😉

Problem with this argument as far as I can see is that the examples given have world class technical players. Not sure our lot are good enough to be honest
