But if they didn’t take risks he couldn’t call them brave.

But are they buying them or laughing at them?

Which one, there are so many candidates?

Times change, and we change with them.

By ‘this garbage’ I was referring to the style of football. And why would you think that promotion was likely? We scraped through last time but that’s no guarantee of future success.

And the pair of them are then playing the opposition onside.

Oh God! Not another season of this garbage. And please don’t go on again about last season. That is no longer relevant.

Of course he does. And then he would get nothing. Deserves and gets are not necessarily related.

Had he done that he would have immediately been closed down and most probably lost the ball.

It doesn’t matter when and in what order the goals are scored. All that matters is the end result.

He deserves nothing.

It’s a mistake that shouldn’t be made. But you have to organise your defence to reduce the chance that it might be made.

Well I’m not going to wear a blindfold and try to pin a tail on it.

You have to realise that not everything in life is black and white. Martin cannot organise a defence. His record at previous clubs is just as bad as at ours. An organised defence consists of many layers. If Salah is marked properly then McCarthy doesn’t get a chance to run out of the way.

Bree is a better player.

Oh no it isn’t !

A big reason but Salah had a clear run on goal due to open defending. And he wasn’t the first.

It has already ended in abject failure.

It had nothing to do with it being Salah. To pretend that it did is to think that the goal was down to a top quality forward whereas it was poor defending all round. Any forward would have leapt at that chance. Even any of ours. Poor defending is entirely down to Martin. It’s been the same with him everywhere he’s been.

A few sparks of brightness in a dismal season.

And escalators on the Underground after mini skirts had arrived and before tights were introduced. Fortunately no gentleman would look. Unfortunately I’m not a gentleman.

It wouldn’t have mattered who the winger was, unmarked by attack least ten yards and a clear run at goal and any forward would be licking their lips.

Martin won’t be getting us promoted again. Even if the fans are still around at that time I doubt that I shall be but happy memories of times past and all that.

If we keep playing this way we will not find our feet in the Premier League. They will be stuck in the mud at the bottom of a lower league. Personally I hate the way that we play. When it doesn’t concede goals it’s boring as hell and when it doesn’t concede goals it’s infuriating.
