If there's still no points on the board after the Ipswich and Bournemouth games as I suspect there might be things will get difficult for Martin, the club won't take any action if they can help it though as it makes them look a complete laughing stock after offering a new contract (to someone completely unproven at premier league level) and then sacking him after seven or eight games! It would show they've learnt a thing (which they haven't) I can easily see him still being here at Xmas and us cut adrift at the bottom

A signing that reeks of desperation he's looked no better than AA and that's saying something

Tall paul looked a shocking carthorse when he did actually come on for us not quite ali dia levels but bad, think they saw us coming on that transfer, so many bad signings saints have gambled on

Russell Martins interview Interviewer: What's your analysis of that game russell? RM: We played them off the park for 30 mins and our possession was world class Interviewer: And the second half? RM: We were so brave so brave we just have to keep doing what we are doing and believe in it Interviewer: It's not the ideal start though is it? No points and 8 goals against while only scoring one, any idea when it will start clicking? RM: Football isn't always about goals or winning games surely you know that?

Hope from me, I don't think he will be gone the club have tied their selves to him long-term all part of the genius bigger picture. I remember when Martin was appointed tte general consensus on here that was that we weren't impressed with his underwhelming CV but that he might have enough to scrape promotion if he got a very mediocre team to mid table but he'd get found out in the premier league... I am shocked that the club are so naive in thinking that he's suddenly going to adapt when he's made it clear he isn't and has no plan B just to persist with plan A. I can't see that sticking with him when we go down is going to help things either as a lot of the good will towards him will be long gone, thanks for everything Russell but a premier league manager you are not.

Absolute madness to be tied to Martin for so long bet he couldn't get a pen in his hand quick enough!

Ramsdale Fenandez sugawara KWP dibling, Bella kotchep (if played) all good enough, the rest not so much

They wouldn't have persisted with Martin and let him sign a new contract if they were interested in staying up

Serious question does anyone think Martin is capable of turning this team around? And don't give me a noone could, we have the Spine of a decent team with a decent striker and defender and a change of style and tactics

We only just scrapped it by being slightly less shit in the playoffs! It wasn't comfortable promotion by any stretch of the imagination

He obviously knew we were relegation material, probably a contract clause when the inevitable happens

But literally every commentator knew Russ ball wouldn't work at this level they all said it

Yes but why? Too scared to make the difficult decisions? Martin cheap option? Everyone knew he wouldn't cut it at this level they have been preparing for a championship push again nothing more and seem content with that

Call me reactionary but get someone new in now while there's time, someone more attack minded, don't care about attractive football, someone who gives us a chance of scraping survival. The club knew Martin was going to be a disaster at this level and that's exactly how it's turnt out!

United haven't even had to be that decent as we self implode every bloody time! say what you want about looking a bit better, we aren't staying in this league that's for sure!

It literally is this every game! it's clear neither the team or the manager is good enough at this level

Game over ffs

So much for Martin saying we are going to eliminate defensive errors!

Such a week goal to concede didn't even need a powerful header

We just aren't clinical and have paid the price!

Pathetic defence from us

O

As soon as he lined up I said to myself he's going to miss looked nervous as hell

Id have let dibling take it personally

Useless from archer absolutely pathetic
