Mr X

Fernades tried to keep ball too long there

Our only hope is the players ignore russball and do their own game 😂

Literally took them 30 seconds to mention the 9-0 😂

You sure you want one?

This is true we have the weakest striker line up in the league and the club has had numerous opportunities to put this right! And What do they do?.... Buy a proven sick note player!

That is a definite blessing in disguise!

Russell Martin after the seventh loss and eight games without a win: Russell what's your verdict on that game? RM: I'm really proud of the bravery and and possession on display today we stuck to our philosophy and are all the better for it, We have to believe the system will reward us and the more we stray from our system the less of a winning mentality we will have! I am confident that this is the right system and noone should be judged on how many games they have won after only eight games thats madness! I don't just want to just be judged on how many points we have on the board that's not how I operate, I want to be judged on the bigger picture of statistics and the long term vision for my style of the game fan opinion is not even secondary to me! Russell that's now 1 point from 24 available its going to be extremely tough now with the fixtures coming up We are improving every single game we are going in the right direction, we should have won today and individual mistakes have cost us again, players need to be more confident in the martin system triangles at the back it's sideways sideways backwards forwards sideways this should have been second nature to them! Russell are you starting to worry about your position now that results aren't going your way? No why would I be and why would you even ask that question at this stage in the season? Rasmus dragan and I are very much on the same page and they knew exactly what I would bring to the club from the beginning and I am confident I am delivering on that, we have all brought into the bigger picture the vision if you like, we will be there or there abouts at the end of the season and it's certainly not about what league we are in!

We normally just lamely accept our fate..... Tis the English way 😂

Nail on the head, you have to be hard to beat to survive in the premier league and all of Martin's teams have been known for leaking bucket loads of goals... The man has no clue how to build a solid defence or what his best players are to achieve that... So we are doomed basically as we aren't scoring anywhere near enough either

Is anyone actually surprised at how badly we are doing in this league with this style of rigid tactics football? It should be when Martin goes not if.... As if we stick with him when we are relegated all the goodwill towards him for promotion will be (rightly or wrongly) long gone

So why do we fuck around with the ball so much in our own area instead of getting it far away?

But the general consensus on here is no one could keep this team up.... It will be difficult now but not impossible..... Stick with Martin and there's no chance

This is the thing Martin is not using the tactics that will give the best chance of a mediocre group of players finishing 17th.... Martin can't grind out results as we are terrible in defence and don't score enough goals.... He has to go

And how reliable is that sauce? Are we talking HP or asda just essentials?

This is what worries me we are tied to Martin's style both through Martin himself and the players that were bought in because they "enjoy" playing suicide ball.... I'm hoping somehow we transform the team into something half effective but not sure who is capable of that, we do have a championship squad and a championship manager but we should still have more than one bleeding point on the board from 21 available that's derby in their relegation season level bad

This will actually do the most damage in the long run as they will fail to take action.... I can see them not doing anything till January

You could pretty much watch this video as a carbon copy of what will happen against Leicester https://www.facebook.com/share/r/YMBGU5GWXVE4csQ5/

TBF we are better starting as a 10 than including "certain players"

I think they were just looking for a quick fix seen he'd scored a few premier league goals for Sheffield united thought they'd take a punt...... He's looked slow uninterested and argumentative/quick to blame other players.... Doesn't really seem any better an option than Adam Armstrong and that s saying something

Not sure I wanna see Breton Diaz in a saints shirt again he's not even as good as che Adams! He was poor at villa real too did we just take a punt on him cos he was cheap?

Russell Martin?....... 🤔

I can. See that this is probably our strongest team or one that should be the most effective but only if we ditch 200 touch football and play with pace and power, it's worrying that Martin still has no idea what his strongest starting team is!

We probably don't wanna think about this one? Surely last roll of the dice for Martin and a "must win"? 🤞 Leicester are better than us so we will need a "solid" game plan 😂

If the gave him the choice what option do you think he would choose?..... I wonder 🤔

The only thing Russ is learning is how to lose games and turn a lead into a loss in record breaking time by sticking to a unrealistic philosophy, looks like we are sticking with him till the bitter end as now would be the sensible time to get rid, the goodwill towards him will be gone for next season in the championship and where do the club go from there
