Mr X

We haven't exactly flown out the traps today!

We are 100% still going to be in this league next season so there has to be a reaction today and a better performance to show that we can regroup and are capable of improving our weak mentality (and sometimes football) next season.... Hopefully with a proper tactician in charge!

Ain't that the truth 😞 Martin is culpable but questions need to asked about who sanctioned the purchase of sullemana and Ross Stewart? Over 30 million wasted

TBF he is good enough to keep us in this division but certainly not good enough to get us out of it (in an upwards direction) and would have to be replaced immediately in the premier league. Which begs the question what is our ambition? To be a mid table championship side or get back to the promised land?

I wanted to hear Martin say we were second best in every single area on the pitch, the press didn't work the tactics didn't work it was an totally unacceptable performance and I take my share of responsibility for the result! ....... One can dream 😂

All Martin is, is a player relationship coach he likes to be popular and liked by the players in a bid to get good performances but he isn't a tactician of any kind on any level and that's what he's got criticism for at other clubs he is very rigid in his philosophy of the playing from the back press and there's no deviation from that

This is true the press is nowhere near as good lately and we lack players in the romeu wanyama mould that can get stuck in with more aggression

The problem with Russ ball is that any decent team knows that 90% of the time we are in our own half passing in circles! So all they have to do is press harder than us to win possession in our half and they are already in prime position to attack our goal and they haven't even had to start an attack from their half! So risky so crazy unless you have world class players!

Exactly this unfortunately

Because it's the only one he knows and his whole philosophy?

It's a dilemma wether to stick with Martin beyond this season, I think we can assume we won't be going up via the playoffs. We are stuck with this ingrained style that only looks good when it occasionally works against teams that can't press us properly as soon as we are against a team that can do it better we fall apart and we ship goals for fun! I think it's make or break for Russ as it's clear we are going to be even worse next season

We were brave and I'm proud of the boys tonight but we just didn't get the luck! And that's football

It gets worse Martin can do one!

Love to see what crap Martin comes out with! We tried to be brave but too many injuries blah blah blah

Fuck off embarrassing now

Seriously if we could just opt out of the playoffs now that would be the kindest thing for the fans!

A mauling and nothing less than we've deserved

On the bright side at least we will be going into the playoffs on good form

Do we Still think Martin is the man to get us out of this division?

Game over!

Sullemana is certainly no better

I think the half time talks was "ok guys just this once you can abandon the Russ ball!"

This style of "football" wouldn't be quite so insulting if Martin didn't insist on calling it brave! 😂

Just realised ever since Russell Martin got a haircut we've been shit!

We are ridiculously susceptible to the break
