WTF?!! He's got a centre back who won the title last year alongside a polish international with 56 caps and a 150+ premier league apperances, the best right back in the division, probably the best holding midfielder in the division and the second highest goalscorer who also has the most goal contributions in the division. Then he's got really strong squad players who would get into a lot of the teams in the league perhaps some premier leagues ones. The fact that those players have conceded more goals than a lot of teams in the bottom half of the table, which is what has cost us promotion, says more about his ability to stop his teams conceding than the players he's got. Of all the defences you can hridave of Martin not having the tools to succeed is ridiculous.

Heroic failure as usual wasn’t it

We’ve got a good chance under Martin

Despite always having it in us that’s one record that’s always evaded us
-
fucking obsessed. It's very weird.

Mid table Championship mediocrity awaits next year

Story of our history. IN my lifetime Peak times 79-85 - runners up and unlucky losers 88-91 - great football but sold all the family silver 2001-04 - Plucky losers in the FA Cup final 2013-17 - Blew it in Europe, plucky cup final losers again Lower league titles League one came second in a one horse race. Championship bottled the title after a 5 point lead -
I think aside from him you have to go back to David Armstrong for anyone that’s been consistently good. Jay Rodriguez was our record signing for a couple of of months before we signed Ramirez and was decent until his injury. He’s the only one I can think of.

“Put me in a box and I’ll pick dem locks 100 time” 22 championship teams confirm this statement to be incorrect

Well your argument was that Adkins was some genius long term appointment when he achieved what what was expected of him then overachieved. Quite why you’re pretending that no one else other than you thinks Wilcox hired Martin to get promotion is a bit weird. The main point being Adkins had already done what he was hired to do, Martin hasn’t got anywhere near it
-
Incorrect. He hired Adkins to get us out of league one. He had done that before and did what was expected of him. In the championship No one at the club expected promotion immediately but expected us to build for promotion the following season so When we made an unbelievable start to life in the championship he kept him on and it was expected that wed go up that season. when we had a wobble toward the end of the season he tried to fire him twice, the second time was after we lost at home to Reading which effectively cost us the league. we went up anyway and when we got to the premier league Cortese first sounded out Di Matteo for the managers job then Pochetino who he appointed. So not quite the genius long term appointment making it out to be.

Ipswich now need 4 points from two games against team with nothing to play for, one of them already relegated. Bearing in mind a Leeds win is virtually guarenteed next saturday they are under pressure to get a result at Cov on tuesday night. Lose that and they might miss out on goal difference.

he clearly has talent, remember that Leeds pass!

Don’t worry lads we’ll get a reaction at Leeds

Was it one of those polite don’t talk to me smiles that people give when they really don’t want to engage with you?

If I remember rightly that was the last home game of the season and the last game the Milton was a terrace. They’d already converted the archers the summer before and given the away fans the whole end which meant that the away fans always seemed a lot louder than us. Best thing they did was give it back to us.

I don’t want to say too much as I don’t want to alert the old bill but if you see 100 lunatics dressed like this on play off final day don’t be surprised if someone tells you it’s the DEF going undercover
-
4-2-4 pal lets activate Nichol mode des boys will play let dey r on cheat mode bro
-
A win for Ipswich tomorrow at Hull and wba are basically there.
-
We can’t as neither of us will finish below 4th
-
So saints and Leeds in the play offs both going into it in terrible form. Odds on us both losing in the semi finals must be pretty high
-
Looking forward to watching this now. It's fantastic his farewell tour is going so badly. Of course they'll still make him out to be some sort of genius despite winning the league the same amount of times as Howard WIlkinson and as many league cups as Martin O'Neill.

Remember that shite adidas kit we had with gold badge and sponsor, you could buy the exact same shirt without the badges on for about £15 a shirt off a kids football suppliers website. A brilliant design as the asian market love all red shirts was the mantra 🤣
-
Yes he did and mattresses I believe his banning of the press was almost as funny as going back to them with him tail between his legs when they would use the clubs name referring to us as south coast club. Plus a sponsorship deal with the biggest recruitment company in chillworth was as hipster as it comes
