Does anyone trust Martin?

Isn't all the money being spent Dragan's? Serious question as I don't know the answer. My understanding was that SR don't have money other than what Dragan puts in.

I'm not saying we should put up with it. However, all the noises coming out of the club suggest they have decided they'll give him time and won't sack him any time soon. We have to remember we are already paying 3 managers.

Have you been living on the moon? It's a project to get us playing out from the back with possession football. It won't work in a million years but it is a project.

RM has been given a project. They will allow him to continue. I don't like it but that's the way it is.

It's not going to happen.

Unfortunately he does.

Not gonna happen. He'll nor be sacked.

He's here for the duration I'm afraid. JW is not going to sack him.

How many shit goals do we concede just before half time?

Better start and good to get our noses in front.Now stay solid.

RM was full of praise for his performance against Ipswich - on that basis he may start today.

Some sweeping generalisations there plus stuff that you've simply made up.

This is one of the biggest issues and it is staggering that RM can't seem to fix it.

Ipswich should have been 3-0 up at half time - more luck and them missing clear chances than pragmatism.

How about being really radical and playing full backs as full backs and midfielders as midfielders - probably not hipster enough though.

Quick transitions from defence to attack - in your dreams 🙂

I think it means being willing to receive the ball yards from your own goal surrounded by opponents. Doesn't matter if you fuck up and give a goal away as long as you are brave enough to try.

In addition he told the Echo that he was pleased with the way Aribo played!

Triffic! Bare bones innit.

Yeah because there aren't dozens of coaches around who would do a far better job then RM. Not many that could do worse though.

Clutching at straws - every team gets injuries, suspensions and all the other set-backs that happen. We can't blame those things on the mess we are in.

I think it's 3 rather than 4 because I don't believe we're still paying Selles.

If he walks away he misses out on a big pay-off. He won't do that and the big pay-off is the reason we are stuck with him.

Good points. RM knows he is failing and is trying to use the smoke screen that his methods are complicated and hard for the players to learn so it will take time. Quite frankly that is complete bullshit and is fooling very few fans. It's a bit of an insult to be honest as is this rubbish about scar tissue from last season. He's just making excuses and deflecting the flak he's getting because he knows he's been found out and doesn't know what to do next to extract us from the mess he's got us into. We look a shambles all over the pitch and there are no signs that he is capable of changing things to improve us. Unfortunately I think we're stuck with him.
