It seems you agree with me and have added substance to prove that, having a ten year plan, is something only fools would dream up.

Nobody with any nous sets a 10 year plan as it's far too long a time period which is going to result in many imponderables leading to the plan having to be torn up and changed. Might sound clever and indicate SR know what they are doing but quite clearly they don't have a clue and are simply floundering around.

Yeah, my misunderstanding of course 🙂

For those who continually berate our fans as somehow worse than others Man City with all their array of trophies and countless victories were booed from the field last night - let that sink in.

So, assuming your figures are correct, he's amassed a grand total of 7 points from his last 24 league games and you want to keep him on 🙂

If it happens you'll know unless you're off to Mars.

Looks about two weeks away from this picture.

He is not a fan of TP. Even if he scored a hat-trick in 10 minutes he'd still slag him off. Like RM he doesn't take kindly to being proved wrong.

Unless something changes we are headed to break the record lowest points ever. Even with the poor decisions we've seen from SR I find it impossible to believe they would stick with RM if the record is broken. But, if Ankersen has a say I guess it could happen.

Quite happy to hear you list the other factors - be my guest.

One has presided over a record of 4 points from 12 games which the other has not featured in - I know it won't convince you but that's how I see it.

What about any bad manager seeing as that's what he is?

You can't defend the indefensible.

I didn't claim that I did but one thing I am certain of - ABK is doing far less damage to the club than Russell.

It's commonly known as bullshit.

Me too. Just had it now with having to suffer through this ridiculous vanity project which the vast majority know will end in abject failure.

Has Dragan sacked the lot of them yet? I thought he was a successful businessman.

I see Russell was happy with TP's display and admitted he probably deserved a start before now.....no shit Sherlock!

Stick him on gardening leave if we must - he's doing it to ABK! Just admit the error, draw a line, get rid and bring in some fresh ideas.

I kind of get where you are coming from but yesterday was the exception rather than the norm. Most of our play this season has been boring and tedious and I think Tall Paul helped add a different dimension yesterday. Why RM ignored him last season and for most of this is something only he can answer but he seems to have these stubborn traits which cloud his judgement. I and many others on here believe we have a team capable of far more than RM's methods are getting out of them but he has admitted time and again that he has no intention of changing. A good manager will weigh up his options and set up a team to get the maximum out of them. There is no better feeling in football than to see your team go out and put on a performance to be proud of and, having supported the club for 60 years, I've seen plenty of games where we punched way above our weight and used what we had to maximum effect thanks to good management. I'm sorry to say I don't think those sort of performances will happen under RM because he is too set in his one way of playing which, clearly to most of us, doesn't work. We have always been a team that concedes plenty of goals but, on the flip side, we've always been capable of creating and scoring plenty ourselves by getting the ball forward quick and also pressing high up the pitch. I'd love to see those days return but it won't happen under the current manager and his coaches who fall well short of what is needed.

If TP is still with us I reckon he'll score far more goals than Adams managed in the Championship - that's assuming he gets picked which should be a given after the skills he demonstrated yesterday against top quality defenders.

It's not clever or superior and Martin clearly doesn't have anything approaching the skill set to coach it. He is trying to look smart but is making himself look ridiculously stupid. He will never be talented enough to teach a team to play this suicidal football because he clearly doesn't know how to - if he did it would be reflected in a continual improvement in our performances but we just see the same old errors leading to soft goals. His level is the Championship and he should accept that instead of this vanity project which is ruining our football team.

Agree. Sometimes you can clearly see a player thinking 'I should be going long here and clearing the danger' but they've all been brainwashed so they dither about looking for a pass that is either not there or shouldn't be attempted and, by then, the opponents have the sniff of blood in their nostrils and are all over us like a pack of hyenas.

We are continually giving soft goals away by trying to play suicide football from our own six yard box and this tactic is 100% on RM. I couldn't give a monkeys which individual player makes the error leading to a goal because the root cause is with RM and his possession football. This is what most fans are up in arms about. Mistakes will be made and some will lead to goals being conceded but what we are trying to do under Martin is what lemmings do when they see the edge of a cliff.

Yeah...the first international break.
