Wolves now 2-1 ahead as well.

Palace beating Villa - if that is the final result we will be starting to get cut adrift unless we pull off a miracle tomorrow.

Blowing smoke up Russell's ass to convince him not to change anything so that Liverpool can help themselves to 3 easy points. Fooling no one Arne except perhaps Martin.!

You'd like to think Blackmore would know that Phil Giles masterminded the rise of Brentford not Ankersen but it seems not.

Some great football and goals there. Maybe Russ should watch these videos, he might learn something though I doubt it.

Have you watched this lad's skills videos - some of the goals he scores are jaw-dropping. He aint spending the winter here playing Russball.

Can see him going to Man Utd in the summer - Wilcox knows him and Taylor needs to keep his future Father-in-Law sweet 🙂

Perfect England senior debut for Taylor - looked very assured with one lovely bit of control when he brought down a dropping ball and quickly laid it off then a super header for the goal. Great experience for the lad.

If the list is short then the standard of football coaches in the world must be extremely poor. The reality is that he can and should be replaced asap. The caveat that needs to be factored in is that SR and the clowns running it will currently be the ones tasked with naming our next manager - maybe it's time Dragan put his foot down and took some advice at a high level for recommendations of a new football director to get this shit show back on the road leading to progress rather than continual regression. The club is crying out for a football man to run it and put the SR charlatans back in their respective boxes.

Not without a fully comprehensive report from the best engineer the AA can put forward and, even then, I'd demand a 10 year warranty covering every part, whistle and bell including normal wear and tear.

Martin should at least be congratulated for managing to con one of the biggest con merchants in football - I give you Rasmus Ankersen. If anyone seriously thinks Russ has a clue what he's trying to do let alone the brains and talent to do it they are deluded. He hides behind this pretence of some alternative possession based football because he knows he is a very limited coach and this crazy mantra is somehow giving him a little talkability and a bit of kudos with those who swallow it. The man is a snake oil salesman but he's proving to be quite a good one judging by the fact that he's still here after the set of results and performances he's presided over so far this season.

Russ wouldn't want him doing that - he should have stopped and played the ball backwards. What's he thinking!

Typically underwhelming then.

It doesn't work like that. If any of those decisions had been different the whole outcome of the pattern of the game would have changed - it wouldn't be 1-0 to us just because they had two goals chalked off and ours was allowed to stand. If their first goal is disallowed Manning doesn't score and have his disallowed, simple as that.

Unfortunately for us Russ doesn't know what a double pivot is - he probably thinks it's a wrestling move.

All very well but wouldn't out possession stats drop like a stone? Asking for a friend.

You're not Rasmus Ankersen are you? I imagine a lot of this in the books he writes.

If you leave a guy in charge who plays a system that is proven beyond doubt not to work but is too pig-headed to change then 10 points seems an ambitious target!

Are you telling me he's smarter than Rasmus? I find that hard to believe.

So you think it's better to waste millions on poor players and managers and oversee a relegation than spend not a single penny (your words) and retain our position in the Premier League? Interesting take on fiscal prudence.

I gave up at the phrase 'Rasmus is Mr Football' which told me the whole thing was complete bullshit. We will not be patronised by this rubbish Kraft so don't insult our intelligence.

Let's be honest here, the amount of attractive football we've played under Martin has been minimal - the vast majority of it has been tedious, boring stodge played at walking pace. There have been huge chunks of meaningless passing sideways and backwards - how often does the fare he serves up get the fans out of their seats? Who can't wait to get to St Marys for the next game - it's more a case of can't wait to get out of St Marys at the end of each game. It's a chore rather than a pleasure and most of the fans are sick to the teeth of it. Time for a change and an end to this failed experiment.

Maybe try to think a tiny bit harder.

Yeah, they'd have to go back to playing normal football rather than having the crap coached out of them by Russell Pep Lite Fucking Martin and his bunch of lapdog assistants. I'm pretty convinced they'd find it easy and very refreshing to go out and enjoy expressing themselves free from the 'to me, to you, backwards sideways, walking football straitjacket' that Martin insists on wrapping them in.

Let me know when we get one and I'm sure we'll stick with him. For now we have a guy in charge hell bent on wrecking our club and pissing off most of the supporters.
