If there aren't better options available who would come here there is something seriously wrong in football.

The moaning tends to mirror the level of performances and results. Give us something to be positive about and we'll respond. Fans forums are the same the world over.

Simple answer. Yes.

Can anyone imagine us beating Spurs away - or anyone else for that matter. Not sure why we are waiting for RMs weird way of playing football to transform us cos it aint happening and the sooner SR come to terms with that the sooner we can be rid of this charlatan.

We need new owners who have at least the semblance of an idea how to run a football club. Unfortunately we're stuck with a bunch of clowns.

Time to simplify things and play fast attacking football with no fear of committing men forward in numbers. Get players receiving the ball between the opposition lines by good movement. Midfielders constantly on the half turn looking to go forward rather than backwards. Crosses, shots and wingers hugging the touchline. Our defence will never be great so accept that and with some luck and Ramsdale performing heroics we'll win more games and at least show some balls and fight instead of this mundane walking football that serves no purpose other than to inflate our possession stats. We know we're probably going down so let's do it with some passion and not with a whimper. We are a better side than being portrayed by the current manager who continues on his own crusade to reinvent football even though he clearly doesn't have the tools or nous to do it.

Yeah and I'm sure the forwards who hardly ever see the ball are really happy that Martin views them as not being brave like the defenders. It's strange that RM advocates possession football yet he's been here for 18 months and still not managed to coach many of our players how to pass the ball.

All good points but it feels like we are banging our collective heads against a brick wall.

Or a Lord perhaps 🙂

It's not that I don't appreciate your efforts but second hand bullshit is still bullshit.

Rasmus is a snake oil salesman. I'm sure many of us have met his like at training courses which cost companies huge amounts and achieve absolutely nothing of value.

Let's face it, we're basically paying this bloke and his so called coaches to ruin our football club. We'd get far more value paying all of them to sit at home and twiddle their thumbs

Money well spent when compared with what SR have spunked away in the transfer market.

On what basis do you assume it's a 1-1 game if the goal we had chalked off is given? It doesn't work like that. Give a goal and the whole complex of the rest of the game plays out totally differently. With 4 points from 11 games and another inept display yesterday maybe the moaners have a massive amount to moan about but we'll wait for your permission to voice our opinions while we meekly watch our mismanaged and poorly coached team churn out this propaganda football week in week out.

If RM continues on the current trajectory there is no way the fans will accept him continuing and being here next season. Can you imagine the gathering outcry week after week as we keep losing!

But surely this runs the risk of damaging our quite brilliant possession stats.

I'm always amazed by how much seemingly intelligent individuals are prepared to pay for this nonsense and bullshit.

We can point to poor refereeing and bad luck as much as we want but it doesn't alter the fact that we are very poorly coached by a guy who is using us to try to re-invent the football wheel.

Agree entirely. When you've proved beyond doubt that you are not as clever a coach as you think you are the sensible option is to strip it all down, keep it simple and go back to the basics. The time has come for Martin to admit he is not some maverick coach with radical ideas - if he was it would have become apparent long before now. The games up, he's been rumbled and needs to face facts.

No matter how you dress it up we let in too many goals and score too few. To have zero shots on target against a very poor Wolves side in a crucial game is not acceptable and shows just how ineffective Russball is. If you can't get a shot on target playing tippy-tappy propaganda football then maybe it's time to take a good long look in the mirror and admit your limitations and accept that you'd be better off employing route one football with a big guy up front, two fast wingers and aim to get the ball forward as fast and as often as possible. It would be less ugly than what we are seeing at the moment and a darn sight more effective.

Unfortunately, led by Rasmus they believe they are really smart guys capable of running a football club so they are not about to bring in and pay a bunch of other people for doing a job they clearly think is well within their wheel-house. Unfortunately we are the ones suffering from their unfound confidence in their own ability.

Unfortunately we are run by SR.

Isn't nearly all the money coming from Dragan's pocket? Or is that not the case?

So at what point will there be a point in sacking a manager who is taking the piss with his vanity project?

I agree to a point but we have to at least try - Martin needs to be sacked today and we must ditch this ridiculous possession based football because it is no more than one man's vanity project and he's proved he cannot make it work.
