hypochondriac

Yes he's absolutely terrible but he doesn't seem like the type who thinks he's better than he is. Seems to me like he's aware of his limitations and acts the way he does anyway. Like someone else said he's an idiot.

Rather it happens now than when the window has shut so we can't do anything about it. Maybe it will encourage the club to take a loss on some of these players and just ship them out on loan by any means necessary.

It's not going round in circles. You can't criticise the manager for his awful defence and then refuse to say which players you would have played at the back. Given our lack of defensive options and given that he wanted to play Charles in his proper position, there really weren't a lot of players at all who could have played at centre back or right back for that matter given that he didn't want to play the vast majority of the first team. There were no obvious players that were left out in the defence that didn't play on Saturday. If there had been and he had ignored them then I would say fair enough. Martins job is to win promotion and if I his judgement it would be more beneficial to that by resting Bednarek who has recently returned from injury and a key player like Stephens out of a cup game then I back him with that decision. If you can't put together a coherent defence without either of those two the it just highlights the difficulty that Martin has.

If JWP and Lavia go we will clearly need two players. I'd like to keep Adams if possible and sack off Onuachu and Mara in order to get in a replacement.

Lyanco never strikes me as someone who doesn't try, he's just rubbish. For me I'd go with Perraud and Djenepo. I can't honestly think that McCarthy considers himself a Premier league player given he's been stealing a living.

Same team as last week for me. Give them 45 minutes at least then bring on Adams.

He's shite. I wouldn't waste any more time on him. Ship out him, Adams and Onuachu and get a couple of new attackers.

So you'd have played Bree there? Who would have taken his place at rb?

He didn't say it specifically at Mara but he does mention it as being a good learning opportunity for him so I don't think he was referring to him with his other comments.

Who should he have played at Cb? Given that Bednarek was returning from injury and he obviously didn't want to risk Stephens.

Agree with that. They also didn't help themselves though but you can see why it would be difficult for them. It's the youth players I feel sorry for who will now get no opportunities.

Yes but who else should have played at Cb? Bearing in mind that ABK is injured and we have a game on Saturday and Bednarek was probably still recovering from his injury.

It was good. If we go by the names he didn't mention we can assume he believes the twatty players are: McCarthy Bree Lyanco Perraud Djenepo And maybe Onuachu No surprise really but if the club still has a cancer in it, then they are the cause.

The good news keeps on coming...

I'd send those 4 out on loan at worst. We just need them out of the club.

Bednarek has just come back from injury and will be needed on Saturday and ABK is injured. We don't have anyone else.

Can you just fuck off continually carping on about the manager. These players have been turd no matter who has been in charge.

The larger point to learn is that this system Martin wants us to play requires us to play players who have very specific roles that they are suited for. Without that, it doesn't work and is embarrassing.

OK now I'm getting pissed off. That is beyond pathetic.

We have a number of supposed first team players. It's not Martins fault that some of our reserves are horrendous.

What this highlights is how screwed we are if we have to rely on any of these losers. If jwp and Adams go we best hope we have the replacements jn quickly!

Actually unbelievable that Jones thought fit to bring him in as his statement of intent on the big stage. Moron.

Hardly!

I wouldn't be unhappy if McCarthy, Perraud, Lyanco, Bree, Djenepo and Mara never played for us again.

Yes I could go along with that. Romeu was a huge loss for a few reasons though.
