“I’m proud of these young boys. They’ve been through a lot and the scars of last season are clear to see. We were outstanding and they continued to follow my instructions despite the difficult atmosphere created by our fans. If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’ll be fine. I’m delighted with how things were going, and was proud of the lads how they reacted after Leeds got their sixth”

You don’t actually need to be that good to do well in this league. Every team that have spanked us this season has had spells in the match where they looked hopeless. It’s a really poor league.

It easy to sort for a competent manager. Unfortunately, we have Russell Martin. Start by getting your best players on the pitch. Alcaraz, S Armstrong and Edozie should all be playing. Get rid of utter shit like Smallbone. Stop needless passes. Countless times yesterday the ball went to a player via another player, when it could have gone from X to Y with one pass. Pointless. If we’re going to play this tippy tappy, then do it fucking quicker. Stop leaving nobody back for attacking corners. Absolute suicide. Most of all, the best thing we can do to help for Saturday would be to sack Russell fucking Martin.

Smallbone was disgraceful yesterday. Utter powderpuff pussy of a player. Get him out.

Talking of Wilcox, I’m yet to see why an average ex PL left winger is seen as some messiah. Blokes proving to be as fucking useless as the rest of them.

Wilcox I assume, as he wanted the Leicester manager originally.

What’s the point? 0-4

Martin is a chancer, fraud, charlatan. Whichever way you want to put it. He’s got to this stage by talking bollocks and pricks like Sport Republic thinking he sounds intelligent.

This, in spades. I am sick to death of our football club being a vanity project for dick heads who aren’t as clever as they think they are.

Should never have been appointed in the first place. Should have gone already.

He’s as bad as Jones. Utter fucking fraud who will say anything to stay in a job.

I suggest you open your eyes. It could and probably should have been 4 or 5 for Boro.

Honestly just sack the stupid cunt now and make him walk home.

Fucking Smallbone. Waste of a shirt.

Absolutely forget about automatic promotion. 8 points off already and conceded 17 goals, it just isn't going to happen. The biggest of fuck ups from Martin, who is squirming because he knows he's already mucked up his big chance at management after *checks notes* finishing mid-table with MK Dons and Swansea.... What a monumental cock up his appointment was, once again. It's a fucking disgrace that we've conceded the most goals in this league after 7 games.

Anyone that doesn't have a fucking football 'philosophy'. Anyone that knows how to win a football match.

Flying up to Newcastle Friday night for this. Can’t wait… 1-0 Boro. Their first win of the season, we’re exactly who you want to be playing in that position. Martin out.

Pound shop Pep can fuck off. Absolutely useless.

Will Smallbone is fucking shit. Stevie Wonder in charge of our contract negotiations.

He’s already lost most of us. The guy is proving that he is an idiot.

Pathetic selection, absolutely ridiculous. Right up there with anything as bad as Jones did.

If Russell Martin can’t work out why our home crowd are emitting ‘negative energy’ then he’s more fucking thick then I thought.

Do any more managers want to fucking gaslight the support? Why do we only ever seem to appoint bellends?

Excruciating press conference. He’s sinking already. We’re a big club in this league who should be aiming for automatics. Can’t help but feel this job is too big for him.

As a football club, we're obsessed with having an 'identity' and thinking we know better then anyone else in the entire country. It goes right back to the times of the 'black box' and other associated nonsense. Reed, Semmens, Ankerson and now Wilcox are all oh so clever. We do it differently, we don't follow we lead, we march on, academy of football yada yada. There's a pungent smell of arrogance that renovates throughout the entire club that we just can't seem to shift. Buy low, sell high, nothing can ever go wrong. Sell your best player? Go to the black box and get the next one off the conveyor belt and show how brilliant we are. Except that next player is fucking Wesley Hoedt. As a football club we have completely lost focus of what's important, and that's winning fucking football matches. Pellegrino, Hughes, Hasenhuttl, Jones, Selles, Martin. Our last 6 managers, and bar RH and to a lesser extent Hughes, a list of complete incompetence and neglect by managing directors that think they're clever and know better. Even the best of that list managed to lose 9-0 not once, but twice. The current mess is a result of a managed decline by narcissistic bellends over a number of years, going right back to when we sacked Puel. As a club, we're getting everything we deserve for thinking we're some football outlier who are leading the blind.
