Saint Matty 76

Yeah. It’s not just on here though, it’s the same with some of the guys around me in the Northam who are just so fed up of the decline over the past seven years that I think they’re being a bit OTT on Martin. Not saying I particularly blame anyone for what it’s worth, the fall-off has been extreme and the home form in particular is embarrassing.

I do find it a bit baffling how much people seem to dislike him on here. Lots to be disappointed about so far this season but there definitely seems to be more "screw him" energy than hope and belief we can improve within this style, which I don't see why we can't. Miles of room for improvement and we're 1 point off 3rd, yet a large majority of people on here called people hoping for promotion crazy? His press conferences are a bit iffy but he's literally being asked the questions to warrant those responses, that's something that people seem to forget when we're just reading his words.

Watching it back and the first really is peak Bazunu Not quite enough to be considered a howler but the majority of keepers probably just save it, nowhere near good enough and I’m truly fed up of him at this point

hahahahaha fair enough

You’re just deluded at this point mate, that or you just love arguing against the (obvious) consensus

Every fucking week

Please not Mason Holgate please not Mason Holgate

I am, of course I am! I’ve supported RM and am desperate for him to succeed. It’s just an honest reaction.

Quality finish that is, did not think he had that in him whatsoever. Another truly mediocre performance if we're being honest, albeit improved in the 2nd half. Happily take these for now but really need to improve!

hahahhaa yessssss

We definitely look better with Che’s link up.

Happy to see Edozie again. Fingers crossed for a big impact.

Wow. Great effort from Alcaraz and a brilliant save.

Another shit half where we look no better than midtable Championship opposition, in fact I’d say we looked worse. KWP the only positive. Need to get Sulemana involved more and really disappointed with Alcaraz yet again. The experiment with him up top is not working for me. Che the obvious change.

Whilst Manning is really poor, the even worse reality is that it’ll probably be Holgate in for him with KWP switching to the left for Preston.

Well if they keep attacking down Manning’s side then it won’t be pretty.

😆 All we can ask is that he’s learning, hopefully.

Brilliant goal. KWP is really a level above.

Mental that we were willing to spend about £25m on Delap last year and instead he’s done nothing on loan at Stoke, Preston and Hull. Actually not that mental considering we spent a majority of that on Onuachu in the end.

Did start a couple of minutes late. No commentary and horrendous quality today, proper Championship afternoon.

It really is slim pickings when the only thing in his defence is one top save he made against Bruno Fernandes in over a year.

Bit of a stupid interview from Downes, who was actually our best player on the day by a mile. I think I said it on the matchday thread but in the 20 years I've been going to football, Rotherham are the worst team I have ever seen us play and yet we could all see us sleepwalking into a draw in that second half. Obviously a lot of the negativity in the crowd comes from experiences pre-dating this season, but I think it's a pretty poor look to take a swipe at the fans who have every right to be frustrated with both what we've seen at home so far, and Saturday in particular, which we may win "99 times out of 100", but we didn't.

Statistically the worst the PL has ever seen. Currently the worst in the Championship. Whether you want to believe statistics or not, it’s grim reading. He is not good enough. Great with his feet, terrible goalkeeper.

Do we continue thinking stats just “don’t matter”?

Nothing short of complacent. Should’ve been over by half time. Not seen it a second time but should Bazunu be getting beat like that? I don’t know. Shocking result. Hands down the worst team I’ve seen come to St Mary’s in the 20 years I’ve been going games.
