My Mum always told me not to talk to strangers. Always wondered why now I know it's so they can't take the piss out of me for supporting SFC.

I thought he looked good against Sheff W. Sadly that is the ONLY game I can say that about that I've ever seen him play in. Seems to think he's a Pirlo type tempo-setter 🤡

I think we're probably over-complicating things here (somewhat ironically). He's just plain pony.

I like this one: Don’t they understand they’re following ‘a process’? I shouldn’t laugh given where we are now, but it’s all very predictable. He’s a very limited manager. Not the worst, but a one trick pony who can’t adapt nonetheless.

100% this. Fucking bored of it.

This. I am genuinely staggered by how badly we have been/are being run. Thought we'd at least be competitive in this league. Nope. Total and utter mess.

Parker is a fantastic fit in comparison to this utter bellend. The stats in your post prove it even though you are trying to argue he wouldn't be a good appointment!

Despite my misgivings about this bloke when we appointed him this is the first season in years that I was looking forward to, felt we would be competitive in, were likely to win a lot, had a feeling of optimism about, and anticipated might actually be, you know, enjoyable. Obviously this is all principally down to the fact we are playing at a weaker level but whatever the reason that's how I felt as I'm sure did many others. All of that has been expertly dismantled by this muppet inside 7 games.

We are an expensively (relatively for the division) assembled football team. We are also a complete and utter mess of a football team, chucking in goals you'd expect a sunday pub team to concede, not a supposedly professional one playing at the second highest level of football in this country. Sorry but that is all on him and his wanker 'philosophy' and he can fuck off.

Useless. Totally out of depth. Please fuck off.

Everything we do is so painfully slow. So painful to watch.

He's no midfielder though is he? Nr 10/support striker maybe.

I think I've already reached the resigned acceptance stage I felt under Selles. This is just so unspeakably bad, but I can't even get angry about it because its ALREADY so expected.

Yeah the only difference between this and the last 2 games is the fullbacks are playing more like fullbacks are supposed to play, not fucking 2nd wingers. The hopelessly weak midfield remains though, they are running through us at will, just not into acres of empty space.

Honestly, the way this prick has got us performing far far exceeds my worst nightmares. Didn't even enter my head that we could possibly be anywhere near this bad.

That said KWP keeps popping up in the centre circle!

Fullbacks not marauding forward quite as suicidally as last last week and S'land.

Shouldn't complain I guess but the picture quality is fucking poor on this red button ting.

The more I look at that midfield line up the more terrifying it becomes. And that's before the match has even started.

Cheers for first ever post, and great user name BTW, very apt given our recent performances.

Well, seeing that team sheet has certainly done fuck all to assuage my worries re this manager. Oh well, sit back and watch how it all unfolds I guess................

No. Now where did I put that hilarious Mont Python meme……

Haha, yeah this exactly.

This post makes some valid points but at it's heart is the implication that things will all turn round under Martin, we'll become a solid outfit under him and go on to do well and maybe even win the league. Based on what I have seen so far this season, I don't think any of that will happen. No chance. The only slight hope is we bring in a specialist defensive coach to do what Martin can't whilst he concentrates on doing what he apparently can. Anyway, we are going round in circles here Fabrice. Over and out.

Harwood Bellis was a key player in team that pissed this league last season largely because of its solid defence. He looked like he fitted right in to a comically bad piss weak defence last night. Has he become a shit defender over the close season or is he now playing for a manager that hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing instead of the one he was playing for last season who absolutely did?
