Really difficult to slag the manager when you’re trying to get behind the team. Hopefully we win tomorrow. But if it’s more of the same, I think the crowd will turn on the manager.

Disagree Farmer. I don’t think Martin is getting a fraction of the best from the team. It wouldn’t be difficult for anyone new to improve.

All the season ticket holders who sit near me all think he’s an onion. Head scratching every game.

It is the way we play it. Bit different than Ajax of the 70s, Barcelona or Man City.

Any coach that teaches the kids to kick with both feet is alright by me. Makes my blood boil watching pros who can only use one foot.

They’re in their twenties now Ted. Think I’ve gone past that stage 😂

Glad I had daughters. Dropped them off at dancing and went back to pick them up about 4 hours later. Absolute piece of piss.

Good point well made.

Probably being discussed by a couple of hipsters with beards who vape like cunts. Pricks probably go fucking skateboarding at the weekend.

This ‘right way’ of playing is like The Emperor’s New Clothes. Total bullshit.

I think Cooper will have the tactical nous to outdo Martin. It’s not like they won’t know how we’ll play. We won’t win. Just like we won’t win any other league game playing the Martin version of PepBall. I’ll be in my seat, and once again me and everyone around me will be moaning at how slow and predictable we are. Absolute fucking joke of a club.

Dragan is going to lose a shitload of money because of the board’s procrastination. He can afford it though. It’s us lot that have supported the club all our lives that will have to live with it. Sports Republic - a lesson in bullshit and incompetence.

Think the last part of The Guardian’s piece summed it up. The refusal to change tactics is for the manager’s benefit, not the club’s.

He’s won at least one premier league match, that makes him better than Martin.

Hughes did a good job keeping us up in his first season.

We’ll probably all find out. Game on Saturday.

8th charity match Russell has been involved in this season then.

He’s done a fucking good job of finding them to be fair.

Option 2 just looks like indecision. Option 3 is relegation.

I don’t get the Trent love-in. He does knock a decent ball in time for time granted, but he gives it away a hell of a lot and can’t defend for toffee. Him and Bellingham were getting on my tits yesterday, trying loads of fancy flicks as if they were the Harlem Globetrotters. None of them came off.

You’re speaking my language. It’s as if players from yesteryear like Moore, Charlton, Greaves, Peters, Keegan, Robson and Gazza were nothing but long-ball merchants. Overload the midfield, low block, high block, recycle, transition - what a load of fucking shite. I’m 54 and preferred the game 25 years ago to the tactical bore fest it is now.

Is this another game of 3-2-1. I see rustling leaves. Is Russell leaving or have I won Dusty Bin?

Does he play possession-based football?

See Carsley thinks you can play the game without a centre-forward as well. With similar results. Coaches trying to reinvent the game. Clever fuckers aren’t they.

That David Moyes is a fucking good manager.
