And there we go. Baz will never save a pen.

WTF has happened to Brooke’s? And Adams is looking shite too.

Why the hell has KWP been put on the left FFS?!

That’s unlike you to be condescending. You ok hun?

7 games + the playoffs to prove his value as a something more than an also ran Championship Manager. Not confident to be honest.

Their record in L1 has been very good this season which tends to suggest they’re already at Championship level. Think our 24-25 Championship team will largely consist of players that will more likely shrink away from a charged derby game. I’ve very little confidence that we’ll gain promotion and another season under Martin in the Championship is not one I’m relishing to be honest…can see an even worse season than this one and defeats to Pompey would just be intolerable.

I don’t think using a multitude of different players in unfamiliar positions constitutes a plan B. It just serves to amplify the Managers need to over complicate team selection. As far as Tuesdays game is concerned, I can see another shitshow being served up. I wouldn’t be surprised if the senior players are starting to doubt the system and the younger decent players are starting to grow restless at their lack of a chance in the team even when injuries happen. There’s a lack of sharpness and accuracy now and we’re often relying on Jack Stephens to dictate the flow of the game through midfield, mainly because our actual midfield three are playing like strangers. Will not be surprised at a 1-3 result. Coventry need a win whilst our lot can amble through these last few games thinking a few points will get a playoff place.

Agreed. Very difficult to judge a single player during the shit show our previous season in the Prem turned out to be. Always thought Perraud was no worse than most others in the squad and believe his exclusion by Martin was engineered to get his mate Manning in.

Absolutely this. And if the system is not allowing the quality of Fraser and Brookes to get results, then Edozie and Mara are unlikely to find success either. Match preparation must be either non-existent or largely ineffective as both the midfield three and the forward three looked liked strangers today. That’s on Martin and the coaching staff…perhaps they’ve switched off knowing their boss has buggered off or perhaps Rasmus has returned to swing his dick around Staplewood? 🤔😉

Yep, as I said earlier in the thread, Russball can be easily countered by any standard of team above L2. Does not bode well for the play-offs one iota.

Utter, utter shit. I’m done with Russball. It’s just so easy for any team beyond L1 of whatever ability to defend against. Martin is not the answer whatever the question, but he will survive another season to keep us rooted in the Championship just like Swansea etc etc.

Only four mins of added time?!?!

KWP off for Mara. WTF?!

What a shite corner by Smallbone and shite attacking move by Sulemana.

Stephens is not a LB…not in anyone’s dreams.

Blackburn looking favourites to steal 3 points.

Date I say it. Brave.

We’re going to get caught down their right - Stephens going missing and Bednarek being pulled out of CB to help him out.

Brookes has been shite, but then he can hardly be considered match fit given Russ doesn’t know his best team (whatever that is).

Bet the Blackburn halftime dressing room was a lot more positive than Saints!

Fuck me, thank goodness we’re dragging Blackburn down to our level!

We’ve resorted to defenders trying long balls to our powder puff forwards, bypassing midfield entirely. Completely ineffective of course. Naturally Blackburn close to scoring on the break.

Aribo heads onto the bar - completely soft if that goes in, but at least the ball went forwards!

This is utterly boring stagnant football from Saints.

Front three and midfield three playing like strangers.
