Exactly. We've all been through poor runs but this is different. The complete delusion from the management who are basically in it for themselves. Why do the players/staff regularly have two days off a week? We are at the lowest ebb and the team is unfit. They should be doing everything possible to turn it around. Lack of effort from them, no wonder the fans are so disgruntled.

I've been a season ticket holder for 20 years, go to 15+ away games most seasons. Anything but a fair weather fan pal. The club have had loads of money out of me. I've had zero interest in going this season, if the club are going to take the piss out of the fans then **** them.

Surprised given it's at 7pm on a Sunday. I gave up my season ticket temporarily this season as I've got a little one on the way very soon. I was planning on going to a fair few home games this side of Christmas but I haven't been to a single one - just not interested in paying to watch us play like shit when I can watch every game at home.

It's taken longer than it should have but I'm sure it'll be pretty toxic if we lose. Certainly if we concede an early goal.

That's what happens when you've been subjected to Russball for the last 16 months.

Read something about how he's got his team doing the basics well and hasn't tried to be too clever. They play a 4-2-3-1 and generally play a low block to be hard to beat, looking to hit teams using transitions. Sounds way too sensible for SR to consider.

Yep. They finished rock bottom with their previous manager, then appointed Matos upon relegation and they absolutely pissed the second division. Now he has them 4th in the Primeira Liga, recently beating Sporting. Looks like he knows how to erase scar tissue!

Songs of praise it is then.

Indeed. Just look at Pochettinos pre-season in 2013. The players absolutely hated it, but it got them incredibly fit and we could press for days. In my eyes the players have it so easy with RM, they're all his mate and there's no accountability what so ever.

Yep and pretty sure the poster has previous for making stuff up.

The process will have worked for Russ. That's great news, he's overachieving!

I've got no issue with going from the championship again, provided they've shown to be a decent manager. RM certainly wasn't a standout when we appointed him, his Swansea team had let in shed loads of goals which their fans warned us about.

Our press is awful but the players are woefully unfit. He doesn't care about anything off the ball apart from as he says "being aggressive" which going by the amount of bookings we've had, means fouling people.

Yep, total shitshow all round.

Yep - absolutely no need to bring the fans into it but he can't help himself. Just does it to make himself feel better. Absolute joker.

He just blamed the fans for the goal, saying we made Lumley go long and give the ball away 😂 also claimed the pitch got too dry and impacted how we pass the ball. Jesus fucking Christ.

Apparently there's a bit of money to spend in January. How about we don't sign anyone and sack Martin? Given we are down - I'd imagine most of the fans would take that scenario.

It feels like we really need someone more ruthless running the show. Yes Martin got us up (just) but all his credit has well and truly gone. As much as Cortese was a twat behind the scenes, he made some very BRAVE decisions that benefitted us massively. SR are a laughing stock right now.

Surely it's time for some sort of reaction from the fans at the Spurs game?

I'm so proud of the players.

That's us down to 10 men then.

I must admit I am a bit surprised our fans (home and away) have been so kind to Martin. Nathan Jones got absolutely berated before he was sacked. Martin has had absolutely nothing. Puel got a lot more abuse for finishing 9th.

He's offside most of the time

We haven't even had a shot OFF target, let alone on. Absolutely horrendous. Can't believe we just carry on accepting this rubbish - both the fans and owners.

Yeah they've known about the strong winds for days now, would be ridiculous to call it off on the morning unless, as you say, something major happens.
