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.

Indeed. Here's my exchange with my Chelsea supporting mate. Sums it up pretty well.

Got no problem with that. The guy has been treated badly by RM and I'm not surprised if he wants out.

But Onuachu just had a bit of fatigue?? RM just bullshits his way through life doesn't he.

Providing Bednarek is back and RM sticks with the same system I'd go for this side - Lumley; KWP, Bree, THB, Bednarek, Manning; Aribo, Downes; Dibling, Fernandes, Archer. I'd have Onuachu in if he's fit but looks like RM has been telling porkies on injuries as usual.

Reading fans seem to think they will be selling their best players this January. Maybe he knows what's on the horizon.

Yep. Brentford are the best example. No big players up top but they've scored lots of goals this season playing direct into the space.

Martin: “The people I bump into in the town and city centre have been amazing, nothing but supportive and understanding of the process of what we’re trying to build.” #saintsfc [amazon] How convenient that he only seems to bump into Gio, Lighthouse or Fabrice. What are the chances.

Possibly but in no way was the sending off (as Martin puts it) a turning point.

To be fair we were 3-1 down before the sending off. What makes you think it wouldn't have finished 5-1 if we still had 11 men?

Stephens really is a thick twat. Comes across as one and plays like one.

If we appointed Ralph tomorrow I'd be delighted. That's how much I can't stand RM.

Unbelievable. Well actually it is believable because it's Martin.

One of their weak points you say. It's quite a list.

Still no chants from the crowd about Martin...until there is I can't see him going anywhere.

It's weird isn't it. We've just lost 5-1 and there's been a number of half decent performances.

Fernandes in the second half?

Ridiculous how he wasn't sacked after the Bournemouth game. Now it's too late for anyone to turn it around (not that I think they will sack him this season)

Tbf Aribo, Manning, Archer, Fernandes, Wood, KWP have all been pretty good today.

They are letting us off the hook a bit here. Should be about 8-1.
