Good to see he scored and hope the move works for him, but he just hit it down the middle and the goalie seemed to wave it in!

Bench Diaz, who looks like a fish out of water out wide, and replace him with another striker, who hasn’t/doesn’t play out wide?

Sorry to hear FS, all the best to you and the family.

Do you happen to make Cider on your farm by any chance?

Fernandes.

Crikey, the oracle that is Troy Deeney has spoken, it must be true.

Wouldn’t be against Corberan or Eustace if we got rid of Martin for next season. Don’t see any point bringing them in now.

No, my theory is that it’s the last throws of the game, set piece plans go out the window as a team lobs everyone forward. It’s pretty basic stuff for players to take a bit of responsibility to make sure oppo players are being picked up. It also can’t be much surprise to you, as the guy constantly moaning about how our players are ‘soft’ and ‘son-in-laws’, that they weren’t running around blaming each other. I’m sure you’d find a way to be more lenient if it was Nathan Jones in charge.

After two league starts.

I would like to see him more centrally.

So? If you can’t see the difference between the two already then more fool you.

Agreed, I think there’s something there. Saw someone make a comment that Che would have scored in the same scenario, absolutely laughable

So you genuinely think they were drilled to all camp in the 6 yard box? Behave.

This is what I mean. Im not a zonal marking fan and I’d always leave someone up from a corner, but there’s just no way they’re coaching the team to leave three of their players unmarked on the edge of the box.

Maybe, depends who comes in for him I guess. I think you’ll see more of this now - with PSR making it harder for clubs to spend in the same way, you’ll see clubs trying harder to keep hold of players, which will mean players will be hesitant to sign new deals so they’re not stuck.

Not knocking his character, I just think he probably expected not to be here and probably messed a bit with his head. I’m sure he wouldn’t let us down, but it’s realistic to expect he won’t be 100% focused.

We’ll agree to disagree. I don’t believe there is any manager in world football who is happy to leave three opposition players completely unmarked on the edge of the area from a corner. Looks to me like the players got too caught up in the moment, not one leader on the pitch with a calm head organising anything. If Lallana was still on the pitch, I’d put good money on that not happening.

Absolutely pathetic defending. Say what you like about Martin and his tactics, philosophy etc. but there is absolutely no way he’s instructed the players to defend a corner by sticking everyone in the 6 yard box. Where’s the leaders on the pitch taking responsibility for marking? What are THB, Bednarek, Downes, even Ramsdale doing to organise?

Probably a wasted endeavour, but whilst he’s here let’s get him a song. Needs work; ‘Ohh Tyler Diblings magic, he doesn’t need shin pads He went and tried out Chelsea, came back and said fuck that He scores goals with his left foot, and dribbles with his right And when he plays in red and white, we’ll sing this song all night’ I’ll get my coat.

Hopefully one of the top 4 buy him and loan him back, deciding a season playing regularly in the championship would do him good.

What on earth is he doing here?! No idea how we’ve pulled it off. He’s going to win player of the season and get relegated for a third time in his career.

Would have probably had Les in place of Fernandes, but seems a reasonable selection otherwise. KWP not been at it, probably didn’t expect to be here still so his head must be all over the place.

Least surprising news, if he wanted to do it he’d have done it a while ago. He’ll probably end up leaving in January for £5m.

MLT v ABK? Really?

Impossible to know.
