Do you get a free giant foam hand and a red and white wig to go with it? Must do. I was trying to decide whether it was worse then the "Go Wilde" shirts but even thinking about it made me sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconnect Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Interesting that Wagner was sacked when he's probably done a comparable job to Martin to date.

I don't think he'd go if we fail tonight, but we wouldn't have even needed play offs if we were coached into killing off teams. Sure Martin has made lots of mistakes and he has admitted to making lots this season but the absolute killer game for me was Boro at home where we played very well and created a bucket load of chances but dire finishing meant the three points slipped through our fingers (plus suspect KWP defending of course). Not sure Martin could have done anymore with that particular game. Down to individuals not doing their job in my book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notnowcato Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I don’t get the media love in for Corboran, he’s alright but the media are balls deep on him. He talked a lot of bollox at the end to, “team unable to find any fluidity” No fucking surprise given the 5-4-1 formation he put up, essentially nullifying their best player. He was also schooled by Russell and the staff over both legs. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they havent invested much, but to describe the job hes done as unbelievable is a bit much. They still have most of the squad who were playing for them in the PL a few years ago - Bartley, Diangana, Furlong, Yokuslu, Townsend, Kipre, Phillips, Ajayi etc. They've also added Johnston (probably their best player) The playoffs was probably what was expected of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Norwich, Hull and Middlesbrough all have stronger squads. In terms of squad value, they're 12th in the Championship. I can see the hype myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Brighton are looking elsewhere as, if we don't go up, the last thing we need is another change. I could see a scenario where we don't go up, Brighton want Martin, we get compensation, and adopt something a little different next season to solve some of this year's issues. On one hand there are the quotes of him being young, promising and improving. On the other, the stark financial realities of a results based business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my time following them, just when you think things are harmonious and fine someone throws a bit of a fit and it all falls out. I'm thinking Alan Ball leaving us, Merrington being sacked despite having achieve the season's goal, the Souness tantrum, Pearson not being kept., Koeman moving on, all at times when you thought things were settled at the end of the season. We don't know the set up, and how working relationships have gelled, or how Wilcox fucking off will affect things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
