I’m behind Russell Martin.
We’ve been ****ed around for the last few seasons with no consistency, constantly changing managers and a team that seemed to have completely lost its spirit. Too many players who looked like they’d checked out, with no real leaders.
I actually liked what Enzo was building. He gave us an identity and ticked a lot of boxes, but when he left, he left us in a pretty shit position at the worst possible time. The managerial choices since haven’t helped either.
I don’t particularly like Russell’s style either. I’d much rather see old school, fast, aggressive, get it out wide and get crosses in. But football has moved on.
I actually like this group now and think Russell is building a better team spirit. We need stability. Changing manager again now would just be more of the same.
Give him time, give the team time. I genuinely think we can go up this season and be challenging at the top/play-offs next year. Just be patient for once.
