Looked very good in spells but the inevitable individual mistakes caused by overplaying at the back continue. A drive for show, putt for dough performance.

Just cannot fathom why he persists with two wingers then gets the side to play virtually everything through the middle, losing possession and get caught in transition again and again.

Anyone not fancying the 25 minute walk from Bletchley Station can catch the Bus from there to to MK Dons Stadium. Bletchley Bus Station is just around the back of the Train Station and buses run every 10 mins approx and cost a £2/3 quid. Takes about 5 minutes I think.

Russell Martin's style of football was rumbled ages ago. It's possible to dig out this player or that player out but the bottom line is that most competent sides can nullify it these days by simply conceding possession and wait for the inevitable mistake. Jose Mourinho once said that the team in possession is the team most in danger. Ranieri won us the PL knowing this. Most players at our level won't cover themselves in glory as it inadvertently sets them out to fail. It's not Rocket Science is it?

This will be you in the future chap.

I'm surprised that some are surprised. This is the Russell Martin that had so many fans alarmed just being linked with him. Get used to it as he's shown at his previous clubs that he's happy to play this way until he's sacked.

Russell Martin has not reflected on why he is a crap manager. He's shown at his previous clubs that he's happy to play this calamitous style until he gets sacked. If we'd been playing a Championship Club we'd have lost by four or five today. He talks a good game and there must be a few City supporters feeling conned by him already. Wish to fck that I hadn't bought a season ticket last week.

Continuation from Northampton last week. This Martin ball is a painful watch. This game could go either way but we have far superior players that simply won't do things in one pass if it can be done in two or three. Over complicated nonsense.

Seem to be letting our own kids out on loan and bringing in other(s) that will probably play a very little part in the first team?

Don't entirely disagree but for all that ball possession we only had three shots on target. Could argue that Northampton kept the ball out of the danger areas for very long periods.

Russell Martin claimed "we dominated" through possession but failed to mention that Northampton willingly allowed Leicester to have the ball and virtually controlled most of the game because of it. Ball possession and game control are different things.

Loads of tickets still going in the home areas.

For some it’ll be early days as the excuse for that performance. Sign of things to come and predictable for others. For me we could have won that game playing any system because we have better players. This regurgitated boring chess style football just made things harder than needed. Gonna be a long season.

Like watching Rodgers Ball in our relegation season.

He might not be Paolo Maldini but Luke Thomas is having a decent pre season.

Have to say that I've been one of Russell Martin's biggest critics but have to admit he's got this lot working brilliantly off the ball. Still got this niggling in the back of the head that friendly games mean different things to different teams. Martin is definitely putting his stamp on the group though and time will tell.

Shouldn't think there's a Manager or Coach in all four divisions and any semi-pro side that doesn't say that sort of thing on the first day back training. As always, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

.

Think that everyone needs to get behind this Josh Holland fella, even if his work thus far might suggest he's been parachuted in by King Power.

Interesting how many supporters are now clinging to hope above evidence with Russell Martin. Self-deception is clearly more comforting than self-knowledge. We like to fool ourselves.

Just cancelled my Hospitality renewal because of this appointment so will not have the 7 hour round trip and a fair few shillings to spend in another way.

Would imagine there's a fair few that will regret buying a Season Ticket if this comes to pass. The crafty sods made sure they were all sold before springing this piss take on the fan base.
