Precisely why I decided not to bother. The disgusting thing is this isn’t a surprise anymore. Martin should never have been thought of on the shortlist, let alone interviewed and put in charge. His arrogance is going to take us to the edge if he is allowed to continue

Get him gone. Should never have been anywhere near the job in the first place.

Just can’t get motivated today to go. It’s sad to say, but it’s just so predictable. Will be back for Doncaster next week I imagine. Hope we get a result, but feel very disillusioned with things at the moment, despite the young lads doing reasonably well so far.

All I can say is be it Dubai or somewhere else, thank you for taking him off the wage bill. You’ve made a lot of Leicester fans the happiest we’ve been in ages 😂.

Unsponsored version

On international duty

I’ve done both in the last few years. Lisbon is a great city, fantastic food and lots to do. Porto is also a great choice, very different vibe to Lisbon I found. Was due to go in Feb this year but changed it to the May due to the weather amongst a few other things going on. Can be quite rainy around Jan/Feb in Porto. Lisbon in the Feb a few years ago was decent weather, high teens temperatures and sunny, but might’ve been lucky. Malta or Sicily may not be a bad shout for a January break.

The knee jerk decision was appointing this bloke in the first place. A manager 90% of the fans never wanted, who they backed away from going for in the past because of the negative reaction to the mere possibility of him being in contention, let alone at our lowest ebb. Wrong manager, wrong club, wrong time. We have some very good youngsters, and some better experienced pros this time around, but they are being hamstrung and set up to fail by the ineptitude of this ‘manager’. If we do not get it right this season, we are even more financially screwed than we already are, and we’ve gone all in on Russell Martin!! We may be six points off top, five points off autos, but let’s be honest, we look nowhere near capable of either right now. The two victories we’ve had we conceded a hatful of chances, been battered at home by Oxford, outfought by Burton, wasted a gilt edged opportunity today at Barnsley and drawn with two newly promoted sides. Nothing at the minute points to any turnaround. Barnsley pressed us high with ten men because they knew defensively, we’d give them chances, and sure enough, we did and that’s all they needed. We will continue to gift chances every week unless the setup changes, and we all know it won’t with Martin in charge. The only caveat for persisting with him, is I don’t trust the hierarchy to 1) take any accountability for yet another mistake & 2) trust them not to make another one with the next appointment.

Second half was poor after promising first half. Wasted chances. Send Watson back to Brighton. Always a mistake in us playing this way, needed at least a second to put it to bed.

What a shame that would be 🤣

Usually yes. Same for me but only booked last week. Had to collect previously at Old Trafford & London Stadium

Waste of wages unless he can be a competent challenger to McCarthy. If one of the two senior keepers remaining gets injured, just get an emergency loan!

Booked Seville over the weekend for mid October. Flights from Birmingham Mon-Friday. Looking forward to it, been on the list for a while

Only ordered mine at the weekend. If not here by Friday, contact the club and they’ll have one for collection at Barnsley

Probably stop for an hour on the way. Just booked Fox Travel, usually a 45min stop en route. 11am for 12:30 kickoff not too bad I guess. MK they didn’t stop at all on the way.

I think the team might ‘prefer’ a competent manager that doesn’t throw them under the bus when his suicidal tactics lead to a 4-0 home defeat in the 3rd division! As well as a competent owner off the pitch! That performance yesterday deserved an empty stadium by the end. It was the most pathetic display in a litany of pathetic performances over the last three years. The club is doing its utmost to drive fans away. Which other club searches their own fans on entry at home - none that I’ve seen. Doesn’t communicate with the fans, doesn’t take accountability or responsibility, and actively seeks out failure. Why would the majority of the stadium be remotely positive. The club is unrecognisable. We get a full house and a positive stadium once Top & Rudkin go, sadly no sooner than that.

Should never have been interviewed let alone appointed.

I hope to god nobody clapped that off, young players or not! Never in my life have I left a game after an hour, but I couldn’t stomach any more of that shit. Didn’t bother going on Tuesday. Never felt so strongly against a manager as Martin. We all knew what was coming, but I don’t think any of us expected to lose 4-0 at home in this league to anyone. Clearly however we are that bad. I feel for the young lads playing this way, they could learn so much more from a competent manager. The guy is a charlatan of a footballer manager. It’s mad to think he was a centre back, his teams are sieve like defensively. It’s utterly unfathomable that we thought he was the right man going forward. And sadly, we all know that he isn’t going anywhere. I don’t recognise my club anymore, it’s so sad and depressing to watch.

“Not quite what I had in mind” Sums up all our thoughts when we signed him 🤣. Only pity is it’s not permanent

Desperately needed a striker proven in England, and we have. Takes the pressure off Bristric, and should mean an end to Reid or Cullen being put up front. Would’ve been nice to take a risk on an Ormerod type of forward, but we’ve done that with Bristric. Reasonably happy with this. Everything is underwhelming dropping to this level (can’t be bothered to go tonight for example!) but this is where we find ourselves. It’s a decent move for the level we are at

Iorpenda gone to Swansea from Huddersfield. Was on a few fans wish lists over the summer if I remember rightly

An improvement on last week shambles, good performances from the young lads, but unless we get up to speed with the tactics soon, I can’t see how this ends successfully at the moment. Desperately need another striker to give Bristic time to settle - Reid and Cullen certainly don’t fit that role in any form
