What? Are you on about Barnsley? Played well? Are you blind? He was dreadful for a few reasons….. Constantly out of position, got caught numerous times having to run back to his goal. Decided to dive instead of pass the ball ton put us 0-2 up… Gave away countless fouls in harmful areas of the pitch. Miss controlled more or less every pass into him. Gave away so many passes, easy passes. And got caught in possession countless times…. He didn’t play well at all, he can’t do the basics right.

I do agree he will get offers in the championship, but we just dither, you could easily flip the scenario……. We’re looking to sell the club, so there’s potential fresh investment in the future and a chance this all get sorted out. Footballs a short career, and we’re still a massive prospect regardless of our current predicament. I’d be willing to place a bet on that if we backed Martin today, and offered the job to Challinor he would take it.

He brings it upon himself, you’re talking about a bloke who believes in his own bullshit so much, that he’s completely tone deaf to everything around him. Things a guy who sits there essentially blaming everyone else, but he’s won 4 games in 3 years. I genuinely don’t like the bloke he’s got narcissistic traits in the way he conducts himself, the only person who can change his fortunes is Martin, but that’s to his devotion to his ideology he won’t. He’s had countless failures yet still persists peddling his product as if it will definitely work and we’re all impatient. The only way to get rid of him, is make it so uncomfortable for him, the a decision has to be made….. this is professional sports, if you don’t like it, don’t go into it…. I don’t feel sorry for him at all, he has made his bed, and he can lay in it. It’s a hostile environment that if you’ve not got the backbone to deal with it, you’ll be chewed up and spat out.

What’s delusional is our board room….. why are they going for Martin? It’s not delusion at all, do you really think and average lower league manager would turn down the chance to come here? Example being Dave Challinor? Of course he would, he’d be paid far more than he could imagine, regardless of what’s happening off the field, allegedly Martin is the highest paid manager in the entire EFL. If we targeted the right kind of managers, they would come.

This is a stupid theory, not many would turn it down if we target the right manager. I’m pretty sure if you offered the job to Dave Challinor he would take it.

This.

We should be top.

We’re not going to progress as a club until we’ve been purchased.

We should have been 0-3 up at half time, I guess it depends how you look at it, but I was fuming at half time, because I could see what was going to happen. It was the fact that we’re what, six games in? and Martin has yet to learn anything about this squad……. I still maintain the good football is more instinctive than coached.

When Rudkin is probably the one making the decision, is it at all surprising they’re all shit. Maresca came recommended which they took a punt on.

Absolutely agree….. I too was frustrated at half time for exactly the same reasons…. And you knew full well, we were going to concede, it was so obvious. Someone raised the point “it’s hard to play against 10 men”…. Only when it’s into the final third of the game so to speak, and it’s a lot easier to lock down….. with more then an hour of play left, that shouldn’t be happening….. and worse still, they had more chances and looked more dangerous in the second half with ten men………….its just even more evidence that Martin isn’t a coach, he’s an ideologist, because any average coach would have been able to capitalise on that red card….. we should have been 0-3 up at half time, and we weren’t….. we just played with zero urgency, no directness at all and couldn’t grip a team down ten men….. there’s so much wrong with that’s happening, like Thomas. He was abhorrent this afternoon, I lost count of how many times he miss controlled the football, was beaten in behind (by a team with ten men) and lost possession…. He is an atrocious footballer and needs leaving out of the squad all together. We may be in a mess behind the scenes, but Lord almighty above, we’re not this bad…….. that team on paper wins this league, but we’ve employed a man so blinded by his ego, that we can barely function……… It’s utterly horrible.

Burns is awful, I’ll drive him back to Ipswich. Maybe he can fill one of Ed Sheeran support acts…..

He’s crap.

We will sit there dithering whilst Challinor is out of work, and then sack him once he’s employed, by a Championship club no doubt.

His post match comments are just wild…… in what planet is a 1-1 draw V 10 man Barnsley who have been slapped around for the last three games a “step in the right direction”……. Its infuriating…..as @Vacamion correctly says, we could all see this coming a mile off.

Not sacking would have more disastrous long term implications than sacking him would.

I was expecting us to be top, and comfortably unbeaten at this stage. The reason we aren’t, is because of Brussel…… so the answer is clear.

I mean, we probably can…….

When people say what’s the lowest point for this club?

Challinor has to come in.

I thought today really showed Braybrook up, he’s looked so poor, but I maintain it’s mostly Martin’s shocking coaching that’s the cause.

I sure hope there was booing and anti Martin chants.

No returning from this now, he’s got to be done.

What’s to say….. we’ve said it all……. There’s simply no defending him, it was just another example of how poor of a coach he is, and how he is merely an ideologist and not a coach……. Just another unacceptable afternoon of football.

You could see this coming a mile off….
