Plus potential managers will look at that and the support they've had in terms of recruitment, then anyone decent will just refuse the job because of it. We need to accept it's not Marti's fault, he's not perfect and needs to drop Thomas ASAP, but no manager has a magic wand for our strikers. Slot has lost four on the bounce in PL, I'm sure they're not going to fire him.

Marti has to dropped him, in each of our 3 losses this season Thomas has made a mistake in the first 5 minutes that's resulted in a goal. Today it would have been 2 goals if it wasn't for Jacob.

So he's not aloud to rotate when we have 3 games in a week? What your saying is he needs to start the same 11 players every single game. That's a great idea when they're all injured in April, and he's forced to play Skipp / Soumare again.

We don't have a points deduction, and we're still better off than Ipswich or Southampton who have signed considerably more players than us.

We'll need to appoint someone from FT or play Football manager because it's not the reality we live in😂.

And don't forget Rangers fans where he needed a police escorts after a draw with Falkirk

Par for the course after the last FT meltdown when we played these and were top of the Championship

Lampard has had 33 games and 11 months to get his ideas across, let's judge Marti after the same period.

A sparewheel is useful and serves a purpose, unfortunately ours don't and are already below the legal tread depth😭

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Having been so anti Cooper at the time of his appointment, I would have kept him now knowing how things have panned out. He has more pedigree than either RVN or Marti in the Championship. It was also a massive mistake to pander to the players who effectively forced Top's hand in sacking him. The players have behaved discracfully and some have effectively stop playing for the shirt since then and are responsible for the toxicity between club and fans.

Daka and Soumare can **** off. If we're desperate for money we could recruit from non league and still get better than these two.

I think Daka, Soumare, Winks leave on frees and reluctantly Ricky P, unless he's prepared to take big wage drop

Apart from ruining Evans potential career if he sinks and doesn't swim.

That's 50% of the squad, at least some will be out of contract soon. So basically what your saying is for Marti to be a decent manager he has about 11 1st team players to chose from that don't make the list and the U18s? I've not formed any strong opinion on Marti either way, other than that he has a very difficult job because of the situation he's inherited and fan expectations. We didn't have that many takers for the job before we appointed him, but if we're giving managers 12 games without significant signings before they're sacked then we'll soon have shortlist of zero.

He is a tactician, but I'm intrigued as to what you think our strengths are

And so has every other manager since he's been at the club and so will the next manager pick an international CB in the Championship. So the FT criteria for a decent manager is someone who doesn't pick Faes🤔

Dropping Okoli for Faes was a huge error IMO and he also needs to drop Thomas because he's been at fault for several goals in our losses.

We're not a big enough club to let those players rot in the reserve until their contracts expire. As fans we need to be realistic, the last 3 managers have all played them with varying degrees of failure, and the next manager will continue to pick them until they leave because some are experienced internationals. Marti has inherited this squad, he's had 3 loan signings to strengthen which arrived at the end of the window. I'm not sure what is expected of him. With the exception of Nelson after 11 games everyone has had a chance to lay claims to a starting spot as he trys to find his best team from a toxic bunch.

We need to drop Faes for Okoli, Thomas for VK, play JJ as a 8, Ramsey at 10 and Ayew as the striker. For all his faults, he's by far the best option we have, and hopefully JJ and Ramsey will run off him. The team have regressed since Okoli, and Ayew have been dropped IMO

Agree, everyone complaining about the team last night, but we have 3 games in a week so he's rotated. With the excemption of Nelson. Everyone has had a chance.

FT keeps calling the managers out, but we've had the same players for the past 2 season of shite under 3 managers and no ones got them to play. They're rotten to the core and the sooner they all ****ing leave the better.

AI is churning out the usual FT response to a Leicester selection 😂 Oh my god, shocking, shit Soumare plays Leicester loose, Faes has shagged Top, Ayew oh ****, 0-10 after 45 minutes. Where's the injured Stephy? Why aren't we playing the U9 striker who scored 70 goals last week?

Still wouldn't score more than 1 with 9 forwards 😂

Yes that's not on Marti though, who's the subject of this post

Were currently in 4th, which IMO is about par for our squad. Considering the players that weren't selected before the window shut and then the transition to our current line up I think so far he's doing what's expected. But without a consistent goalscorer we will struggle to win regardless of the manager
