dannythefox Posted 22 August Posted 22 August Two games in and I don’t want to go next week. It’s nearly impossible what we’ve done in the last 3/4 seasons it’s just been like a lead balloon. The sale can’t come quick enough
Dames Posted 22 August Posted 22 August 28 minutes ago, damolcfc said: Martin just threw his players under the bus in that interview on RL 🤔 Sounded that way 2 league games into his reign and he is already emulating the absolute worse of Brendan Rodgers. Its never been more over. 1
FoxTimmy2 Posted 22 August Posted 22 August Here's my predicition: We're going to continue having very high possession. We'll do **** all with it, as most of it is side-ways between the CBs and back. We'll continue to lose.
phoneticerror Posted 22 August Posted 22 August I’m not in the Martin Out camp yet, but starting McCarthy and Thomas again, not subbing either at half time yet taking Alves off so early was absurd. 1
Philkeavo Posted 22 August Posted 22 August (edited) RM’s post match interview on Radio Leicester was a painful listen. This guy is not going to change is he. This is as bad as I can remember, it’s the lowest our club has ever been and the really awful thing is I don’t think we’re anywhere close to rock bottom yet. Edited 22 August by Philkeavo 1
Joefox Posted 22 August Posted 22 August We need to rectify the managerial situation immediately, we are going nowhere with this guy. I mean can this club sink any lower?
Chelmofox Posted 22 August Posted 22 August Russell Martins last 20 league games: 2 wins 6 draws 12 losses He has to understand, the HE is the problem.
HankMarvin Posted 22 August Posted 22 August this from 2 weeks ago first two minutes essentially say he passed for passing sake will have learned his lesson from Rangers and being stubborn
jimsmallman Posted 22 August Posted 22 August If he did throw the players under the bus in his interview, what else is he supposed to do? Yes, his management is crap. But the players are bloody awful and one got stupidly sent off, while the defense continues to play like they’ve never met each other. Am interested to hear what he said. Hopefully be protected the young lads a bit. He can still do one. 2

Its absolutely beyond me how anyone who even has the slightest idea about football could expect any different! 2
ForeverandEver Posted 22 August Posted 22 August Nigel Pearson used to tell us in interviews that there was squad imbalances and they were working on this which used to be refreshing. Martin O’Neill also very honest in his assessment. Haven’t heard his interview but perhaps not as refreshing.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 22 August Posted 22 August The two mates of his he signed in McCarthy and Cullen look absolute shite as well, I can't cope with all this strategic and sporting alignment and excellence 1

Mark_w Posted 22 August Posted 22 August He didn't really throw the players under the bus at all, and he did accept some degree of responsibility (you can hear it on the BBC article). Don't get me wrong I think his football's tedious and that based on his track record it's only a matter of time until he starts blaming everyone else, but I don't think he did do that here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c6p30kdv5041t

TheGoldenGod Posted 22 August Posted 22 August "Self preservation mode" mentioned again already for us....a Martin classic!!!!

Mike1983 Posted 22 August Posted 22 August I’d normally laugh at anyone calling for a manager’s head this soon, but this isn’t exactly uncharted territory. This is Russball to a tee. His previous sides played the same way, produced the same stats and served up the same shite - usually with considerably more resources than the opposition 1
splinterdream Posted 22 August Posted 22 August (edited) I am very worried. Burton just looked better than us, it looked men against boys. It is abundantly clear, if you want to play this style, you need certain players with certain abilities in every part of of the pitch. Look at Enzo's system, when we lost Ricardo, and replaced him with hamza, the whole system fell apart. As Pipes said, we are 4/5 players short of playing this style, and with what we have, can we play in any other way? Very worrying indeed. I want to add, I don't think this is Martin's fault. This is the way he is employed to set us up, but he hasn't been given enough. Skipp, Faes, Okoli, Thomas, Soutar, possibly hamza should all be gone by now. Tbf today I thought hamza looked okay, but we need these high wage players gone Edited 22 August by splinterdream
ramadaone Posted 22 August Posted 22 August 1 hour ago, Pita said: If he’s sacked Rudkin will only bring a manager who will play the same style of crap Hate to defend JR but this is firmly on Top's shoulders Brussel has tried twice before to get the job and JR persuaded Top to not even interview him This time with very few other creditable alternatives Top managed to get his man 2
