Popular Post orangecity23 Posted 5 September Popular Post Posted 5 September It's quite remarkable how Top and Rudkin have managed to be so unaware of Martin's flaws, when he has displayed them in every single job he's had, with no sign of changing or "learning" from his mistakes, for his entire managerial career. Even if they managed to be so completely out of touch with the wider football world where they never take a blind bit of notice of what is going on, at least one of them had to be sat there, in the KP, watching Enzo's Leicester team completely disassemble Brussel's Southampton by easily taking advantage of their blatant weak spots on the counter attack, yet here we are, years later, and the weakness is still as glaring then as it was back then. How does Martin still not twig that his managerial style massively exposes his defence, for a former centre back he seems to have zero idea of what a solid defensive block is. 13
Popular Post Jakemoore Posted 5 September Popular Post Posted 5 September Yeah I’m done with him now. Some outside the club would say we’ve all turned early, but we haven’t. We’ve suffered this for half a decade and it’s ****ing boring now. I don’t want to see another possession obsessed manager in the club for at least the next decade. Give me Sean Dyche right now and I know we’ll be in the PL within 3 years. 5 5

cropstonfox Posted 5 September Posted 5 September Hopefully he's on a trial period before the big contract kicks in.Would make sense When appointing staff with previous failures .Get him gone!
HP1 Posted 5 September Posted 5 September We must be one of the only clubs in world football to smash a team to bits 9-1 on aggregate and yet desperately throw in the kitchen sink to appoint the manager coordinating the absoloute shambles 1
Ian S Posted 5 September Posted 5 September Just listened to his post match interview on RL. I thought the performance had left me speechless but my god this bloke is utterly and totally deluded.Glad Matt Piper called him out politely, my views are not so polite. Surely he can’t survive a defeat at Stockport?.
fox_favourite Posted 5 September Posted 5 September (edited) I don't want to change our manager every 6 months or so. I would like some sort of stability, I want to love the club again and be proud. But Top and duffers employing the wrong person again and again and again. This was a chance to do something different. We have a lot of talented youngsters, and I think a good squad. But the tactics are hindering their development, their ability to express themselves. They all look confused as who is suppose to move where. Bobby was useless. He is too lightweight and gave the ball away countless times. And why the hell are we passing it between keeper and defender, back to keeper then back to defender with the opposition closing us down?!! Who in their right mind thinks that tis a good idea. You are a defender, clear it you idiots!!!! It's thick play and we're heading nowhere other than being one of the dross in this league. A more progressive manager, would have this team firing. I know it's early, but the top 2 is slipping away already. Edited 5 September by fox_favourite 1
Pliskin Posted 5 September Posted 5 September 50 minutes ago, Chelmofox said: He said we lost the game in the first 30 mins. 3 Worst players on the pitch were Souttar, Bobby and Burns. Then says its his fault because he took the experienced players off and thats what changed the game. Just contradicting himself. The way he sets up lost us the game. They knew exactly how to exploit it, and because he is tactically inept, he has no idea how to deal with it and just doubles down with the same shit. But yeah bellend, blame the kids, when the experienced lot never step up. Spot on. 4
Lad1966 Posted 5 September Posted 5 September I never wanted him. I wanted a change in the playing style, however I was willing to give him a chance and hoping that his Rangers experience would make his re think his playing tactics. Clearly this is not happening. Today performance and result is a new low for me and if he’s not sacked anytime soon, I fear there will there will many more lows. 3
Popular Post bovril Posted 5 September Popular Post Posted 5 September (edited) I hate him so much I'm actually starting to love him. The hatred sustains me, no idea what I'm going to do when he's inevitably sacked. Join a proscribed extremist group or something. Or go around shouting at bollards in Dover.

Ian S Posted 5 September Posted 5 September Best case scenario, 1 point from the next 2 games and surely he is a dead man walking? 1

Imagine having a hard on for a manager that was humbled twice by Enzo. The signs that a Martin team can get humiliated at home were there for all to see. Didn’t we have an aggregate of 9-1 that season against them? 1
shen Posted 5 September Posted 5 September (edited) 4 hours ago, SK3Blue said: No accountability, this time it’s inexperience and 3 games in a week. Did someone tell him it’s a 46 game season with cup fixtures or was he expecting to play each team just once. What a Pillock. Throwing the young players, who have been the ones actually showing desire, skill and will to do well, under the bus like that is disgraceful. He should call out the internationals and massively experienced players - and himself - instead. Give pelters to McCarthy, Souttar, Thomas, BDCR, Burns, Riis. Call them out - on Tuesday he rightly praised Page and Braybrooke. Where's the protection now? Edited 5 September by shen 1

We knew three years ago what he was like. 100%. Actually find it nauseating that Rangers say they warned us. Fans have never wanted this loser. We laughed how easy he was to roll over in the championship. We’ve always thought he was a condescending big headed *****. Get him gone. Never wanted him in the first place. 8
Popular Post GrobyLCFC31 Posted 5 September Popular Post Posted 5 September (edited) I can’t get my head round as an ownership your backs are against the wall, you’re coming off the back off the worst season in our history and you need an appointment that’ll reignite the fanbase from kick 1 of day 1, also knowing that if you get it right you’ve got 25,000 fans behind the team, a young team at that that’ll need their support! And instead you appoint the one manager you know that a large majority of fans dislike and don’t want. It’s honestly just baffling!! Edited 5 September by GrobyLCFC31 13 1
