Dunno why you're following me round man, pretty much everyone has said he's been crap. You've just said he'd be good at this level so you're blindly sticking up for him

I'm not, he has been fine not everyone has said he has been crap you are just making stuff up

Not sure who he had a CB at Rangers, but they must have been equally as shit footballers as our 2.

 

Not sure why you would attempt to play his way with Okoli and Souttar?

He only knows how to play one way even if he doesn’t have the players to do it.

We won't get promoted with this defence.

I’m not surprised, Martin struggled with Rangers to win games.. and that was mostly against similar league one/two opposition… I’ll give him a chance, and not jump on him though but I wasn’t pleased with his appointment… that is where I’m at. He needs to prove me wrong, and this game isn’t helping with that 

I was very disappointed with his appointment & after watching this my opinion hasn't changed.

Okoli really is dog muck 

[Fazzer 7]

It will likely be difficult at Meadow lane next week

I would love to watch Okoli play non-league

 

Imagine him trying to pass and control a ball on some of those pitches when he is already like this on a "carpet" lmao

[HankMarvin]

Nearly as many backwards passes as forward 

 

Martins blue army 

[Larry_LCFC]

We desperately need a competent and consistent striker

Translation “I’ve seen two other people say he’s been crap and I can’t formulate my own opinion so I too think he’s been crap”

Stream just died. They're calling it mercy.

[Mark]

No one has shown any urgency to do anything until Aluko just then

Or our forwards 

[JonnyBoy]

Okoli genuinely wouldn’t look out of place In non league 

[Wink84]

This is the first full game ive watched us under Martin. We looked alright in pre season but must be cause it was just highlights.
