He should be able to make his own judgement during the game. If he's being told to play out like that, then it's once again all on the utterly inept Martin
PhillippaT Posted 25 August Posted 25 August Not the worst loss we've had this season, so... Onward and upward eh? 2 1

Popular Post CruzNoir Posted 25 August Popular Post Posted 25 August (edited) Wtf is the negativity about? none of you wanted us to win to concentrate on the league, you wanted us to crash out here we are crashing out, but with an actual half decent performance which is what we’ve been at the very least craving!! Make your F’ing mind up ffs much more positive signs from tonight, not perfect, but hopefully something good to take into MK at the weekend Edited 25 August by CruzNoir 5 3

It’s anti-football, it’s making us look like the twats we are. We all knew this would happen and here we ****ing are. Just **** him off. Calm down. We've been excellent tonight and the better team overall. Some really promising football. Scoreline with a freak goal flatters them. Play like this for the next 44 games and we piss league 1.

We were shite against Notts County and we were shite against Burton Albion. We’ve only upped our game tonight because it’s PL opposition and yet we still twat about at the back when we had a good chance of going to pens at the least. Forever shooting ourselves in the foot.

CleudoG Posted 25 August Posted 25 August Really enjoyed the first sixty minutes, much more positive football. Still worries about passing around the back, but felt like the swamp had been drained and the effort was much better. Youngsters look really good, hopefully get the right additions in soon and we may turn it around. 3
Supergray22 Posted 25 August Posted 25 August Well better than expected and we kept going right to the end. Youngsters did well.

funkyrobot Posted 25 August Posted 25 August My main criticism from tonight has been the suicidal playing out from the back. I don’t mind playing with some risk from there but Martin’s style is so risky, so reliant on intricate threaded passes that it’s very likely to end at some point in an error and a goal opportunity. I don’t think you’ll ever see more risk on a pitch than Martin-ball 1

We've done ok but not really threatened and made so many basic errors at the back. So a prem second team against ours? I think the point still stands. Majority of their side starts for most championship sides including the promotion sides
inckley fox Posted 25 August Posted 25 August 2 minutes ago, boosmanana said: Best we've played in months. Just a shame it's against a much better team in the cup and they've scored an absolute worldie to make the scoreline look much less competitive than the game was. We didn't look like scoring very often though, did we? And they did, despite looking like they resented having had to turn up.

fox_favourite Posted 25 August Posted 25 August (edited) At least we didn't do a Watford or a Brum and get humiliated. 1st half was very good I thought 2nd, poor. But some positives to take and I can accept losing a bit more as I think we had a go. Yes, some bozo moments but better. Edited 25 August by fox_favourite
sm1 Posted 25 August Posted 25 August Subs killed us. We needed energy, but guys like Cullen and Burns just sapped the energy by giving the ball away. Page was running on fumes at the end.

And they did, despite looking like they resented having had to turn up. People have been whinging (quite rightly) and throwing round xG stats as a negative. Tonight against PL opposition, 2 tiers above us we've had more possession, a higher xG, more shots and more touches in the oppositions box. Edited 25 August by boosmanana . 2 2

Martin will just play his Southampton mates. He's never going to do what's best for us only what's best for him. Strangely he doesn't seem to realise that he's doing his "career" no favours by having that attitude.
