[The Doctor]

Curtis is a bit of a thug isn't he

[SafewayFox]

I absolutely love JJ!

 

So composed and reads the game so well.

[bluefox1]

Stop f,ing about at the back

[fleshdaddy]

Bristric couldn't hit the side of a Renault Espace! 

[STEVIE B]

Surely the players can work it out for themselves that this fannying around at the back is going to cost us. Just stop doing it, you aren't good enough.

Martin’s football only works if your side is so much better than the other lot that you can get away with it. Anything less than prime Man City-level dominance and it just becomes suicideball, because he refuses to adapt.

He's a relic of a style of football that peaked in 2010 with Barca. A Barca team who the best player who has ever lived in his prime and several others around him also at their prime playing for them. 

 

Now we have this clown trying to copy it with bang average players like Reid etc

Can straight away see why Riis is wanted. We've done so many balls out wide, he'll give us a proper target 

[Always Next Year]

What the fcuk is this that I am watching men and boys comes to mind  has Martin got any idea of how to play attacking football, how many times have we given the ball away in the first 15-20 minutes we’ve not got a fcuking clue the back 4 are even worse than last seasons back 4

[Simmo86]

We look alright going forward, just need to cut out the suicide shit at the back

His shooting has been pretty poor. But its encouraging the way he turns on the ball to give him some space. He did it last game as well. 

[Katy]

Howell needs to stop catching flies and work on his shooting 

[Rubbersoul]

I actually think we have some very good players (at this level) but under this manager we’ll struggle 

[Sly]

Positives are that again Braybrooke, Alves, JJ etc look good. 
 

I’m happy with Thomas at centre back as well. 
 

We do need an end product soon though

What does that even mean? Clown

[Fazzer 7]

If we don't win either of these 2 home games, Martin must go.  There is no point in dragging it out.

Soy Hodgson will drop them if they don't play his fantasy philosophy. 

[HankMarvin]

It’s also too elaborate in the final third pass pass pass pass pass shoot, anyone capable of taking someone on and shooting

Just over complicating league one so much.

Anyone who watched Southampton beyond the odd game where we tore them apart would have known exactly what was coming. For the resources he’s had at his disposal relative to the opposition, Martin is one of the worst managers I’ve ever seen at this level.

Sunday league shite. Nothing bad in terms of his tackles but just constant fouling is annoying and should be punished

Whoever said that we're playing Suicideball in the back with the tippy tappy passes, you are spot-on!

 

On the other hand, we have looked dangerous a few times going forward.

works better with VAR and refs who penalise little pushes

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Will we ever score a goal again

[Clever Fox]

We're are getting too narrow up top when we attack. We need to keep width to stretch their defence.

[Simonb]

Stop messing about at the back and hopefully sharper in attack with Riis then we go up

Most don't see any problems with it

[Katy]

They style of football is so ridiculously pointless. We’re just in constant panic mode.
