This was coming from the moment Martin gave that interview about experience.  If he doesn’t win today it’s curtains.  Unfortunately I expect us to scrape through and delay the inevitable.

He won’t get sacked until we’re 3 points off relegation with 5 games left 

[Stuntman_Mike]

So we're in financial mess but... paid money for a defender who isn't on the bench.. turned down big bids for another defender to put on the bench, all for a player hated by the majority who is probably not even match fit?

I’d rather drop players for footballing reasons 

[FrankieADZ]

RM really doesnt help himself at times, players who have wanted out are in the squad again.

[Guppy]

Getting closer to the dream back 5 of McCarthy, Coulibaly, Okoli, Faes, Thomas 🤩🤢

[FoxesFan100]

This isn’t a brilliant squad, and right before the international break. Faes should be nowhere near the first team or club, if we lose this it’ll be a very hard road for Martin to come back from. 
 

Usually in the first to shout for positivity but this just drains me, LT and WF shouldn’t be here or in the first team. LT did alright at CB and was deserving of his place but he’s just not good enough. No idea what McFarlane has done but I thought he was very positive and also Bristric Id have him over BDCR. 

 

Also feel sorry for Niemi as he should be in the squad. 
 

Anyways, fingers crossed for a winning result.

Staggers me how some of you lot can consider yourself supporters, your negativity is part of the problem.

That's quite negative about the fans. You're part of the problem

[Tommy G]

He can’t be any worse than Souttar can he?

 

insert Mick McCarthy gif 

[plinchiestincture]

And now, the end is near

And so I Faes the final curtain

my enemies, will surely cheer

as Luke and I, go for a Burton

We've played a life that's full

Pulled the wool, on every bossman

But more, much more than this

Who gives a toss, man?

 

 

 

[Collymore]

You lied to me
All those times you said you'd stay at Monaco
You lied to me
Yes, I tried, yes, I tried
You lied to me
Even though you know I'd boo for you
You lied to me
Yes, I cried, yes, I cried

Return of the Faes
It is
Return of the Faes
Come on
Return of the Faes
Oh, my God
You know that I'll be back
Here I am

[Zear0]

Need to build a team around Faes. Generational talent.

[Larry_LCFC]

Strangely, im not against Faes starting. He might be a bit of a willy puller but hes probably very capable at this level. Alot will depend on his attitude.

...on the other, he's shit, he thinks we're beneath him and any criticism on here will summon his batshit aunty.

Got the popcorn ready for her post match defence after he gets two yellows for shirt pulls after being well off the pace. Other players fault / crowds fault / clubs fault / Filberts fault, place your bets!

[Simonb]

Genuinely glad the managers bitten the bullet and started Faes. Not a fan but he is currently the best CB we have. Shouldve cashed in on Souttar

 

Assuming Joseph is injured. 

[Will1981]

Wonder if it is a back 5 again with Thomas LCB, Alves LWB, Riis LM and Sammy CF.

He's shit nothing good about him

[Buggsteam]

How does Thomas keep getting picked

100% the club will be pushing this and he’s yielded. 

100% we’ve just appointed another manager with no backbone…… question is, who calls the shots? It’s got to be Rudders?

I don’t really care about Faes being in. Maybe he’s trained well, maybe he’s been in good spirits, maybe he’s well up for it. 
 

I do care that bloody Luke Thomas starts and good players are frozen out. 

I hate that both Faes and Thomas are playing.

 

Been a huge part of our free fall yet still playing a game for us in September 2026 is criminal.

[SafewayFox]

Reid also being the go to substitution, if we’re the chasing the game boils my piss.

[CornwallFox]

Faes is the best centre back at the club. Glad we're using him if we're paying him. 

 

[lookwhaticando]

Must win.  Do or Dai, even. So I’m a little surprised he’s stuck with McCarthy in goal. 

[winteriscoming]

I’d rather have Bristic on the bench than Reid. Can’t understand Martin’s logic. 
Although what chance have you got of understanding his logic when he brings in Faes??
