This performance sums up Martin ball.

 

We look toothless going forward yet look like we’re going to concede every time that they break.

 

Martin can’t set up a team, our players don’t seem to have any shape or creativity.

 

Cowardly football.

You can tell this lot have had two weeks on the training pitch with Brussell 

[Cropwellfox]

That told us a few things we very much suspected 

we don’t have a left back of any quality whatsoever

Bristric’s level is u21 football

Coulibaly is a disgrace 

Martin’s tactics don’t work against league one opposition who are direct, strong and don’t care about wanky principles. 
 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

386 passes though 👏 

[winteriscoming]

Everything has to be 99.9% perfect with Martin ball and yet it won’t register with the twat that we are currently a league 1 team. 
Not prime Barcelona. 
Nothing changes until new owners come in and he fvcks off. 

[cropstonfox]

England playing long balls from pickford. 

Refreshing football

[Tuna]

It's just crap, can't wait for the day he's sacked

[leicesterlad1989]

A team full of "safe" players, playing safe passes side to side without any cutting edge. So exciting. 

[James and his giant peach]

I feel like this season is just going to be a competition to see how many times we can hit a new low. Burton Albion was bad. Oxford was terrible. Nearly losing a 3 goal at Stockport was poor. Drawing against ten man Barnsley wasn't good.

 

But losing 1-0 at Stevenage, yes STEVENAGE in the piss take trophy with an ex winger of ours not good enough to get in the reserves two years ago now taking the piss out of us is probably as low as we have ever been.

sounds like a WW2 SAS operative

[Lineker's Left Foot]

I start with the best intentions to watch the game all day, turn it on, then simply turn it off.  Really not that bothered!!

 

Actually find ‘watching the match’ on this forum thread, more exciting than physically viewing it!!

[sdb]

This is really taking the shine off comfortably beating Fulham U21s ☹️

reckon every lcfc fan whose bothered about winning this comp could fit in a very small room

Its not the comp though, people like myself are looking for drastic improvements, and that half has shown absolutely 0 things have changed,  we cant even keep momentum. 

To watch its so frustrating, he coached all threat and pace out of the side. 

With his procession fetish.

Theres been at least 5 times we have broke forward for a slight overload. To only go foward 10 yards to just turn on the ball and play it back and let them reset. 

Its gutlless, its poor, its boring, its high risk with ZERO reward

Woyo’s lazy pass then, sums him up.

 

One of our worst ever players, that’s some achievement too.

I can’t think of a player I’m less enamoured to see on the team sheet. How on earth did we end up signing him? Even with our appalling recent transfer record he feels a significant margin below what was at the time a requirement of ‘premiership’ standard. There were thousands of potential options… how on earth did they decide that ‘this guy’ was their guy… the one signing… it bewilders me. There must be more to it somehow. Someone must have gotten very illicitly rich by making it happen somehow.

They aren’t letting us down. They are doing what they are told. 

Watson, Carr, Neal and Doyle have all been in promising positions, but lacked that crucial final bit of quality to create a meaningful chance.

 

Now given this forward line is a combination of 2nd/3rd and lower string of our squad, that is perhaps somewhat understandable.

[AKCJ]

Losing against Stevenage to a Wanya Marcel goal is funny.

[Dandy king]

Honestly one of the least joyful halves of football I've ever watched 

[Pliskin]

Going to watch Bake off instead, watch Nigella force large utensils into her mouth.

They are coached to retain the ball at all costs. Creates a risk averse nature up front. Ironic as we go high risk at the back. 
 

once again though, proves you have to do very little to play us. 

[Wortho]

How ****ing bad are we?? 
 

Rhetorical question. Absolute garbage

And we have an decent national team, too   Imagine if they played as badly  

even as I said that, England almost conceded after farting around at the back, too

Every time he comes on or starts a game I have that “huh didn’t know he still played for us” feeling.

Wanya Marcal is a pathetic and crap footballer. Club was right to bin him off. 

Im going off that first half display

[lgfualol]

Russ must be so bored, imagine being a football manager and making the whole thing as boring as possible.
