Lee On Solent Saint

Ok. So we go down under Martin because SR think he's fuckin God or something. Back in the Championship, are they that stupid to think the fan base are still going to want Martin to be here? If results are still the same in say December or January, St Mary's is going to be empty save for all the Martin fanboys. Season ticket sells will be absolutely shite.

Talking to a Palace fan during their game with Forest last night at Gatwick, he reckons they're going down. For some bizarre reason he thinks we are going to be ok as we score goals!

If that happens, St Mary's will be half empty match days. Never mind Manchester City, we will be like Stoke City.

Why is it logical to wait? You have two games we should be looking at to pick up points, like Leicester. A change needs to be made.

I meant to City it could be, not us.

Goal difference could be crucial come the end of the season. This has the potential to be messy.

On here for sure, not sure about the fans as a whole. Where I was sat on Saturday there wasn't too much hate directed at Martin. I think he was fortunate that the ref was so shite, it deflected the crowd reaction away from him.

Pantomime

He cannot and should not be in charge for that game.

If he is still here after relegating us, SR are even bigger twats than I had them down for. The guy is splitting the fan base. By the end of the season, St Marys will be full of away fans only.

Fuckin statistics again. Football is played on a green pitch, not a spreadsheet. The best way to defend is to ensure that you don't leave anybody free, every player should be marking another. None of this zonal bolliocks. Leave a player between the halfway line and penalty box, someone with a bit of speed who can run onto any clearences, give the opposition something to think about. Don't care if its not fashionable, its effective.

Don't forger getting behind projects etc too.

It wasn't just happening for the goalscoring corner

No really different to taking off your best player and replacing him with Smallbone.

So, you can hear what Martin says can you? From the touchline?

The only reason we throw points away in the last seconds of injury time is because tactially we aren't set up right. Defending set pieces, especially corners this season as been pathetic. The blame lies squarely with Martin when it comes to tactial set up. You have to be on the wind up if you think any differently.

But if your saying Martin is making them better players, why would they want to leave? If the players love Martin so much, why would anyone of them want to leave? Your painting Martin to look like some kind of footballing god/genius.

These exiciting players won't be here next season if we get relegated. Or do you think they are going to stay in the Championship because of Martin?

But fouls for shirt pulls are given on every other area of the pitch. Wasn't Dibling booked today for tugging back one of their's?

Why was Smallbone the right player to bring on? He can't run or tackle. Absolute waste.

I don't. He managed best part of 60 minutes without committing another foul. Showed a lot of maturity.

Fuck's sake, the whole team were shit at Bournemouth, if you based that concept we wouldn't have fielded a team today.

Do you not think the tide turning was a direct result of taking Fernades off and bringing on Smallbone?

The ref was shite, but he wasn't on the fix. Just incompetent.

I don't think I've disliked a Saints manager as much as Martin. Even Branfoot wasn't as bad as this twat.
