Probably something along the lines of we don't try to be clever and we defintely don't try to be Man City.

Don't really think anyone was happy with Jones either. Galling to say, but even Bournemouth can identifiy half decent managers, if they can, why the fuck do we make it so difficult?

He's not a leader in any way shape or form.

SR are idiots and pretty naive as owners go, but surely they are that stupid to tell Martin his job is guaranteed even if we do go down.

Would be amusing if we both ended up relegated come the end of the season. Avoiding each other again.

Be just our luck that we appeal and the red gets overturned.

In form goal scorer?

I'd question that, being competitive does not mean the odd twenty to thirty minutes each match, and that was only in two of the four matches played so far.

Do you really think Archer was the nominated penalty taker? He looked terrified taking that penalty. As for your assumption that we would win the game 1-0, am sorry but that is absolute bollocks. Yes, it was an improvement, but even though we played well for thirty minutes, we still had nothing to show for it.

Agree with that about younger fans. It's making it harder to get tickets in other areas of the ground as quite rightly parents want them to sit and actually see the game. I go with my Dad, who is in his 70's and my 12 year old, and by the time the members window opens, the majority of seats have gone in the family areas.

It makes no sense at all. How long do you give him? Another 6 games? 10 games? If we are favourites for relegation, I'd like to see us at least be competitive and have a go at avoiding the drop. If this continues any longer we will be cut adrift before we know it. There is no in game management from Martin. We are weak as a team. The penalty yesterday was farcical. Absolutely no way should Archer have been given the kick. Penalty takers need to be decided pre match, not during the game. Looked to me like nobody really wanted the responsibility of taking it. What's the point of playing well for 30 minutes if your still getting dicked three nil?

In my opinion it's just soundbites. I don't believe for one moment that he actually thinks he is wrong on anything. He says that because he thinks he has to.

I think we have lost the ability to defend full stop.

Maybe it was me just reading between the lines, buts thats kinda the impression I got.

Penalty takers should be decided in pre match tatical briefs, if we even have them. Martin was alluding to the fact that whoever fancies it at the time takes it. We just have no in game management at all.

Even their mistakes would walk into our starting 11.

Dyche possibly just ahead of Martin in the race to get sacked first

No doubting that he loves the club etc, but there is no way he should be starting games at this level, let alone be captain.

Think you are on your own with that one.

I meant using the money collectively, that 6m could have gone toward buying another player that could have done a job. We've done our usual of spunking money on quantity and not quality.

Our recruitment was shite again. What's the point of signing players like Edwards and Woods? I'd be surprised if they make 6 PL appearences between them. The money wasted there should have been used to buy a proper centre back. Should have been far more ruthless, Stephens, Smallbone, Armstrong and Aribo should all have gone. Nowhere near good enough for the PL. BBD and Archer just felt like panic buys.

The guy is way too far up his own arse to accept that.

Narrative?

I'm sure that there are fans out there who think he deserves to start.

But apparently all the signings we make only join us because of him. Too interested in being best mates with certain players.
