He won’t. He’ll stick around until mid season next year and then will get sacked when we’re mid-table. Poor manager being made to look better by good players.

They played 3 lumps at CB to our single lone forward. Is it any wonder we didn’t have more success?

Now the play offs are all but confirmed - who do we want? IMO WBA which’ll mean we’ll need to finish 3rd. ipswich, saints, hull, wba will be the final 4 with Hull going on to win it.

Broken. Very, very broken.

It wouldn’t be hipster enough to play people in their best position.

We’ve started to play more competent teams…

He’ll blame the fans I expect.

If you can show me a single post which suggests THB at right back, Stephen’s at CB playing higher than our midfield and KWP at Left back, I’ll be amazed.

It’s not the football, it’s the stupid team selection by the manager. Stephen’s trying to play a hybrid number 10/Cb role, KWP on the left just both haven’t worked. Stupid experiments.

Millwall have come, defended well, made it hard for us and we don’t have the answers. Far too one dimensional, no plan B, all round just really really shit.

I’m going for him to be sacked this time next year when we’re firmly in the ‘Martin Zone’ of mid-table

Not more defensive, Stephen’s is practically playing as a cm. Still wide open, don’t you worry.

Promotion all together. We’ve been found out, we’re not going up. staying down is probably for the best as we’d get absolutely embarrassed week after week in the PL

Thank christ for that. I can only imagine the state of this forum if you weren't too tight to pay a fiver. Although, to be fair, it would cost you a pretty penny to have a membership for all your accounts.

Assumed when I saw this thread that he had found himself a coaching job. But in true saintsweb fashion, you never fail to amaze.

2-0 for Russell Martin's flat-track bullies.

He's such an unusal player. Lighting quick and could beat anyone in this leauge 1-1. Yet, he likes to slow the play down and get into areas where his pace and skill is nullified. With someone like Adams dropping in and holding the ball up - someone like Sulamana should be licking his lips at the space inbehind - he just doesn't make those runs.

I wonder if there is any chance he could be fit for a cameo in the play-offs? Could be the difference if we can get an hour out of him over 3 games

Given the teams we'll likley face in the play-offs, we'll need to be faultless in those as well.

Its been pretty obvious how to beat us all season - the 'blue print' was set in september. The difference is, we're now playing sides who have the players set up man for man, energy to press us and quality to hurt us on the counter. Last night wasn't a bad day at the office, it'll happen again, especially with the likes of Leicester, Ipswich, Middlesbrough and Leeds still to play. Huddersfield exploited it but just didn't have the quality to maintain it. Bristol City had the energy to exploit it. Hull had the energy and quality to essentially embarrass us.

Looks like its gonna be break, rather than make.

If Ryan Manning is anywhere near a PL side, him saying some nasty words will be the least of our worries

When you take away free kicks and goals from corners, he becomes a slightly more agressive and polished version of Will Smallbone. Very, very average player - massivley overhyped by so many on here.

Niave to think he wont be working on bits behind the scenes at United, whilst on gardening leave. He'll be doing the job in all but having his feet under the desk. The only reason Newcastle wont want him around, is because they wouldn't want him close to the day to day running of the club before shooting off to a rival.

Rest assured, United wont be looking to appoint Russel Martin as manager.
