I think this month has been worse for me. We've not thrown a punch in a league we should be dominating all but 2 other teams.. with an exciting squad as well.

I can't help but think that Martin is a SR (Rassmus) masterclass, rather than Wilcox. I suspect SR want to replicate City and as part of that want to replicate their style and I have no doubt Wilcox would have had an input into defining that style but I've absolutely no doubt that we've looked at a spreadsheet and have seen his (Martin's) stats for possession are the highest... completely ignoring that he's achieved the square root of fuck all with it. If that is the case, I have to wonder if Wilcox will be as supportive.. On a side note, how many games did Jones last? Martin must be closing towards it..

This is the biggest thing for me. He's not a long term solution, his record is patchy, at best, in the championship - there is no way this gungho style will last in the PL. It'll be a complete shitshow.

Last chance saloon for me. Bazunu KWP Bednerak THB Manning Charles Downes* Alacaraz Fraser Edozie Adams *if fit. S Armstrong if not.

It all went downhill when we got rejected by Wilcox choice (Enzo at Leicester) and then went back to the trusted spreadsheet. This time the stat we looked for was ball possession %. we need to start to Judge managers on performances not stats ffs.

yep - they look clueless. I don'tt think its lack of effort, its lack of coaching and knowing the role. I could half trst the process when we looked alright going forward.. we don't even look that now.

Bollox. 2 Genuine CB's on the bench - he chose to play a CM in there with no CM's in CM.

Too late. Bednerak should have started.

I bet all those agents queing up on the phone to get their players in here are starting to hang up. Career suicide for anyone to join us atm.

Agreed - he's probably not the one to pin the blame on tbf. It does leave us really unbalanced though. If we play AA there, we have to play Charles and Downes behind him. I still think Alcaraz is a better option in the 10 than AA.

Holgate was shit, I agree, but it was 1 game. Based onn the alternative, we have no option but to play him and charles CDM.

Or just play Charles in there with Alcaraz and Stu Armstrong....

We haven't, its just this dickhead in the managers seat trying to be smart by picking this dross. We coudl make 2 subs and instantly improve the structure of the team

Its been pretty turgid all season, but correct me if i'm wrong, it started going downhill when we played a striker in CM..?

Probably "fucking hell - once again we have noone to pass to.. what do I do"

Dont talk shit - its that helmets fault. Midfield, once again, is a shambles. No movement, no solidity, just 3 aboslutely nothing players in there.

Any update on the greatest period of our history please?

Has to score that ffs

KWP is such a good attacking full back, he carries the ball so well. Absolutely wasted with him fucking about wherever he fancies across the pitch.

Hes a terrible football player.

Not sure were watching the same game. We're a lot more concertaive and balanced, but our midfield is getting bypassed like a hot knife through butter still. Its only a matter of time before they get through

Imo we should just count ourselves to lucky to be in Englands 2nd division!!

Which is why he's not the right long term manager for us - We'd face 'decent opponents' every week should we somehow go up. I genuinely fear if we go up, we might see scorelines more than the 2 9's ralph delivered.

I started to really enjoy hi press conferences - after his outburst Friday, I'm starting to fear it..

Charles is that man - We've been a touch unlucky with injuries to Bednerak and Stephens along with Holgate having an absolute stinker, meaning we've had to put Charles at CB. In hindsight, we shoulda persisted with Holgate, but I think Martin was damned if he did, damned if he didn't there tbf. With Charles and Downes, thats a fairly solid pairing with a more attacking option infront of them. I don't think we need another, unless Downes injury is a really bad one. Again, in hindsight, we really should have taken £10m for Smallbone when we had the chance.
