Saint86 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Suhari said: He has to go now. To lose from being 2-0 up at home, against a relegation rival, is truly abysmal. The substitutions we fucking awful. Get him out. The only thing I will say in his defence is that Taylor basically ensured we had to take off all our key players with the yellow card noncery in the first half. We get the blatant pen on onuachu and we win regardless. We have just been bent over from minute one by the ref. But that's all I am going to offer him. The final goal is a carbon copy of the Ipswich one... It was unforgiveable in that game, it's absolutely unacceptable that it has happened twice.

Daft Kerplunk Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 It cannot be seen where Russ is going to get it right at this level. Ref was incredibly poor and seemingly bias but Martin has made some shocking substitutions and after conceding from a corner in a similar way previously, has either not prepared the players properly or they don’t listen to what he is saying. We also have some shocking players for this level, which is the result of years of bad transfer management of this football club. Sad to say it, but a change is needed unless the board doesn’t care if we are relegated. We are on for the worst ever Premier League total. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it did... again! He just doesn't learn. Agree with all of that MLG - not paying attention to those small but important details at Staplewood has cost him two home wins, 4 points. That’s without the stupid playing out error at Newcastle, Bournemouth tactics with Tyler as lone striker, self-confessed Forest and Brentford tactical disasters. However, Rasmus has also made omnishambles mistakes. Dragan needs an experienced top leagues DoF to pull the strings at SR, be in charge of the SR board with Dragan and get the core football businesses right, starting with Saints. Start with the first teams and then the infrastructure. The player trading smart sheets and moneyball strategies can come again once Saints are re-established as a regular PL outfit again in a few season’s time. Otherwise Rasmus will just keep gambling and hoping to fluke an appointment and the odd transfer. TEDTalks do not make a DoF.

ally_uk Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Needs to go clearly isn't working.. I'm sure he is a good man manager and one of the lads. But we need points on the board. How many times do we have to spell it out! stop trying to emulate Man City we don't have the calibre of players to instill such a style..... Tactictically inept, not pragmatic enough and quite frankly some of the formations and player choices leave alot to be desired.. Must win game against Bournemouth let's leave most our strikers on the bench..... What a banana! 🤣 Get him gone now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SambaMaverick Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Let Lallana take them for Man City, may as well get some value for money out of the bloke! Absolutely indefensible from Martin today, no matter how some on here will try. The bloke is out of his depth in a big way. The substitutes today were just baffling. We are not fit enough and not smart enough - in addition to having a lack of quality in key areas. We need to decide if we want to give it a go or if we want to beat Derby's record, because that is where we are heading. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a tactical set up, not on the players. Imagine bringing Smallbone and Fraser on ahead of Taylor and Lallana. Stackable offences in their own right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Well as I put on the match thread to bring on Smallbone instead of Lallana to steady the ship and lead the players on the pitch was absolutely inexcusable and beyond fkin belief !! I would sack him just for that tbh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry_SFC Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 The longer we leave it the less chance we have of getting in a half decent manager. City away is a write off, so get him gone on Monday, stick a caretaker in charge and aim to have the new man in for the Everton game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mboto Gorge Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) How many times are we continuously saying the same things after a game we’ve lost? That we were doing ok until the subs , he must be the most inept manager we’ve ever had for making game changing subs which help us lose games we had in our grasp. It actually beggars belief, even my 12 year old son could see that you’d put on Taylor before Fraser at full back and lallana before smallbone. If he’s still here by Monday then clearly the club are comfortable with not only being relegated, but with a record low points total. After the all the piss taking at the two 9-0s don’t they think we’ve suffered enough as fans? Edited October 19 by Mboto Gorge 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t sit there and say ‘Rasmus warned me we must win the Leicester game or I’m gone’ tbf. More likely to be Dragan saying it, must be fed up with Rasmus and Russell and really ought to be parting company with both on Monday morning. The player trading has been dreadful again, 5 or 6 too many deals when two more Ramsdale level signings of quality were needed. Better value on PSR too.

Lymington Saint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 First half was OK. We were set up differently and getting the ball forward quicker. Was much better than recently The real problem is game management and RM is clueless. We could all see that the Leicester right winger was causing havoc and the subs made no sense. He clearly doesnt make good decisions during a game and at Premier League level you just have to be able to do this. Expect that he will be gone by Monday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Fucking Semmens again selected this shower. I don’t know why Dragan doesn’t just set fire to tens of millions of pounds on a Scottish island like the KLF did rather than tortuously throw it away constantly via Rasmus, Kraft, Russell Martin and other clueless cretins. If I was him, I’d try for a former top level manager who fancies a director role, bit of overseas travel and understands how medium-large football clubs work, and give Rasmus the heave-ho, if he can.

david in sweden Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Russell Martin will likely get at least one more game. No manager would get sacked for losing away to Man City. and ...what sane person would want to take over a bottom team who will play that fixture next weekend.

LegalEagle Posted October 19 Author Share Posted October 19 We don’t need to wait until Monday. If Martin had any honour he would fall on his sword now. But he doesn’t. He’s a conceited, self satisfied championship level at best, average manager. You could see that last season. He should have been sacked over the summer but instead we bizarrely gave him an extended contract. Cortese knew what to do when he got rid of Nige and replaced him with Poch. No sentimentality. The Board are just as much to blame here. Everyone know that his time is up. We do it now or we wait 6 weeks and do it then when the position will be far worse. Get Potter if they can or even Moyes. Both with PL experience and simply better managers in every department. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
