Are we ever going to get a clean sheet ever again?

 

Unlikely under RM.

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Anyone done the math on what this manager will cost us in a severance package to add to what the rest had?

[Saint_clark]

The boos start after we give it away again and nearly concede.

[Southner]

This is insane 

[OttawaSaint]

Are we actively trying to lose?

Passing ball to other team.

Goalie who would struggle to save a word document let alone a goal.

Midfield about as toothless as a Portsmouth street.

Forwards about as accurate as a weather forecast.

There is plenty in the bank after the summer.

[stknowle]

Honestly, the way this prick has got us performing far far exceeds my worst nightmares. Didn't even enter my head that we could possibly be anywhere near this bad.

[Sheaf Saint]

Wouldn't bet against another Ipswich goal before HT.

Christ, we tried to give them another one with more fucking suicidal pissing around with it at the back.

I'm sure Martin will come out and say he's proud of the players and they did everything he told them to.

Fuck off.

Boos ringing round the ground as Saints again play themselves into trouble. Could get nasty.

Needs to get nasty, it’s awful tactics, all the opposition teams know to high press us as we’re 100% playing out from the back and they’re looking for the mistake.

It has to stop, or at least, not be f****ng predictable!

[Saint_clark]

I assume we're appealing Sulemanas red given that he's on the bench? Sorry if this has been covered.

Ipswich putting some right dirty tackles in.

[Saint Fan CaM]

OMG - what a crock of utter shit this team is. RM can absolutely do one as far as I’m concerned. It’s getting worse not better.

What a scruffy cunt Martin looks in that tracksuit. 

He can look like Worzel Gummidge on a bad hair day if he wants just so long as he sorts this shower if shit out.

[adrian lord]

This is absolutely diabolical.

We are walking around – are the players even fit?

[James]

If this really is what Martin wants then I’m sorry but he has got to go. We’ll be lucky to stay up playing like this.

They probably are.

Successfully appealed.

About the only thing we have been successful with.

[saintant]

RM clearly trying to tighten up - the inverted fullback nonsense seems to have gone. However, we have no clue going forward so far.

Appeal won already. 

[Micky]

Proud of the lads I am,  very proud...!

[sambosa75]

Oh just fuck off will you?  Fuck all this wanky, suicidal “possession” shit and get back to basics and common sense defending. 

Once a solid foundation is built, surely then is the time we can try and be all trendy, clever and expansive.

This is the thing for me. I think he's very, very good at coaching a side to play how he wants, I just think the way he wants to play is completely naive to the point of being suicidal.

[adrian lord]

If we go in just one nil down, it will be a miracle

[obelisk]

Ipswich miss a sitter after they stroll through Saints non-existent midfield.

[Suhari]

Lol.

Fucking stupid effort from the Ipswich guy.

Blimey, they clearly agreed that it was a joke of a decision then.

[OttawaSaint]

Said in pre-season that all this passing in our own box was unnecessary, suicidal and stupid. 

What exactly are we trying to gain from it?

[vin]

Manning just isn’t a defender. Not sure he’s much off a footballer either

You said you weren't going to watch this game!  🤣

[SambaMaverick]

This is just ridiculous 

[sydney_saint]

Another excellent chance for Ipswich

[James]

We could honestly be 3-0 down at home to fucking Ipswich. 

[SNSUN]

Jesus wept that was awful.

[Mr X]

Another let off we are so so shit 

[Turkish]

Just cutting through us now, so easy to play against. This is so shit 

[saintant]

Should be 3-0 now.

[Colinjb]

So deeply bad. 

Square pegs in round holes everywhere. Tactically inflexibility hand in hand with poor coaching.

[John Boy Saint]

Before that last bring in the clowns moment  - how many more times are we going to pass the ball out of play 

[Crab Lungs]

Fucking sick of this bullshit philosophy already and the ridiculously avoidable goals we concede from it. We’re just giving teams goals. Fucking stupid.

When our opponents attack they do so quick and incisively. When we create a powder puff half-chance it takes 20 odd slow ponderous passes in front of a set defence.

Trust the process, courage, bravery oh fuck off you utter wankstain. We cannot afford to ‘bed’ this team into this style. We have a limited window. Besides, this team won’t exist come June next year if we don’t go up.

Fuck off with your vanity project, Russ because that’s what this is. I honestly don’t buy your bullshit sound bites anymore. 
 

VANITY PROJECT. This is all down to two vain knobbers trying to over complicate things to prove how smart they are.

[Yorkshire Saint]

Has he lost the dressing room ? Genuine question. 

[Maggie May]

I’ve stuck up for Martin and thought Sunderland was a blip. Obviously not, this is clueless football.

I'm an idiot.

[Saint_clark]

Stream gone down, anyone else got a link?

[Mr X]

Ironic that we play a style that needs huge confidence and huge ability two things we haven't had for years! I hate this style of football it's beyond bland

Any update on the greatest period of our history please?

Is that your motivation ? Hoping we lose to piss me off ? You sad fuck.

[SNSUN]

We have nothing in midfield. Nothing to link between defence and attack. We signed two CMs and one is at CB after we lost our entire compliment or CMs in the summer (bar Willy). Madness.

[trousers]

PSG vs Dortmund on in the bar here in Croatia. Small mercies...

[CB Fry]

Nice from Aribo then.

I don't think so, they're doing everything he wants them to do.

Yeah the only difference between this and the last 2 games is the fullbacks are playing more like fullbacks are supposed to play, not fucking 2nd wingers. The hopelessly weak midfield remains though, they are running through us at will, just not into acres of empty space.

[Dman]

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