Just now, Edmonton Saint said:

Bednarek and THB were a very successful centre back partnership for months. Why Martin is changing this so he can shoehorn Stephens into the side is mystifying.

This 100% ridiculous.

[Baird of the land]

Good news they injured Manning.

[Saint NL]

Che doing Che things

[coalman]

Adams really lined up that scuff at goal.

[whelk]

Adams is a goat 

[OttawaSaint]

Soft scuff...oh Che. Transfer window closed is it...

[Saint Fan CaM]

Che Adams. What’s the point?

[RedArmy]

Fuck off adams

Just checked in and seen it's all gone to shit already. Wtf is Martin doing dicking round with the defence? Why is our best cb at rb? 

Indeed. Surely Stephens was the obvious choice given he had a decent enough game there the other day?

[Viking Saint]

Utter shit from Adams

Because if he was at LB Russ would have to drop Manning.

On his favored right too. I could do better.

[obelisk]

Adams with pass to their 'keeper.

Or play Bree, who is actually a RB

[Saint NL]

Dean Hammond isn't on Comms today, I'd love to know how going 1-0 is actually a good thing 

[Sheaf Saint]

That's the most fucking pathetic half-arsed attempt at a shot I think I've ever seen in professional football. 

[Farmer Saint]

Were THB and Bednarek in the centre against Bristol City, Huddersfield, Hull and Millwall? 

[SNSUN]

Looks around the forum... one of you is thinking of starting a Next Manager thread... 

 

To be fair if we lose this it'd be borderline unacceptable. Especially after Leeds only drew.

[OttawaSaint]

The days of the smug twat in his armchair crowing over adding to the record and wanking himself in front of the mirror are long gone...predictable!

[Baird of the land]

Manning just not even bothered there

[Bad Wolf]

Why are Birmingham celebrating getting a corner more than their goal?

[coalman]

We look like we're going to concede every time they come forwards 

[Saint NL]

Why can they just run through the midfield and have a shot? Not one single attempt to challenge him

[Bad Wolf]

If the customers of your work constantly slagged you off, would you be bothered about doing a good job?

[Ed Rooney]

Picking smallbone and Stephens because he likes them is a little embarrassing really 

[hypochondriac]

How have we gone from the best defence in the division to leaking like a sieve? What's changed? 

[benali-shorts]

Manning’s positional awareness is non-existent

Taking THB out of centre to accommodate Jack Stephens is the worst decision he has made so far 

He loves hipster looking lads with beards, I'm telling you. 

[RedArmy]

Lost count of the amount of times I’ve had to question how Manning got in the team of the season. How bad was the championship last year?

If he is still in post at 530 today I will be pissed

[Jonnyboy]

Does Russell not have a promotion bonus in his contract then?

[Bad Wolf]

Brooks really isn't as great as everyone made him out to be.

[Miltonaggro]

80% possession, the same as cashflow v profit in business, an illusion of success. 

[Viking Saint]

If I consistently performed as badly as Manning does, I'd have been sacked ten times over by now

If I was doing a poor job I would be bothered about doing a poor job.

[Guan 2.0]

Manning and Stephens rammed in the team at any angle available. With predictable results.

 

 

[saint lard]

Get in.  Depsite Martin.

Am I on the TV while working with potential new employers watching?

Sounds diabolical from what I’m reading

Because we have 9 stone slow midfielders 

[coalman]

Yes!

[Bad Wolf]

1-1

It’s right up there with a load of other shit decisions.

[Saint NL]

Adam Armstrong 1-1

[Suhari]

Fantastic goal!

And yet better than 95% of our team 

[whelk]

Get in

[stknowle]

That’s better. Well done Brooks and AA

[OttawaSaint]

Yay, the sphere went into that frame with the mesh!

[Jonnyboy]

Arma!
