I hate losing but you lot on here are incredible. A bunch of ingrates who throw their dummies out of the pram. Werent doing that in May.

It was obvious we were not a PL team, we finished 4th. 

I know you wont like the truth but to give up after 3 , yes 3 games!!!!!

Expand  

No-one is giving up. Everyone here thinks we have the players to keep us up, or at least compete to do so. It won't happen with Martin in charge.

Can't believe there's an international break after 3 sodding games.

Time to reset, look at the 3 games, learn from our mistakes and... keep doing them.

[a1ex2001]

Is it too soon to call for Martin to go?  I knew we were beat as soon as the lineup came out and so it proved!

Get over yourself 

[JohnS]

Could put your house on Mbeumo & Wissa scoring against our shitty defence 

Martin is proving to be right out of his depth - wrong starting line up - very weak defence - nothing in final 3rd - these areas never improve 

Joe Tessem saying our defence is an absolute mess

I’m not sure what the rules are. Bazunu got crucified conceding two from slightly closer and more central at Ipswich.

That was a much harder shot than either of those.

HTH.

Better practice or seethes. He moved things around, after we'd already lost this one. But he will set up up well within his football philosophy.

In his head, that Barcelona job awaits him if he just stays consistent. Even if we finish bottom wioth 0 points. 🙂

Really looking forward to Martin saying how brave we were and that the eam did everything that was asked of them.

[Saint Matty 76]

Our best player is a kid with about an hour on a professional pitch.

[obelisk]

Dibling seems to be ignoring RM's instructions by looking to get forward and trying to score.

[OttawaSaint]

No points, no goals, suicidal defending. 

We haven't even faced a top team yet.

He can fuck off then.

I said many times last season that I really doubted his suitability to keep us up if we got promoted. I have to say, it's not looking good.

Wait until we play the good sides. The record could tumble.

Unlucky Dibling. He looks good

We are going to score 

[SNSUN]

Bella-Kotchap evwn with a dicky ticker would improve this defence today. Stop playing 3 CBs please Russ pleeeeease! Attack is the best form of defence. Just stick Les in front of the defence and go from there.

[Suhari]

Are we brave?

That's what stands out. And it has often stood out with our set up. Our individuals get us results. Not because the system allows them to be in a position to do so, but because they go against the instuctions.

Yes the tactics of playing around the back is wrong, but to start calling for RM head is pathetic.

It has to be said that we turned it around last season after getting tonked by Sunderland.

No I'm not feeling that confident but it could happen

Can’t see the match, are we playing walking football again?  Russball only works if we play at the pace of an ice hockey team.

Saints players still queuing in lobby waiting to shoot. Give them an Oadis ticket if the hit the target

Dibling very much a positive. The negative is he’s going to be sold when we are relegated

Give up? Look at the goals we're conceding you absolute melon.

[scumbag]

Dibbling needs to watch himself. I thought the same when he came on against Forest and starting actually running at defenders that he was taking a huge career risk. 

He may 'disappear' now for footballing re-education.

[Saint NL]

Roll on next season when we're a big team in a shit league again.

[Mr X]

Looking forward to hearing Martin say we conceded two of the three goals from my insistence on playing such a fucking stupid system I won't be employing that style anymore! 😂

It's not going to change, so either we accept relegation with him, or we give ourselves a chance by sacking him. I know which option I am taking.

Who said that they are giving up?. On the manager maybe, on the style of play definitely.

 

[gio1saints]

Very humbling to be 3-0 at this stage at Brentford. Thought it was a game we could be looking to win. The starting line up had the look of a last chance saloon for certain players though - not all that attacking at all and we all thought it was not the right move  but hoped for the best - and so it transpires. That AA and WS got hooked at HT says it all. 

The second half is looking calamitous. Who did not think this kind of score line might happen? There’s always a positive : On the up side it’s 0-3 at farton park. 😁
