We are so poor under this Manager - it is laughable.

Do you think a different manager would be able to build a better game plan around the hapless performances of Les, Cornet and Suga?

Classic martin-ball. All the possession, no real threat - cos it gets to the opposition final third and the players that have it most are our centre backs who shuffle it wide… and then receive it back whilst everyone else stands still being marked on the edge of the box. It’s so boring and I’m so over it. Oh, then we concede. But at least we have all the possession.

These guys are currently 19th in the Championship - 19th! And that’s with their first team, this is their reserves, FFS!

Are we League One level??

And people say we will be stronger in the Championship than last time and be coming straight back up.

Oh for...

Dominance without killing a game off does for us again. Big Les nowhere near strong enough. Marker at back post missing too.

We are doing our best to kill the game off.

There is absolutely a side and a style of play that can be effective from this squad. Guardiola style football is not it. We play this way for one reason only - Martin's vanity and, he's hoping, for his next job.

This Ugochukwu is dead average and the fee Chelsea paid would be our record signing

Make you wonder if he had a stuntman take his part in his YouTube reel as he looked like a superb cross between Schneiderlin and Wanyama on there...

Who knows. It's almost as if some people think some managers can't get better performances out of players than other managers... ;).

Has tall Paul had a fling with Martin's missus? Have to wonder what he's done to not even get a start in this game. 

It's so obvious we need that physical presence in the box. 

If we lose this, do we think he might actually get sacked?

Insane that he's not getting at least 30 minutes today after actually looking alright off the bench in the league

Just absolute stupidity

I just don’t get Martin’s mantra.  We’re slow, ponderous, take unnecessary risks and still create fuck all. Passing for passings sake. We

Russell took you out from his grassy knoll in the Kingsland?

All the possession - and we’ve barely had a shot in normal play. We needed a set piece and a dodgy corner to score. But at least we’ll always have the possession 

Exactly.

We're not exactly showing dominance. But then we never do.

Can't defend, ponderous in attack.

Superb entertainment.

Yes?

Maybe another manager would prepare them better, motivate them better, organise them better?

I don't understand how in your eyes Russell Martin is a completely blameless inactive participant in the performance of this football team.
