Other than calling for the managers head, what else can those left inside SMS do ?

Imagine if he came out after the game and blamed the result on the toxic atmosphere.

Anyone brave or daft enough to defend Russell now?

Just so easy to score against. When you're down the bottom you need to try and be hard to beat FFS. Just giving them goals.

[obelisk]

Pathetic free kick from Saints.

Judging by the screenshot Matteo just posted, they are. And SR’s leadership are at the gate today aren’t they?

Empty stadium by half-time bar the away fans.

Did you come down specifically for the game?

It has been embarrassing being a Saints fan in recent seasons.

10 is on here. Make no mistake if Spurs want it to be, this is double figures.

Yep, they week be going for it big time, I doubt they'll stop at ten either.  Any manager, and I mean any manager worth his salt would've got to three and shut up shop.  Lose, but don't lose bad, but we have RM...!

[OttawaSaint]

Comms saying the group behind Martin are giving him shit.

How are we doing on the possession stats though?

Which is when any interviewer worth his salt will say "can't you blame them with what they have had to watch all season" but Blackmore et al are too scared to criticise Martin to his face.

[obelisk]

Another ludicrously poor free kick. Spurs break and almost 5.

[Saint NL]

Anyone else just wanting to fast forward the match and get straight to the post match interviews? Can't wait to hear what that nobhead has to say about this

In a way I hope the club sack him tomorrow just so he can embarrass himself on national TV further than he has done all season and the rest of the industry can see him for what he is.

5 years time he will working in league 2.

[Maggie May]

How long can this Dragan?

[saintant]

Is he still here?

[hypochondriac]

I think if he's not sacked after this I don't know if I can keep supporting the club. 

[danjosaint]

That team talk he done to me he appeared to indicate players are getting him the sack or if the players don't want to be here then leave, if you watch him he's using his thumb and pointing to changing rooms

Fixed it for you...

[OttawaSaint]

You only have to look at what's happening at Utd with Garnacho and Rashford to know that players are on the whole really thick. 

A coach needs to have a system that's easy to understand. Martin probably rants on and on and they don't really know what he's on about. 

[adrian lord]

The way Martin fluked promotion last year was, in hindsight, laden with warnings about this debacle of a season. 

[Edmonton Saint]

This surely puts to bed the notion that he still has the support of the dressing room. We need a ruthless manager to come in and get rid off the constant failures in this squad .. ,McCarthy, Bednarek, Armstrong (and Stephens when playing) have all been a huge part of the malaise and downward trend in recent years .

Aim some vitriol towards the bench and directors box for one? You think many other sets of fans would just sit there and take this shit? It’s a fucking disgrace our fans are paying to watch this.

[Saint_clark]

Utter joke, I don't care whether it's deliberate that should be handball in those circumstances. He was sliding away from the ball and his arm scooped it in front of him.

[saintant]

Presume there's an emergency board meeting at half time?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Jeez.

Spurs' attacking set up should be a good test for Martin, as it should have given us at least some space to get his passing game going. Sounds as though it's been a disaster.
