I don't want Marti sacked either, but I am considering the possibility that another loss could be the end for him. I think this is the worse we've been since we've come back down from the PL? We all know the context, but as I've mentioned in my previous replies - do the decision makers see it as we do?
You could be right regarding the next three games, but I suppose it depends how other results go? If we win and the teams around us lose, great. If we lose and they win, then we're really starting to look cut adrift.
I think Marti being sacked would be the season defining action, I just wonder if this game is the decider for him?

Others have apparently seen it differently, but for me Marti's been looking scarily resigned, disspirited and/or depressed in the last two or three post-match interviews, almost as if he's anticipating the axe falling or feels unable to change things with the resources he has/doesn't have. Of course, in a club where no knows , or is allowed to know, what's in the offing, this might well be the big bad news in the offing we don't know about either.
Hope my intuition is askew on this occasion, but it quite often isn't.
We get that twice-struck lightning vs Stoke this weekend, and things start to look up a little. Another ropey showing and home defeat, a knife or two will be glinting, and I'll fear for him.
I agree, it looks and feels like a matter of time to me. Hope I'm wrong.
Stoke aren't much cop but look what they're bringing up front - Million Manhoef, Tom Cannon and Sam Gallagher. Our striking options in comparison are absolutely hilarious.

It's a broken record already, and I know that Celar has been unfeasibly bad, but whoever thought that Frey and Celar, plus a runaround Alfie Lloyd, were going to score us the goals to be competitive this season, has absolutely f*cked us! Right now, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't make 10 goals all season between the three of them!"
This when I start to think it's perhaps not such a far-flung conspiracy theory that the aim this season has been relegation all along, with a reboot/sell-up in League One.
I hold them ALL responsible (let's name them, in no particular order) : Nourry, Belk, Cifuentes, Ruben, Amit, Calm, Reilly, and Hoos. They all have positions in the club, and they're all failing the club. F*ck it - I'll throw Jude the Cat under the bus while I'm there just in case, and even though I generally prefer cats to people.
And who's to say it won't get (even) worse before it gets any better?
Love to be proved wrong, but I can't see us getting many more points before January. My glass is only ever half empty when it comes to QPR😉...but this team has drained even those meagre dregs. Come on U R'ssss 😁

As depressing as it is I must say I agree with you. This squad has no fight, no spirit and no soul. League One beckons I’m afraid. So sick of people not knowing who we even are. Relegation will make it even worse.I’m fast losing interest despite following our silly little club for nearly 50 years 😕
Yup the biggest issue is we can't score goals so we need to try something different, Celar is struggling as a lone striker so the 3-5-2 formation would give him support.
As mentioned elsewhere the forward options are not good so we need to defend well and make sure we don't lose the midfield battle, giving Celar a bit of support may be a game changer, we need to try something he's struggling massively as the lone striker.

Yes, scrappy 1 nil win. Steve Cook falls over the goaline with the ball.

As if I needed reminding, I was watching the Slovenia Norway game during the International break. Celar came on for Slovenia with them 1-3 down and about 20 minutes to go. He got played in behind the Norwegian defenders bang in front of goal, with good movement to give him some credit, but with only the Keeper to beat he totally missed the ball trying to control it when a confident striker would have put it away first time on the volley. He then got beaten to a ball played into the box by 2 defenders and that was it from him.

Currently worse than the Ainsworth season, pretty much across the board , statisticly.
Marti cannot do right with this team, and thats not his fault. However, it's a game of points, and what to they make????....... survival, thats what. Ergo, come 5pm today, we will be in the crapper even more, and Marti etc will probably get the spanish archer.
This will lead to our physio getting a huge contract not to be 'in country', and more subbuteo rubbish from the team, and those 'just out of their teens' peeps who dont have a scooby!
Heart says 1-1, but bugger it........ 5-0 to the supa hoopsa!
With no recognisable striker and only one relatively creative midfielder we'll be lucky to scrape a draw. The situation with so many key players still out looks dire. Our only strength lies in set-pieces, where Cook, Dunne and Field can be dangerous. Apart from that it has to be a backs-to-the-wall effort not to concede. Heart says 0-0, head says heartbreaking loss.
