Today's performance showed up Martin's and the clubs naive thinking. It doesn't take a football expert to see we have a poor quality squad at Prem level and the hard facts are , to give yourself a chance to survive the first season you play like we did today ...pragmatism, grit, solidity and grind those points out, game by game.
We're a poor team at this level. Recruitment has been patchy at best. Too many non productive attackers. A mediocre defence . An easily overrun midfield. Martin had to get the sack. Maybe we can sack off the Recruitment team next.
I'll be there tonight hoping we turn it on and Liverpool are not a the races.
Steve Cooper has got got to be a good shout. Leicester were not in bottom 3 when they sacked him. Knows the Championship. Took Swansea to two playoffs Inc one final. Took Forest up first time of asking and then kept them up in their first season. Ticks all the boxes for me.
You may well be right , but I don't feel Onuachu has been given the opportunity that was affored Prem duds like Mara and Armstrong. This season Armstrong has had 770 mins of game time and Tall Paul 111....basically 1 game.
Give him a run of matches, if he's done nothing after 6 games fair enough bin him off but what have we got to lose.
This is a repeat of our previous relegation season where Selles didn't play him all the while "trusting the process" as we lost game after game.
Although you are right in that he didn't get in the Liverpool box and be a threat to their goal. The reality was in the first half Liverpool pretty much dominated and we were forced back into the our final third.
It's typical really that we are looking to sell a player we paid 16/18m for likely around 10m.
He's hardly played but when he has he's looked impressive and lifted the home fans and I'm convinced the goals would come if he could get a run of games instead of desperate last 15 min performances where we're looking for miracles.
Whilst we persevere we Armstrong who for all his effort looks way short at this level.
Ever the optimist I hoped this season we'd survive but I remember feeling pretty uneasy listening to pretty season interview with our beloved leader and he kept emphasising the style of football wouldn't change.
Where pragmatism and survival is the name of the game for newly promoted teams, Martin in hindsight was either arrogant or deluded or both to think this style would keep you up.
I suspect he has his own personal agenda of self preservation at the cost of our club.

Martin on the goal: “We played out and got pressed just before that - so then it makes Joe [Lumley] kick it long, and it gets a cheer from our supporters, - and we concede within 10 seconds. So, yeah. It is what it is.” #saintsfc [bbc]
