Has it crossed your mind that Marti asked him to sit deep and just break it up? You could see City liked to knock it about and Field was instrumental in spoiling that.
We were set up not to lose and we achieved that.
Well dome Marti and the squad. |

I was sitting in the lower ER and his awareness and physicality is off the scale. We could hear him bollocking Nardi for not coming off his line quick enough. Then shortly after when Nardi caught the ball from a corner under pressure Cook told him how god he is. Real leadership. |

Dreadful first 45 mins from both sides. Marti obviously had words and we just raised our game slightly and deserved the 3pts.
I can’t remember watching such a dreadful side as Oxford. How on earth did they make their way into the Championship. The most clueless bunch of professional footballers I’ve seen. Literally spent 97 mins passing the ball across their box.
I’d love to watch one their training sessions! What an embarrassment. |

The most damming one is he has not scored a goal.
Goal scorers will always have a poor run at some point, but even the average ones will work their bollocks off to get that knock-in with their shin to get them going again.
His overall demeanour is shocking. He is a mile off been a Championship player of any quality or description and you could see at 60mins Marti was done with him. |

He’s clearly not going to start Celar again after such an inept performance yesterday so that will be the showdown with Nourry. |

I think he totalled 7 touches in the whole game including the penalty miss. Marti was right to sub him and he shouldn’t start while Lloyd is fit and willing to run about for the cause. Hopefully, Celar will get a loan back to Switzerland at Xmas - Marti is done with him as are the fans. |

All the possession and a goal down. Watching on a stream but we literally have nothing up front. Celar hasn’t scored all season and you can see why. No movement, no aggression and utterly hopeless. |

Basically we are fecked and we should have told you all earlier, but please turn up in your normal numbers to help us out.
Just looking at the list, particularly JCS and you’d have to say we will finish bottom 3 barring another Marti miracle or a financially suicidal Jan spend.
We’ve been utter shite on and off the pitch for almost 10yrs now and here we are again. I assume Ruben has fired both barrels at our esteemed CEO and given him a reality check. How long before he shows him the door? |

Rory's strat was such a signature beast - I'm surprised it didn't go for more money. I watched him tear the roof off at the Hammersmith Odeon in the late 70's - what a player.
With the Jeff Beck collection (not a huge fan) there does not appear to be a single stand out legendary guitar but a huge collection all the same. One for the purists I think. |

We've been soft as shite for over 10yrs.
I honestly cannot remember a prolonged string of games where we have dominated home and away. Marti corrected that after Xmas last year "on and off" and we did look very solid as the season closed.
He's a smart coach, worked in different leagues and my take is he had worked out the Championship. Result - he gets thrown a load of light-weights to coach and yet again we are soft as shite.
I still fail to understand why we did not cherry-pick the very best of L1 and in some cases L2 players who could step up to the physical challenge.
Whenever I see Oxford Utd on the TV - they literally run themselves into the ground and make it so difficult to play against them. |

Our biggest problem is how do we unload the players that have come in this summer that clearly are a mile off it? There is some serious £ been spent on absolute garbage plus Marti must have a generous pay-off given he just extended his contract.
It's obvious that it's either the CEO or Marti, but who's going to bust first. It needs the owners to intervene, fire the CEO and just put Sinton in as a CEO cover until the summer.
Without Marti we are truly doomed. |

Clive - you have obviously heard something solid on Marti. It’s pretty obvious he doesn’t like what’s happening but why didn’t he walk in the summer when his stock was high?
You can see him going to Coventry where he would be brilliant!
If the club handle this badly it’s not going to get ugly at HQ. |

I lived on and off (work related) for many years in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I returned to the U.K. a couple of years ago to retire.
I really enjoyed my time in the US. I had a top job and was very financially successful and independent.
I felt the wind changing politically after Trump tried to storm the Capitol building in the US. Whilst the states I lived in were not prolific gun owners the gun lobby just exploded. There was a polarisation politically, that I hadn’t witnessed before and it was ugly - so time to come home.
It’s an amazing country with brilliant friendly people, but right now they have made a decision with Trump that they will have to own. It’s not going to be pretty and I sense that at some point the blue touch paper will be lit and then they will struggle to control a whole heap of different groups intent on violence. Trump will encourage it.
And don’t get me going on the huge influence the Christian right fruitcakes have on the country - it’s fecking scary! |

Unless I am mistaken, Marti is an intelligent individual. From a football perspective, he showed that in abundance after Xmas last season.
He does not strike me as someone who will be dictated to on signings and then sign a new contract himself - it frankly does not add up!
Yes, it's a shitshow, but I cannot see anyway that Marti has his hands on some of these signings. The whole car-crash is bemusing. |
