I'm at a total lose after that. For the first time I am starting to think that MC may be the problem.
I can't see a game plan, or how we are trying to break teams down.
It's turned into long ball hit and hope football. We start as 3421 but finish with God knows what. Worse, it's just dull to watch.
I hope he can turn this around, but the players look disinterested. Has he lost the dressing room? |  | | |  |

After sitting through 85mins of what I have recently termed my weekly charitable donation. It's clear that Marti has over complicated his tactics in a largely straightforward league. The upper loft gives you a good view of formations and players movement to which it’s very clear where it’s not working. Fox too slow at moving the ball to Paal or Saito allowing Portsmouth to screen cover. Dunne (and apologies to any huge fans here) is simply too clumsy and simply not good enough to play with ball at feet. Bar a switch to right back last season he hasn’t improved his overall game and reverts to panic hoofing the ball out of the stadium.
What surprised me yesterday was rather than showing for the ball in midfield we thought it was easier to play up to Frey and build. Where has the midfield gone? Portsmouth on the other hand played neat 3,4 passes and were on attack. If we are a possession based team why are we then bypassing our midfield and reverting to hoofball. The only time this changed was when Field (yesterday’s walking red card tight rope) went off and Morgan added some movement to our static midfield. If Marti plays Field and Madsen again in front of the back 4 or 3 or 5 he deserves all the criticism.
If we are to move upward then it has to go back to basics which Marti did when he first came in. 4-1-4-1 or 4-2-3-1 screen the back 4 with Field and Varane/Colback and give players who are seemingly struggling Dunne, Madsen, Fox to read the game from the bench and build their confidence with small cameos. The championship is a funny old league. Blink and it’s January. |
Keep Calm and Marti on.
There are those who simply post noise, often for the sake of it, and thankfully, those that post stuff worth reading. It all sounds sensible what you're saying. |  |

We seem to have a worrying mix of problems.
- Mistakes at the back
- Nobody to collect it in the middle and move it purposely forward, and not even close to having anyone available
- A strange lack of creativity up front - which I find bizarre considering he now has a lot more at his disposal, at least in terms of the players behind the hapless forward.
He's right that we shouldn't have gone 2-1 down, but once we did we had no clue about how to turn it around with a full half an hour left. That can't be just about confidence - Marti seems to be in just as much of a funk as the players.I hope he gets the time to come out of it. |
OK, trying to find some optimism.
Mistakes at the back. Get JCS back in and this should improve.
Lack of creativity up front. Chair is now back but not yet match fit. Surely he will improve this aspect.
Midfield? Fair enough, that's a struggle. | | | |
