Russ martins interview 18:55 - Aug 6 with 2325 viewsPatchesOHoulihan

“They put people behind the ball - anyone would struggle to break that down”

They can only keep putting all their players behind the ball if we give them an opportunity to do so. What does he expect teams are going to do against us?

So disappointed after today

It’s taken him a season to work out that’s how opponents shut out teams obsessed with ball possession. Jesus wept.

Ah we could do that but we won’t …….. because he wants us to be different (instead of successful)


We have good attacking talent and it’s being wasted with this cowardly style of play. He thinks it’s being brave but too scared to make mistakes in their half when we risk them constantly in ours.

They could put people behind the ball because we gave them all the time in the world to do so.
Pedestrian pace, static players ahead of the defence, predictable, weak.

It’s why Piroe can’t wait to get out


What does stand out for me is his mistreatment of Joseph. Is he ,like Whitaker,another with attitude . Russ seems not to like those who stand up for themselves. In other words bully.

If you spend 20 seconds passing it back and fore in the centre circle, teams organise their defence..........really!

Piroe can’t wait to get out ?
Have you got a reference for that ?

It’s a strange one with Joseph

He kept playing him for 2 mins last year which really can’t have helped him after he came back loan to play
Looked like there was something there and now can’t wait to bomb them out again

Yes - Dr P has stated Piroe hates Martin ( tonight again ) and that Piroe's father is actively working to get him out of here.
So it must be true ...

How to beat Swansea City under Martin.
The bank of 4 midfielder take it in turns to assist the striker, pressing...then sit in whilst we pass it around the back knowing that we will never play that long ball forward so our front 4 can have a go one-on-one....even if we did, the DM would drop in to assist the defence.

Sometimes a team plays 2 strikers (to really chase down our back 3, with a bank of 3 midfielders doing the pressing (1 at a time).


They are happy for us to have the ball back there for 70% of the time, they are controlling the game and are satisfied that when they have their 30% of the ball they will be stealing it in our half with a 5 v 5 situation (if we're lucky, more often than not they have an overload because we lose the ball unexpectedly with our players too high to get back)


This is why they score so many goals against us with so little of the ball.

Poll: Which manager should replace Russell Martin (2) ?

Russ martins interview on 08:20 - Aug 7 with 1773 viewscadleigh

I watched most of Martin’s post-match interview. As far as I could see his message, which he repeated over and over, was that there was nothing wrong with his game plan, tactics or selections. The problem was with the players and their execution of his strategy.

This is his standard MO.

The Cambridge definition of arrogance is “behaving as if you are more portent than, or know more than, other people”

His refusal to take any responsibility for the failure of his match-day plan is, in my opinion, arrogant.
