That's a mid -table Championship squad at best. I'm hoping Juric will improve the team a substantial amount. To be honest I'd hate to watch that set of players every week. It would be too depressing - talk about mediocre. I predict now losing away to Wrexham and Millwall!
Juric will do well if after the summer transfer madness he can build a team capable of seriously competing for promotion.
The psychology of some managers should give psychologists a fairly extreme example of a particular human condition and failing. I would love to read a study if there's one out there.
Martin is a case in point. To continue to have faith - until the end - in a style that was doomed against quality players and teams does indicate narcissism and delusion of a concerning nature (especially 'concerning' for me as a Southampton FC hardcore supporter).
As Einstein said hammering away at the same idea after it has failed is a definition of insanity. But aren't we all guilty to some degree- largely because of egotism, naivety and inexperience but we've had bucket loads of that in the past few years from owners and management.
With slightly more optimism: Juric seems to be more pragmatic which is what ultimately every manager should be to survive. Pragmatism wins over persistent style and mindset, wins every time.
Him and SR. SR are ultimately the source of all decisions made.
Martin's football was dreadful and so was everything else. He was shyte; end of story. At least Juric wants to attack and put teams under pressure and actually the stats prove that. Juric's stats will definitely improve by the end of the season.
Agree our players just aren't good enough and it's SR's fault: they're the real reason our team isn't as good as it should be.
SR should have sacked Martin in the summer and brought in a more capable, experienced manager. I'm pretty sure quite a few managers would have done a better job. Martin's failings are glaringly obvious to the most casual of football supporters.
Let's see how Martin does in his next jog, I mean job, in the lower divisions.
