| Top 3 reasons Martin must be sacked now 08:46 - Oct 20 with 2973 views | PatfromPoole |
1. Mental weakness throughout the side.
2. Substitutions
3. Set-pieces.
Difficult to keep it down to 3 reasons, in truth.
I'm still fuming about:-
- the non-international players within the squad being given 4 days off last weekend
- him being out in Winchester on a Saturday afternoon 3 weeks ago when he should have been at Arsenal v Leicester, and watching our next 2 League opponents.
He clearly has been waiting to be sacked for some time. |  |

I’m fearful that SR will continue to stick with him. I’m also fearful if they do pull the trigger who we will end up getting next.
Neither of these options fills me with hope. |  |

Can we trust this mob to bring in anyone that will improve things?
Rylan deserves to bring us back up when we get relegated according to the ‘cult’ following…… |  |

1. Lack of fitness, physical and mental.
2. Poor team selections, tactics and game management.
3. The way he communicates and conducts himself.
Most of all….. look at the table! [Post edited 20 Oct 9:30]

Not just in football but good management involves recognising strengths and weaknesses in your team and being flexible enough to get best results. Martin is a one trick pony who cannot adapt and react to different situations. Yesterday at 2 nil up and Leicester gaining a foothold it was time to shore things up and strengthen the midfield to protect the lead. Instead he totally misread the game
I don’t think we have a good enough squad but with Martin in charge we have absolutely no chance of winning a game let alone staying up. |  |

Can you imagine how enjoyable that last game at Goodison is going to be for you lot if this gimp is still in charge of us. The white flag will be raised on the coach to the ground. | |

Sulemana came on and was blowing out of his arse after 5 minutes on his haunches.
He and Tall Paul need to be distanced fro the squad.
Rather have Adam Armstrong who was on the bench.
At least he puts a shift in. |  |

It was the questions we had wrong. |

Whichever way you cut it he is well past his sell by date. The board need to make a move and now. How many other clubs with a 1 point out of 24 return would put up with this?
That is a record of abject failure (how can anyone accept it?) and should be addressed before it really is too late. |  |

He signed a new contract in the summer. He would be owed a massive pay off. I have heard through the grape vine, that the club know we are still likely to go down even with a new manager, so there is no great drive to have to be paying him off 10 million and also paying another manager who would want a good deal to even consider coming here, then get relegated anyway. Any decent new manager would want funds in January, and our owners can't provide them because of fair play etc. Managers like Potter, therefore wouldnt come, so there arn't better replacements available anyway. It's the same mistakes from the owners, yet again. | |

There was an interview with him pre-match on five live that was quite strange, basically saying that he has no intention of changing his strategy and will stay with his plan regardless of results. | | | |

Sounding like a man wanting to be sacked.
A number of his behaviours over the last few weeks are further evidence of this. | |

No fear of being sacked because he's guaranteed to be paid his salary for remainder of contract & knows he'll get another job, pretty quickly, albeit where he belongs in a lower league. | | | |

Delusional doesn’t even begin to cover it. He’s Like the General Staff in WW1, persisting with failed strategies no matter what the cost to others.
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s here it for Russell Martin, aka Field Marshall Rylan Melchett, WAC (with bar)! | |

But surely the owners would want to at least go down with abit of a fight rather than go down as the worst team in Prem League history which we will do if he stays | | | |

No, they would rather save the millions by not paying him off and also paying a new man, millions. No decent manager would come here with high the possibility of a relegation on their cv. We would just be swapping RM for another Nathan Jones from the lower leagues. | |

Sounds like a good swap. Evan Nathan Jones won 3 times as many points in the same number of games, and that was without the year of preparation time that RM has had. | | | |

Got to be totally honest, but don’t enjoy it any more.
Got a season ticket that cost me £700 as well. But I’m at the stage now where I might stay at home instead. | | | |

I said to my son yesterday I really don’t want to go to the next match, he said he still does but I think his enthusiasm is on the wane, it’s soul destroying.
It’s not just the football it’s the whole day, celebrations cut short by awful goal music, sat next to people on phones and touching up make up through out game, it’s just nothing like it used to be.
My sons mates all go to watch Basingstoke and I think he’d have more fun doing that. |  |

The trouble with bloody minded arrogance is the inability to think creatively, apply a little guile and outsmart teams that thought they had you worked out.
I don't care who we get as long as he has a cunning streak but as SR don't care about club or fans, Can we at least put him on mowing the pitch and let Lallana have a go at coaching the team instead please? | | | |

Will still always go no matter what, even if only for the faint hope of not sh!thing myself for the last 15 mins or so expecting the opponents, whoever they are, from ripping our hearts out with a points winning goal or 3 | | | |

Same as my lad and myself tbh.
Going to watch Eastleigh is less street inducing and more of a old school football experience.
Yesterday was me done with this manager.
Clueless subs, absolutely no idea how to defend, sticking to his principles where clearly we just hand the momentum to opposition by giving the ball away in both defence and midfield...suicide football. | | | |
