Hull City v Swansea City : Matchday Thread 2022/23 on 21:04 - Apr 29 by SullutaCreturned | Well critic of his that I am, I can't blame him if a player can't raise himself for a make or break game. I know we only had an outside chance anyway but the players shouldn't have hit the beach until the play offs was definitely out of reach. If they cannot lift thmselves for that its not the managers fault, once they cross the touchline and the whistle goes, its down to them. |
Disagree Cat, it’s very much down to the manager to make sure they have the right focus and frame of mind when they get in the pitch, especially if there is a chance of extending the season - always a long shot of course. There was no urgency in their play, they reverted to silly football around the back, Fisher nearly got pickpocketed once, were not strong enough in the tackle (only Cooper showed anything when he came on). I was expecting more to be honest and yes the players must shoulder some blame but so must Martin. | ![](/images/avatars/8799.gif) |

Hull City v Swansea City : Matchday Thread 2022/23 on 22:12 - Apr 29 by AguycalledJack | I know it happens but the players should not be hitting the beach until after the final game, no matter the league position. They should always be pushing to finish as high as they can in the league, they have a responsibility to their employers and fans and a responsibility to the other teams in the league who’s fortunes may depend on the result of any given game. They should also have personal pride to turn in as best a performance that they can every game. I’ll be expecting 100% effort against wet Brom. They have a responsibility to me as a fan to turn up and play to win and make every effort to win. |
I don't think we have been playing as if we are on the beach. On an undefeated run and just picked up another point away from home, exactly what did you expect over the last 2 months of the season. I'm more than happy the way we are currently performing. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Which begs the question, which no doubt we are all wondering, where has that form been the rest of the season. I’m no Martin hater or manager hater at any time, we all want the swans to do well. We all have different views and articulate them in different ways. But the question has to be asked, where was that form after Christmas? And why has it taken until the last run of successful games for such results to be achieved. Too little too late for this season.

As I said around about January, it’s a process, and next season would be the one. If Martin is backed a little, and we keep key players, I think I will be right. Most with a football brain can see it now. Others won’t. | ![](/images/avatars/11048.gif) |

Most with a football brain will recognise that the less Russy's "process" is involved the better the results are, and how that has been the case since 2021. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

Without a doubt we should have been playing with a back four all season instead of perceiving with wing backs that we didn't have. If we had we would be in the play offs. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Most with a football brain? I would suggest that most with a football brain can understand that season isn't measured by a run of 8 games without defeat. I would also suggest most with a football brain see that when a process is changed twice and we have successful spells using a different strategy, going back to the original strategy that brings 3 wins in 21 is not successful and most with a football brain would have changed back to the winning strategy long before 21 games passed. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Well yes but in reality, when there's nothing left to play for the performances always drop off. Putting it bluntly I guess but even out here in the real world many people won't do much work in the last hour of the working day, some don;t do much on Fridays.

Our brains are different and consequently we view matters differently. Those with a brain can see that but sometimes egos get in the way . Next season will be the one ? It may well be indeed ,the one that sees us relegated again . The league will be far far tougher next season. Most can see that | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Not to mention, an incredibly silly and inaccurate one. Martin has had to do an about turn in order to win games. The process has been simply a case of getting him to a position to listen to sense. Anyone with a football brain could have said that, and some of us said it nigh on two years ago, while others still think it’s the same process…. I’ll mention no names.. (however if it resonates with you… it’s probably you). [Post edited 30 Apr 2023 13:18]

The players weren’t good enough was the mantra. The trick is to remember all these excuses because they quickly end up biting people on the behind. They were always good enough, unfortunately fantastic cogs in a broken system, is still a broken system. In order for the cogs to work, the system needed fixing. After pretty much 4 years of doing exactly the same thing, he’s finally realised that you have to play wide, with pace and his method of tiring out the opposition by knocking the ball around your own box doesn’t, hasn’t, and will never work. I can only hope (for his sake as much as anything) that he swallows his pride and takes this way of playing forward and doesn’t revert back to Martinball. In the meantime he can work on his media ‘skills’, they are as bad as his former goal kick routines. | ![](/images/avatars/27408.gif) |
