I'm not sure what the difference in style is between these two? Both styles are about maintaining possession, both leave the defence exposed & neither seem particularly productive. Hopefully we will improve but currently I struggle to see a massive difference.
And is Ryan Manning Martin's Elyounoussi? | | | |  |

We have won 3 games under RM and scored 8 goals. I don't remember scoring 8 goals in 12 games under Selles let alone 4 games. Yes we have conceded a lot but let's hope Sunderland was a one off and not react after one defeat in 4. Beat Leicester (and I'm not saying we will) but if we do we will go top of the league. It's a long season in the Championship. Let's not overreact yet, when we could be top come next Friday. [Post edited 4 Sep 2023 18:00]

Selles team kept a clean sheet or two and beat decent opposition. | |

The styles are very similar - with the same weaknesses. To be fair to RM he hasn't had time yet to find a settled side and drill them in his methods.
I think the major difference between this season and last won't be us, it will be the quality of the opposition. Basically, this league is shite (relative to the Prem). Just look at the starts made by the teams promoted to the Prem. All 3 of them will do well to avoid relegation.
We're playing the dregs that remain, plus Leicester and Leeds. So we don't have to be great to do well in this league - but we certainly need to be better than Saturday. We would lose to a League 2 side playing like that. | | | |

As we did when we played like idiots against Grimsby. No tackling, no marking, no effort from the players that night. | |

To be fair to Russell Martin, Swansea fans did say that it would take a couple of months for the players to adapt to his way of playing... but that they'd get there in the end. | |

But that also depends on the teams he picks
Some of those players are just not good enough | | | |

In fairness, Selles was playing PL teams. Martin has lost 3-1 to a L2 team, conceded 4 at home, been hammered 5-0 away and beaten two of the promoted L1 clubs in his first 6 games at the club. | |

I note that the Spreadsheet King has made a pretty inauspicious start to life at Reading.
The Twitter was not looking good for him last night after their reverse at Cambridge.
Who would have thought it? | |

I think Selles is the footballing equivalent of a one hit wonder in music. Great result at Stamford Bridge then downhill thereafter.
I honestly fear for Ballard’s progress under Selles this season, he could easily ruin a promising player who then might lose out on the opportunity to push on if he comes back to us less of a player than when he left - that said. Selles probably won’t be there come mid-November… | |
