Thread | Don’t let your backside hit the door on your way out Russell Martin.
at 22:19 23 Apr 2024
I posted on April 2 after the Ipswich defeat that Sports Republic should roll the dice and sack him with Steve Cooper as his replacement.
Had they done so we would still be in the automatic promotion race. They didn’t, and it’s now plain to see that the players have given up on him and his ridiculous, ineffective, tippy tappy possession based nonsense.
Even if by some absolute fluke we win the playoffs I don’t want him to remain in charge.With his style of play, no plan B and ludicrous use of substitutes we would end up with less points than Derby when they last played in The Premiership. |

Thread | Utterly pathetic management as automatic promotion thrown away.
at 17:29 20 Apr 2024
Despite 62% possession whilst playing tippy tappy, sideways and backwards football we managed to lose today to a Cardiff team decimated by injuries, without their two best strikers and fielding a bunch of school kids.
Once again our idiot manager couldn’t get his players to defend a lead and made reactive rather than proactive substitutions. He’s done the same all season long and has learned nothing.
When are the owners going to realise that Russell Martin is part of the problem rather than the solution? Having said that I don’t hold out much hope given that for their part this week they have managed to upset a large proportion of season ticket holders with a ridiculous plan to install safe standing next season. |

Thread | ROLL THE DICE SPORTS REPUBLIC, SACK MARTIN AND HIRE STEVE COOPER NOW.
at 08:07 2 Apr 2024
With Russell Martin in charge our last eight games have resulted in us dropping fourteen points from twenty four available, proving that at the business end of the season he failed to obtain automatic promotion for us.
With his tippy tappy style of play, no plan B, constant tinkering with team selection and ridiculous use of substitutes it’s now obvious to every man and his dog that he will not succeed in getting us back to the Premiership through the Playoffs either.
There are eight games remaining in nearly a month and plenty of matches and time to hire someone who has a proven track record of successfully negotiating the Playoffs. Someone who will install a different method of play altogether and reinstate some discipline and belief in the players.
Jason Willcox has departed and now is the time for Russell Martin to go also.
With a late season fresh start and given the quality of our squad we can be playing Premiership football in August if decisive action is taken now. |

Thread | Russell Martin.Do the decent thing and resign before the Playoffs.

After this evening’s utterly pathetic result ( we had 65% possession,17 shots and 7 corners annd couldn’t even draw ) against an Ipswich team of absolute nobodies, its time for you to go Russell.
You’ve managed to drop 14 points out of the last 24 points available despite being in control of a squad containing:-
1. A Polish International centre back.
2. A centre back who with Burnley managed to gain automatic promotion from The Championship last season.
3. Two forwards who have each held the record for most goals scored in previous Championship Seasons.
4. A full back regarded as the best in The Championship who for reasons known only to yourself you dropped today.
5. A midfield of players all of which have Premiership experience with Saints and other Premiership teams.
It’s now abundantly clear that you simply don’t have the knowledge or motivational ability to take our club to success through the Playoffs route. The supporters deserve the chance of a quick return to the Premiership and you aren’t the manager to provide it.

Sack the Ball Kidds, eject your own supporters from the Stadium for making a noise and fail to organise a tribute to a former player and Club manager who served with distinction before passing on with dementia.
What has happened to our Club which previously prided itself in doing things “ The Right Way” ?
In all my years of supporting the club beginning in the 1960s I’ve never felt more detached, disheartened and disgusted with the Owners and their management than I do this evening.
