| Russell Martin accused by Blackpool Gazette : You are bizarre ‘Comments examin on 12:55 - Mar 14 by Flynnidine_Zidownes | It really winds me up when we brilliantly beat the press, take 6 of their players out of the game, have their defence back pedalling then slow it down and go back again giving the opposition time to reorganise. It must happen ten times a game. |
Genuine question, is that he players or the manager that's to blame? |  | |  |

If I may interject. If Martin sends a team out and make obvious errors,say first half,then his half time team talk should address the said errors . It’s the same with tactics. If they are wrong,adapt. Pointless losing games just because of a template that has to be adhered to. It is all about winning games. Winning games attracts |  |

It’s obviously a bit of both. Kristian o Leary mentioned it a lot on Saturday about players making the wrong decision. Nobody on the sidelines can control what a player does in that moment but then if they are training all week just to keep the ball it becomes second nature. Most of the goals we concede are because of glaring individual mistakes. But there seems to be an acceptance of these, almost a condoning. The players have to take responsibility too. |  | |  |

Blackpool’s goal was unforgivable, some of the fans footage on you tube before the cross went in were shooting that Madine was free. Then when the cross went in the same. Then when he scored. If a few young kids on the sidelines can see it why can’t a ten grand a week and more professional footballer pick up on it. |  |

What amazes me is what is going on in traininig apart from brainwashing the players into the useless tactics. We are conceding goals at set pieces for fun and cannot convert chances from our set pieces 7 months into his tenure and all Martin has achieved is to get up top of the possession table Lets stop blaming players shall we though yes the experienced ones should spot this but yet again we have no real leadership on the pitch as wekk as on the sidelines |  |

Keith. I’m confused. That which you post of things as they are now is exactly how I feel. It is also reflecting in your excellent match reports,SO,how the hell can you be positive and back Martin long term. Sacking him is a necessarily as soon as we are mathematically safe. Make no mistake, we can lose to Posh. We could lose to Dover Athletic if we play as we do . |  |

I can understand them not marking him tightly if he’s beyond the far post. The two who went to challenge him were held back by another player and this blocked cabango too. It was clearly a foul and if VAR was in play it wouldn’t have stood. And without the foul it would have been dealt with and he wouldn’t have had a free unopposed header. But O”Leary again on commentary made another good point in that the two players being manhandled should have done a lot more to escape the players clutches or at least gone down to force the ref into a decision. The lack of effort on their part was shocking. |  | |  |

I suppose it could be argued that had they not scored it may have been a different game. However I didn't have the feeling we would have scored anyway, where as had they been forced to attack a bit more they may have scored two or three ? I think the foul is a legitimate excuse to cover up poor defending and a very disappointing performance |  |

| Russell Martin accused by Blackpool Gazette : You are bizarre ‘Comments examin on 17:08 - Mar 13 by KeithHaynes | Well, that’s what Martin aspires to, so let’s hope he has the plans in place to implement it. Hence the reason he needs time. |
Few clubs in the world have the budget to sign the players he needs. Even then I wouldn't be sure that his tactics would work. Passing slowly and meaninglessly across a static defence doesn't work no matter how good your players are. He is a really bad football manager with a huge ego |  | |  |

That's where I am at the moment I think. His tactics are horrific, even if he was given the job of managing Man City and he adopted these tactics, they would have no chance of winning the league and would probably have their lowest league finish since the money came into them. No width, slow passing around the back, no long or direct balls. It would be painful to watch the Man City fan's reaction. Although player power would no doubt have it's way and force him out within weeks. We play nothing like Man City, we play nothing like anyone I have ever seen. They aren't good tactics, they are terrible and completely flawed. Having a possession based game doesn't mean it's the same as other clubs' possession based games. They come in a variety of examples, this is by far the worst one I have ever seen, and am sure am ever likely to see. It literally makes no sense. |  |

He is convinced that after the games everyone tells him how hard it was for them. I laughed when they said that. Reminds me of a boxing match when someone has been pummeled to within an inch of their life from the first bell to the last and the one who dished it out calls them a warrior and says it was a tough fight, while he doesn't have a mark on him. |  |

it's getting harder and harder to deny that last sentence. He refuses to even consider he could be wrong despite the evidence. The rest of it I agree with 100% The oppo don't have to park a bus, we give them time to build a brick wall and for the cement to dry. |  |

Why on earth do some twps take so long for the penny to drop. The naïve mantra of the twps : 'In the manager we trust'. Defenceless, sheeple speak. No doubt these types will be predicting a Playoff place should we steal a win against the bottom placed team on Wednesday. Seriously: how does it take so very long for some passive fans here to see the reality of the dire football played by brand Martin ? |  |

If referees start paying attention to grappling in the box we'll be in trouble, Cabango's got a fist full of shirt every time. |  | |  |

The club have brought in several new players this season, in fact I would say the most for many a year. I know we lost players but a lot of them were nowhere near the 1st team. How many more does he need to play this boring, mind numbing football. My take on Russ is his ego is much bigger than his talent. |  | |  |

I've said that since he made his debut, he's been very lucky so far is all I'll say. |  | |  |
