Will there be more tolerance towards Russell Martin ? 18:21 - Oct 25 with 2840 viewsKeithHaynes

If the next two away games are lost ?
Personally I can’t see it, but Preston away next Tuesday is never easy.

When I say tolerance I’m referring to the actual losses, if they occur. The way we lose, or even how unlucky team are isn’t that important. Has RM got enough in the bank to ride out two defeats before the next home game ?

We are due another draw, maybe even have enough for a win as well. But this run has to end, disregarding Burnley of course.

A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

So second in the form table, 4th in the actual table and he can't coach effectively?
Guess some are hard to please


You were slagging Cooper off when we were 3rd and continued to say things about him when having the best season in Forests recent history.

What’s the difference?

Other than most of Martin’s career being pretty underwhelming of course…

It is October 28th.
October.

Fourth in May would be ok ,second better still.

He has the talent

Less perfect goal worlocks and quit the suicide defensive stuff and we can challenge for the top.

Im assuming he is ambitious and wants to coach in Prem League

Poll: Christmas. Enjoyable or not

The trouble is that Russell when he took over he had lost 4 of the play off final players excluded both Fulton and later in his first season had lost a sixth in Bidewell.
While he had a number of signings for the forwards and midfield included players injured, injury prone, unfit and a player over 30 who was desperate to get the best deal for himself at the expensive of the team?
That left us with a defence of Bennett he eventually wouldn't or couldn't use, loanees Williams which he played out of position and Burns, who he did not trust.
Manning who is now a far better player than he was but struggled as a part of a back three
Naughton whose experience helped but is still found out by his lack of pace
Latibeaudie lack of stature to play in a back three
Cabango who still being playedin a position where is not as effective.
A defence lacking in pace and stature to play a back three,
As shown against Bournemouth when Cabango was lost
A defence if played as a back four could it cope,
No right back with pace.
Our defence was at least poor
Not a good foundation to build a team on, no matter how much he tried to change the players around.
Did he make mistakes last year yes but our defence could be breached at will.
This year two new young defenders, same problems yes but did those players need to time to settle in.
We seem to have a better foundation to build towards the future.
