I see no idolisation, just a pragmatic view that he can actually achieve what he wants with support.


It doesn’t come across thus ,Keith.
It’s that simple

Fisher,Darling, Sorinola,Laird is that not support


Not really.

I would say Piroe, Cundle, Manning, and Cullen improving during his time at the club is more relevant. I could add Darling and Cabango.

And of course Wood who is a Martin signing. As was Downes.

Hard work Keith.
Can you imagine some of these clowns on here saying what they say on here to the east, or at an away game.
Knocked out in 20 seconds I would say.

Can’t be true, you weren’t there in the flesh… or something.

You can add “cack” to the list of things Martin has been called, you lay claim to that one.

Swansea City v Stoke City : Matchday Thread 22/23 by NotLoyal 19 Feb 2023 11:23
Two managers desperate for something, desperate for wins to ensure they keep their teams in a safer place other than an unsafe place. It could be a better place but probably not because an ‘unbetter’ place isn’t a word. Actually it is.

Factual reporting, displays a consistent lack of bias ?

It is and never has been all roses.

I could put up another ten at least less favourable reports. But that’s the way it is on a website that produces 400 plus articles a year for free. You see they are not general opinions but reports. There is a difference and we have to reflect that.

I’m unsure why you went to these lengths.

Nothing touchy about it.

Just reminding you that the names you list, you leave out the names you called him. I assume it was intentional.

Interesting discussion. Going a bit off topic perhaps but there seems to be two strains of thought on this forum:
- Martin always knew what he was doing, just didn’t have the players to deliver it, now it is all coming together, therefore deserves the adulation he is getting (and always did)
V
- Martin succeeds when he ditches Martinball and lets the players express themselves, as he did in the promotion-form sequence earlier in the season and is doing now. But he has a worrying tendency to revert to his preferred modus operandi after a mauling. If he had a lazy eye and would benefit from a visit to the dentist, he wouldn’t get half the fan worship he attracts

I don’t think I’ll ever like the guy but I am enjoying the football and I am very happy to see the players enjoying themselves too and that’ll do for now.

The four years of history suggest Martin is a "mid table manager" in the mode of Tony Mowbrey with a beard. His CV is patchy with good runs interspersed with very long bad runs with associated hammerings by the better teams.

It is always tempting to think the model and historical precedence has been broken i during each god run ( against weaker teams). So is this particular good run any different from the other good runs seen at Swansea and MK Dons over the last 4 seasons. Has china cup of mediocrity been finally smashed to bits.?

in this logic it does not matter who is signed or sold Swansea end up dragged up or down into mid table with a zero goal difference, This is classical Martinball, designed for statistical excesses and survival in comfort. Stress free land perfect for liberal thinkers and vegans. Stress is bad. Laudrup never understood Stress.

I like to think the So called January 'fiasco' 'disaster' 'shambles' was actually the making of Martin. Those shrewd Americans pulled away the crutch of spending and told Martin to get on with it stop making excuses and "sweat the assets" including the sulkers and malcontents unhappy fringe players. Fisher, Patterson and Whittaker. Obafemi was jettisoned.

If Martin has had the long walk to Damascus and seen the light to consistency and point harvesting efficiency then the omens are good. On the other hand if Martin has not changed and developed just like Wood has, for example, then it will be back to inconsistency again next season with player trading model to blame.
