With a variety of changes happening at the club at the end of last season Martin found himself surplus to requirements of new Chairman, Andrew Coleman including a variety of other changes.

Time for action now. A new manager is needed and needs to be in place yesterday. I don’t care how it affects him bur Grimes needs to be stripped of the captaincy. Shocking, truly shocking.
Oh, and in case it’s not been said enough, we need some pace in January but I’m wondering if we’ll get anyone at all. A couple of ‘ones for the future’ maybe😡 |  |

Just sad. Very sad. But slightly inevitable.
Russell has sent a clear message to our owners today. | | | |

Manager needs sorting out ASAP. How you can have KOL.and Anthony Wright on the bench is beyond me. | | | |

unless the manager is sorted urgently we will be in a fight to avoid going down, and its all down to our owners not backing our last 2 managers am sorry to say we can not expect anything else we are a complete shambles | | | |

It isnt a manager we need, its players, this game should make people realise that the owners have kept their promise, we are 100% at the next level, soton are a different level to us, there is only one way we are going and that's down. |  | | |

Think it was HJ who said the Americans would take us to the next level, just didn't say it it was next level up or down. | | | |

I hope there is a better plan in place for Coventry on Friday evening otherwise we could easily have another hammering. | | | |

I agree we need players and I’m concerned as to whether we’ll get any. But we still need a manager. At the moment, no one knows where they stand but a new man will hopefully shake things up. Starting with Grimes I hope.
I don’t anticipate any signings, if any, until late in the window whatever so we’ve a month if this to go in my opinion. | |

Bench Grimes
Priority
He brings nothing but pain
Couldn't we use the experience of Naughton ?
The reasons are right in our faces | |

Not 100% sure we do need any players, think we have decent players, the tactics and team selection is so poor, so slow.and negative. That is down to coaching. Never seen a side break so many times then turn back and 10secs later the ball is back in our final third.
If you play Jerry, then you have to play the big Ukranian lad, you simply cannot play Grimes and Fulton together, why was Harry Darling dropped. Jamal is not a winger, I could go on and on ..... | | | |

A loss can be put down to management, bad tactics etc , but a 5 nil drubbing is down to inferior players | | | |

Naughton is a difficult one. When he’s picked there’s groans all around but his experience maybe essential in the right games. Was that today? I don’t know.
Grimes. Off you pop! Drop him if only to give him a reason to try harder next time he plays. | |

I simply cannot believe that people are still sticking up for the owners after the slide over the last few years, especially the last few months when we have turned into relegation candidates.
Never mind what you wish for re owners, what about what you wish for where it matters on the bloody pitch as its going downhill at a rate of knots. | | | |
