Anyone else think Russell Martin will be laying in to the players tomorrow ? 15:20 - Mar 17 with 1069 viewsKeithHaynes

He’s definitely not happy, and let’s be honest these mistakes last night and at Blackpool can’t be put down to him, these are professional footballers and it’s all they do day in day out. Nobody can tell me Naughtons clearance was him trying to play to Martin’s style. Plus smith getting knocked off the ball in midfield for the first. And the goal on Saturday ? Was that as a result of our passing game ?

These players need to wake up more than Martin.

If a reliable member of a team starts making errors, it's usually for one of three reasons:
- their focus is wrong
- they don't understand what they are supposed to do
- they are not the right person for the job
Most of that IS down to the manager, to be fair

Dont agree
The whole team faff about and gets itself into trouble.
In those defensive dander areas we are appalling and the players clearly play tippy tappy.This cannot be of tbeir choice surely. Most defenders by nature imply boot the ball safe. We do not.

That is 100% down to Martin.


He should be looking at himself and how he selects the team and what tactics they employ.

We seem to lose focus in every game after half-time, maybe he should say less?

I thought his mantra was that if they make a mistake trying to play at the back then that’s on the coaching team? I think the goalkeeping coach recently was bumping his gums on Twitter about that too. It irked me he was blissfully ignoring the frequency of them and the huge impact it is having on us.

I can’t imagine it would go down too well to be given the hairdryer treatment when you are told to play dangerous football at the back and it goes wrong. They go hand in hand.

These mistakes aren’t unlucky and aren’t a coincidence. They follow Martin around because they are a product of the system he insists on playing.

Before kick off my prediction was “2-1 win Obafemi X2 and a defensive gift for them” - turns out it was 3-2 Obafemi X2 and a defensive gift for them… it’s not because I’m Nostradamus, it’s because these things are a pattern and entirely predictable.

That’s down to Martin.

Would he say what he put in place last season is working this season ?

Not at all, they don’t play the same way.

They are far more direct and moved away from suicidal football.

It’s very easy to take credit for someone else’s achievements. He was there for a season and a half and didn’t get higher than 13th. The second he leaves and a new manager sorts what wasn’t working then they suddenly get the league position to reflect their squad.

They have around 57% possession now, under Martin they had 64%. Their shots are way up and their pass numbers down.

The new manager is doing what we have suggested, taken focus off possession and pass numbers and instilled direct football.

- edit realised you said would “he” say so… yeah I think he has already alluded to it.

Thanks boss, debate is always the key to a thriving forum

It is a really frustrating season for me to be honest.

On a side note, just doing some comparison work around MK dons reigns.

Want to know a shocking stat?

MK Dons this season have passed the ball around 2000 times less at this point of the season than under Martin. 2000??!
