| After 18 games on 23:53 - Nov 29 with 1643 views | ReslovenSwan1 | Martin has a much stronger squad in my opinion. I am struggling to see how the 13 new players have managed to make the squad significantly weaker. The first port of call is a forward of power and strength. A focal point. |  |

Then he got us within a whisker of the play offs, despite no signings in January. I don’t think Duff will get us anywhere near the play offs. Hope I am wrong. |  |

With Weds drawing with the top team and Hudds winning, relegation should be on our minds . We are easy to play against Don’t believe the BS the likes of Farke says about our captain. They know taking him out gives them chances |  |

We won’t get relegated. Duff will go if we’re under serious threat deep into the season. Our squad is nowhere near relegation calibre. The way he has us playing at the moment is. |  | |  |

Better Clubs than ourselves thought they wouldn't get relegated and yet. It looks to me that yet again the background noise from within is causing on field issues |  |

Big match on Saturday against a team we need to be beating. If we can't beat the likes of Huddersfield at home then yes we are a struggling side. If we don't win it will be two home wins in ten matches, yes that is relegation form. Hopefully we can win, start to get a couple of injured players back and kick on. At this moment to ignore a possible relegation battle is foolish. |  | |  |

The next 3 are our easiest run of games for a while. Would want to see us come away with 6pts at least. If not it'll be very telling for which way our season is going. |  |

Absolutely it’s relegation form. What I meant was, if we’re in and around the bottom three with 10-12 games left, Duff will be out and we’ll pick up enough points to be above the likes of Huddersfield, Rotherham and Wednesday. We are where we are because of the way we’re playing, not because of the players we have. |  | |  |

Yeah it makes you wonder why he couldn't get the best out of those same players during those 20 plus games. Seems a few are not hoping you are not wrong & waiting to say told you so because they had some man crush on Martin. |  | |  |

Martin ruined players .we were lucky to get shot. Sadly,Duff is cursed with bad luck or bad practice or both. The players acquired are a regression . Martins legacy is one of bitterness and division amongst fans and players still under his spell. Witness last night a repeat of suicide passing and lack of basics of the game . We need a complete clear out but it won’t happen and in the meantime,we simply stiffen the battle lines between fans . Martin had “ charm” ,Duff has not. In fact he is the original grey man . Hardly an inspiration . Merry Christmas |  |

It’s not bad luck. He stubbornly persisted with a negative system that brought us our worst start since the nineties for the first two months. Then he changed it to a more adventurous style that brought results and performances for a while, but gradually managed to inject more and more dourness into our play, whilst maintaining the same formation to get us where we are now. Kukharevych not given much of a chance in a system made for him and Fulton seemingly now ahead of Patino in the pecking order sum it up. It was time for Martin to move on, but so far at least, it looks like we’ve downgraded. |  | |  |

Well, he s had bad luck with his physical striker going down long term and his speedster Ginnelly out for the whole campaign so yes,bad luck . Having said that , he does do some done things As regards the former coach ,his name pops up as his damage inflicted on the club still remains . It does so when fans clearly bitch about Duff then pine for Martin . We needed a footballing enema more than compensation |  |

What if that all did happen? How can you guarantee a new manager would keep us up? What if the new manager was even worse? No club is too good to get relegated, it's not that log ago Man City and Chelsea weren't in the top tier, Newcastle too. |  | |  |

Let’s be quite clear on that, just because Duff is drastically underachieving, that doesn’t mean Martin did a good job. He didn’t. 61 and 66 points aren’t great returns, especially with a 20 goal a season striker. Duff wasn’t picking Kukharevych. Completely agree that we may have been a different prospect with Ginelly at his disposal. We don’t have that option and he hasn’t adapted. |  | |  |

I can’t guarantee it, but I’d be absolutely gobsmacked if a halfway competent manager couldn’t get this squad above the likes of the teams I mentioned in 10 games. I don’t think anyone can seriously argue he’s getting anywhere near the potential of this group of players. I really thought he’d turned it round when we won four in a row, but we really haven’t kicked on and he hasn’t reacted. Maybe Bolasie. Gives us another dimension. |  | |  |

When you reflect Martin had real firepower to work with. Obafemi Piroe Ntcham Whittaker Joseph. Patterson All gone except Pato. He fell out with three of them which is some sort of record. That is top 6. He did not because of his defensive woes. |  |

You can put asterisks alongside a few of those names. I agree though, Piroe did exceptionally. Decent returns from Ntcham and Cullen, especially as neither was a guaranteed starter. Not enough behind that. It doesn’t have to be team Martin v team Duff on here. Martin underachieved, Duff is underachieving. They aren’t competing against each other. |  | |  |
