Need lower fans expectations. 23:27 - Aug 6 with 1363 viewsSwans9

So many said top half or on verge of the play offs. I said last week not enough chances on goal and got shot down. What a pre season.

I wouldn’t say that, I’d say we need to put someone in place to match the correct fan expectations.

Lowering our expectations to suit an underperforming manager probably isn’t the best way of going forward.

It’s like saying when Bob Bradley took over, instead of sacking him just lower expectations to a bottom of the table League 2 club so it all seems better.

Not really the way to go about it. Our expectations should align with squad quality and budget in relation to the rest of the league; that would make it top 8 minimum.

If a manager can’t live up to those targets and needs them lowered to bottom of the table fodder then that would suggest the issue is more with the manager than the fans expectations.

My expectation was mid table, that has been sharply lowered after today. What I did expect was improvement and I was clearly foolish to think there would be any, martin is stickingto his plan, his only plan I'd say.

There may be trouble ahead.....

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Look at Martin's record at Swansea and MK Dons. Good wins interspersed with horrendous defeats then wins and draws more big defeats and overall mid table. There is no reason to see this pattern change. This current bad run is out of the ordinary as a long time since the last win.

At some point he must recognise that consistency seems to elude him and his training methods and tactics therefore he has to change his methods to get consistency. The coaching team has weakened probably with Williams going and O'Leary coming in. Fisher Darling and Sorinola were equally inconsistent in league 1.

Can't believe Martin played as a defender 44 scored as mk Dons boss 42 conceded when they finished 13. You look at Cooper or Sousa at times we were hard to score against. Teams can't wait play us now forest 5 reading 4 list goes on.

Lower our expectations? Just to make a fraud of a manager feel better about himself.

I want to hope and dream - isn’t that what being a football fan is all about???

Regarding your second para, I'd certainly hope so, or is he that stubborn/deluded.

I expected us to fight relegation. I say as if we stay with Martin we won’t as he will still play suicide ball .
We can survive this season but sometimes in life you have to admit mistakes and Martin is a colossal one.
Bradley was rightly nobbedcoff but this fella has had far more time to cause us damage

Our feeder club is MK Dons

We may need to revisit the survey done about where people think we will finish at the end of August. I put mid table I too think I need to review that.

Our league goals conceded almost doubled in season 21/22 compared to 20/21. A horrendous stat.

Watching yesterday my expectations have taken a dive from challenging top 6 to hanging onto league status , that's how bad it was . I always try to be positive but that knocked any optomisim I had
