I can handle losing but stick cooper took he never 7 without a win saying happy build up play 3 down. I feel Martin learned nothing by the last 7 games. Excuses over can't get a tune out of the team.dont want Martin out but 7 without win he needs start blaming his none what so ever tactics why we so flat and keep conceding first in games He changed nothing approach wise in 7 games. |  | | |  |
| For 60m happy with build up. on 10:08 - Dec 18 with 2024 views | Catullus | Some of us have been saying these things on here for ages mate. We had a brief succesful spell, a run of wins but then Martin changed it back and we have suffered this drab, slow stuff again. Martins reactin, as usual, is to blame everything besides his plan, his tactics and his team selections. he even reckoned the Norwich players apologised, yeah of course they did. I reckon they laughed all the way home at our toothless attack and mindnumbing sideways and backwards passing, we made it easy for them. |  |

If he firmly believes that then is no hope. He is seeing ball retention and nothing else. We aren't moving teams about, just allowing them to slowly regroup and press our options. It was so obvious that Allen, Cooper and Oko-flex play at a higher tempo and that allowed the game change. |  | |  |

First 3 names on the team sheet if all three are fit, for me. |  |

That's why we're not managers Only 1-0 down then, so it would be the standard 60 & 75 min changes. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Disagree, at the game it was obvious a change was needed, we had a bright start then petered off as the half wore on, the goals they scored were coming and a change was needed before ht, as you say changes are normally made at 60-75 mins but on this occasion they should have been done at ht as the players in that system were clearly not working. |  | |  |

We were getting battered mate. Subs should have been made at half time. |  | |  |
| For 60m happy with build up. on 12:22 - Dec 18 with 1811 views | Treforys_Jack | The truly worrying thing is RM has spent all his life around football and was a high level defender, why can't he see what blindingly obvious to most of the fans and pundits, or is it simply a case of arrogant stubbornness. Do the owners think that possession wins football matches. As someone said earlier, he stumbled on a side and formation that actually won football matches, but less possession, but he's switched it back and we've gone seven games without a win. We should be knocking on the PL door with this squad and I truly believe that. |  | |  |

Agree see my post above. So obvious but at 1-0 RM thinks settle the second half down and make the standard textbook 60 & 75 minute changes. It should be proactive. |  | |  |

It's ass backwards, we should be trying to win the first half then play this keep ball nonsense in the second. We can't keep letting the oppo have the lead and hope to pick up many points. Even if we do as I suggest, try to win the first half, we should still be more positive in the second and look to kill games off. When Joe, Oli and Oko-Flex are on we look dangerous, we look lively and we make the oppo suffer. Is it only Martin, his coaching team and the owners who can't see that? There is stacks of evidence. Maye his coaching team don't say anything in case they get shipped out! |  |

He’s here to hold us back so Norwich get a clear run at the play offs |  |

Your first paragraph is spot on, we all said the same before the game, you are totally wrong with your second paragraph, the thousand plus who were there yesterday don't think so but there will be a few who want him out but I suspect its the same ar every club, no matter how well the club is doing there will be desenters. |  | |  |

I'm not so sure the second para is totally wrong. I'm sure the majority still have hope. it will all come down how we are doing in the league after new year. If we are still on the fringes of the play offs then people will still lay off him but f we slide inexorably down the table the tide will definitely turn. My big book of cliches is going to bed now! |  |

Ntcham is our best player at the moment (in my humble opinion) |  | |  |

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
