Goldilock manager. Not to hot not too cold. 15:42 - Dec 28 with 719 viewsReslovenSwan1

Russ Martin is a 'goldilocks manager' in the same ilk as Tony Mowbray. The phrase will be familiar to s sophisticated forum dwellers. Planet earth is in the "goldilock" zone in the solar system which allows life. Not too hot and not too cold.

Too good to get sacked too often

Not good enough to be poached.

If Martin was top 6 right now he would be sitting in the hot desk at Carrow Road with a chunky transfer budget to discus porridge recipes with the celebrity chef.

Guidolin was a goldilocks manger. Good but not too good and a b bit too old for the PL rivals.

Swansea had stacks of chances v Reading but did not take them. Coopers miss was unforgivable. It was straight at the keeper. If it was in training it was in the corner. Piroe would have had two in last seasons form. Swansea have been trained to aim the shot at the centre of the goal it seems. Not so easy with headers but Darling again straight to the centre.

Martin will stay at least to the end of the season. Compared to last season the stats are in Swansea favour. The much maligned Cullen at least hits the net and an eagle eyed finisher. Swansea are at least creating v changes in proportion to their possession. Big rough lads eager to do the dirty stuff are found all over the lower leagues. Flynn had the same problem and brought in big Kevin Austin.

Wise sage since Toshack era

I like to offer a bit of variety to the daily durge of monotone moaning, Martin offers a consistent approach and time to develop compared with the hop on / hop off appointments of the past. Why not a manager for 4-5 seasons?

If Martin actually acted on his own logic he would do better. He keeps signing lightweights then complains they have no beef. Patterson, Sorinola, Stevens, Laird, teenage Burns Cundle etc. Where are the players "to do the horrible stuff".

Style over substance up to now. No obvious progress after 18 months. The team needs more Christie and less Sorinola. .

The norm from him is to hand out contracts worth tens of millions and get no return. That’s us knackered.

You're right about one thing , he is consistent
