Confirmed: Russell Martin has been sacked

And Clasie/ Big Vic/Romeu rotation after Morgan left?

 

Yeah I know. Sigh. I know.

 

How did we line up under Puel? Just Romeu with JWP ahead of him?

 

Mad isn’t it. Especially with our attacking talent in this league which is superior to most teams except 3 or 4.

He doesn’t even try and be more solid when we are winning a game in the final minutes.

Just be solid at the back and let the forwards do their thing. Instead of playing suicide ball and inviting so much pressure onto ourselves. Sigh

 

Romeu was the lone DM at the base of the diamond, if I recall?

 

I posted this in the Championship thread but it belongs here:

We have lost 24 points from winning positions and gained 9 from losing positions.

Our capacity to change matches equals a deficit of 15 points.

Ipswich have gained 32 and lost 8.
Leeds have gained 24 and lost 4.
Leicester have gained 15 and lost 8.

So all the other teams have changed results in their favour during the season. Ipswich are up 24 points. Leeds up 20. Leicester up 7. We are down 15.

We have game managed ourselves 22 points worse than our nearest competitor - Leicester.

 

Martin out now.

 

I’m officially out. Give him the playoffs as too disruptive to sack now.

Those stats from loading are shocking. His fine run of form masked the problems

 

Still in the "not sack him now" camp.

 

Happy if he walks at full time

 

We’d be screwed if we kept him even if he navigated us through the playoffs. His system with our quality of player will be annihilated in the PL. Would need to be a ruthless Adkins style situation. But we are going to be going into the playoffs with no form or confidence.

 

Get rid at the end of the season. Bring in a positive manager who wants to play a form of aggressive football that gets the atmosphere going

 

I think he’s done. Don’t think I want him in the Prem. Don’t think we will get there with him mind.

 

Someone front footed and aggressive. Someone statistically the best in Europe.

 

I can see no way he is going to either set the the team up properly or motivate them to get through a playoff semi, let alone a final. That being the case, get rid now. The Leeds game is meaningless, let the new manager have that to try things out before the important stuff starts.

 

Interesting. I get the rational.

 

Maybe us and Leeds should swap managers for the playoffs, for a laugh.

 

I don’t even know how we can have ****ed this season up so badly.

What a waste.

Have to hope that the players have just been taking it easy trying to avoid injuries and will turn up for the playoffs.

 

Is he still here?…….get gone please.

 

Leeds have lost 4 points from leading positions all season. All season they have not lost if leading. That is a manager I would happily take into playoffs.
