Russell Martin has said he isn’t going to change his style of play. End of.
He’s in a win/win scenario. He does well with us he jumps ship to a bigger club. He fails. He gets his contract paid off and waits for another job, should he want one.
Shea Charles has found his level. Championship. Northern Ireland are a Championship level side.
Cornet has been mentioned and along with Ugochukwu have been disastrous signings. As Nick says in the article we may of well kept Edozie. We may as well of kept Charles too as Ugochukwu is no better. Then the two loan spots could of been used for a more important position, Centre Forward.
Archer is useless playing with his back to goal. A Centre Forward who can play that way and hold the ball up was required. Something that Che Adams COULD do.
Yes. Russell Martin’s style of play would probably work with Man City’s world class players. It just doesn’t work with a team of 10 Championship standard players in the Premier League. 11 whilst Ramsdale is injured.
I thought the boycott was for the Liverpool cup game not the league game? The midweek game would be better as you could save £34 on the ticket plus travel costs and time off work if required.
And Nick just to clarify, We need 8 £30m + players to play the Russell Martin way. Possession football. Aribo, Downes and Smallbone ain’t the answer.
If we played ‘normally’ then maybe we’d of had/have a chance of staying up with these players. Definitely need a Centre Forward though. Archer is useless with his back to goal.
I can’t see us getting a point anytime soon playing this way with these players.
It will be interesting to see what happens with a World Class manager in charge. For all the midfield and attacking talent we still do not have a stand out Centre Back and when Luke Shaw is injured, a Left Back.
Even if we win the World Cup in 2026 there will still be people moaning about it. Probably because Tunchel didn’t sing the national anthem. He is German, why would he?
Ramsdale would probably be the only player courted by other PL sides. KWP seems to have gone to shit. Doesn’t help when being played Left Back with no left foot. He’ll be off on a free the end of the season.
I had high hopes for Downes but the odd half decent game here and there. THB and Dibling would probably be picked up in the hope of the developing well.
A few of them maybe signed as squad players when we get relegated but that’s about it.
And the 2 loan signings! Christ what a fúck up that was. Cornet who had a half decent season for Burnley ages ago and Ugochukwu. He’s no better than Shea Charles and that’s saying something. We wasted those two spots f’sure.
How Martin is still in a job is baffling. 11 games and 4 points. At any other club he’d of been gone last Monday after the Wolves debacle. Thanks for getting us promoted but it’s not working. We’ll pay you until your contract runs out or you get another Championship gig. Off you pop on holibobs somewhere warm with Lucy.
