Or maybe people just think he's a bit crap and we could do better.

To be honest mate, it probably comes down to fans wanting to hear a little bit of honesty from him. Not a case of jumping on every word, but just hearing him say, we have been poor, I need to change our approach to games. Just anything to essentially put the blame on himself and have accountability for the season, that is all fans want to see from him.
Remember these are the same fans who he blamed for poor league form at home.

Well there's a bit of naivety there. The manager isn't solely responsible for everything the players do out on the pitch, and the players don't follow the instructions given to them down to the tee. I'd highly doubt Martinez was telling the players not to close down crosses, they're our weak point in defending, and for the sake of Martinez, I have some hope that he can see that.

Then why don't we?
Why have we not closed down crosses for large parts of the season?
Semi final. Uses the excuse that none of the other semi finalists have won either.
Disagree. It is a sport and yes sport is entertainment. It is not a soap opera, if people wanted to watch a soap opera they would turn on their tv.
If people choose to watch football good for them, if they want to participate in a forum dedicated to their team of choice then that is also their choice. I think its quite condescending stating `its being sold to them` of course it is. Do you think you are telling us something new? Something we do not know? Some choose to buy a ticket, season ticket or subscribe to a sport channell, free will ..... and a forum provides a platform for people to participate in ........ or not if that is what they choose
Why do you assume you are telling us something new, that we do not allready know and choose to make up our own minds up over ?
If you see it as `utter nonsense` then good for you, but a lot of us disagree.
Perhaps you should throw away your telly, computer, and go and live in a cabin in the woods, you could then write a book about
the `ills of society`as it has not been done before.............
Gordon Lee's time with us wasn't as bad as some make out. A league cup final, 2 FA cup semi - finals,77/78 season we finished 3rd and were also the top goalscorers that season as well. 78/79 season we finished 4th, think it was more down to his dourness that make some fans think we were really crap when he was with us.
He can't handle pressure, its the sign of a man who has cracked and he his struggling. We once had a proud team who would fight till the last minute for this club, yes we underperformed at times but the players knew it and didn't hide the next game.
I feel like he has ripped the heart out of this club, the fighting spirit that we once had is no more, 11 individuals who are trying to play this mythical way and its not working and yet the manager is unable or unwilling to rectify it/
The last 2 season have been a sham; he should have been sacked after those Hull comments last year, then he goes onto blame the fans, the players everyone but himself. He's built his team and the football on offer is awful; like Wigan, we look good one in every five.
