Roberto Martinez discussion

[ianefc]

I've finished work now and am going the pub to watch the game and am really looking forward to it. Wednesday's semi final second leg at City can't come quick enough. Booked a hotel as soon as the semi final draw was made, trains booked and could only manage to get a ticket in their end, but I'm not missing that game. Anyway, off to the pub.

COYB.

First season 5th
Second season 11th
Currently - we'll see after today

If Robles had played all season we would now be minimum 7/8 points better off. No question in my mind. That'd have us about 5th/6th right now.

What point are you trying to make here? If anything you're making a case against Martinez's judgement here.

Still sticking with Howard

Fuming

You could go a season unbeaten and be relegated with 38 points. The facts are at present we're going backwards under him.

I hope he's got enough about him to turn It around.

How is it going backwards? In three of the seasons under Moyes before he left we were bottom half after 22 games.

So how is this going backwards?

 

[davek]

But we could get a result in every game and still potentially be relegated.
We don't need "results", we need to win and put points on the board.

Three point today and we're a win away from 6th.

1 win in 9 and that was against an utterly abject Newcastle side.

What does the Bottom Half Bungler have for us today I wonder

Yes I'm aware Dave. But that notwithstanding requires us to win, and win regularly in order to move up the table.
This group is more than capable of that if they get their act together.

We don't get points for cup games though, so for you to use them when arguing about league placings is both invalid and irrelevant.

They're matches with resuts up for grabs. How are they irrelevant?

I'm thinking a solid win. I have a feeling for 3-1

We don't get points from them Dave.
Separate competitions and all that...

5-0 for me, Swansea are utter plop

The Argentine Alcaraz by the looks of things

 

[Caolam]

One win in nine is a damming statistic. Today starts the climb up the table

We're talking about results. Since when do we not include results from all competitions?
