I suspect it will all come to a head semi final week.

Inept results leading up to that week will heap pressure on him.

Bad defeat/strange selection for the Derby and defeat in the semi final will be the final straw in my eyes.

The pressure from the fans will be too much.

I never look forward to the derby, horrible games.

This derby i am proper dreading though....
 

I've heard Jags led the players off the pitch after a dismal second half yesterday. And then there was a round of booing in the dressing room.
Or something.
 
surely if this was the case these 'tweets' would have appeared last week?

just a thought like...

yeah i agree mate, i thought it was weird that i hadn't heard any other rumblings other then what a few other passing comments at the match.

no idea if true or not.
 

It's scary because if we lose our next 3 games we could find ourselves in 17th. Still mathematically possible for us to get relegated.

If we lose to Watford there's no excuse.
 
What I cannot get my head around is some of the absurd individual mistakes we've seen at the back under Martinez.
Such a large collection of brain farts, for what are supposed to be amongst the best professional players in the game.
I suggest whatever happens with the manager we get in a top sports psychologist to do some mentality and focus work with the players.
Success is driven by mentality, the best teams are focused and have strategies to refocus when that focus is lost or when setbacks occur on the pitch.
Case in point the most consistently best sporting team in the world in the All Blacks did a lot of work around this area with Blue and Red light thinking, employing in game strategies to refocus so that they are at the top of their game so that when crucial events happen, they don't make errors.

There is a serious mental fragility issue with this team, if we concede a goal we are so prone to concede another within the next 5-10 minutes.
The team and coaching staff need to set up strategies to stop this happening, i.e. play risk adverse passes for the next 5-10 minutes, getting people behind the ball and pressing hard to win the ball back.
We see this again and again when defending leads, there's no common sense where senior players and management are saying, "just hold onto the ball, play it safe as we don't need to take risks. Lose it, you win it back asap, don't give them the time to apply pressure".
We're a possession team, we no doubt do this all the time in training, why is it such a hard thing to do?

Lad Sir Roberto doesn't need an excuse but just in case

72 points, 2 cup runs

Yearh lets keep him then because he got 72 points in his first season. We've got to a semi of one cup and were in another. Let's egnore the facts that we've gone backwards, and the results now show change is needed.

But hey Bobby in and all that.....

Jesus wept
