The guy is a myth, one or two lucky cup runs in his career doesn't change the fact his teams are always struggling in the bottom half of the table and leaking comical amounts of goals.

The guy can't win. We go on a cup run and its deemed lucky, but he still had to beat the teams in front of him, wouldn't you rather want an easier draw in every round of every competition than the hardest team left? Of course.

Although I have been firmly in the Plotters camp since Arsenal, I never bothered changing my vote on account of I still hoped against hope he would turn it round.

Tonight I have made my own futile gesture of protest by changing my vote to "out".

I see I am not alone in this.....because there were 444 In voters just before I changed my vote.

Now there are only 442.

Who else changed their vote this evening....:)

But people give him credit for that luck of the draw.

It's as if "beat the teams in front of him" somehow equates Carlisle with Barcelona

If he hadn't beaten Carlisle or Dagenham he'd be long gone

The only bonus today was the performance of the 2 young lads.
Even that is slightly tainted as I am convinced it was done by Martinez so the crowd wouldn't boo

(Oh 5 on Funes mori at 50/1 for 1st goal was nice too)

First one was forced, second sub was because he bottled it or Lukaku didn't fancy it, I'm all for giving the youngsters a go but deffo feel he stitched the lad up today.

If we sacked him now, the next week will be exiting and buzzing, seeing how the players react etc, as it is, we're going to a Derby and a semi final like we're trying to play snooker with a rope, and we'll sack him after that, weird.

Well this is my concern - the biggest problem is the Derby. I think with a week from now we'd be able to regroup (fans and players) and get up for next week

What will actually happen is we'll probably get an absolute spanking on Wednesday (which would itself have likely been his last game if we hadn't got to the semi final 3 days later) and then that'll destroy confidence for Saturday where we obviously need to keep him as its only 3 days between them. He should be gone now.

If we lose the two games this week in the manner I honestly expect, and he takes charge against Bournemouth I'll be absolutely furious

Exactly. Yeah, he beat the teams in front of him. But we lost in the Carling Cup to the first decent team we faced. And again we avoided any difficult teams in the FA cup even tho we needed extra time to progress in more than one.
