Middlesbrough Away Lost 2 – 1
After the Ipswich defeat, Manager Martin seemed find everyone but himself at fault. Even when he does accept some blame, it somehow gets deflected – witness Holgate-gate after Sunderland when the player was hung out to dry by the coach saying he shouldn’t have picked him. Holgate was back at Middlesbrough, replacing Manning in a […]

Sunderland Away Lost 5 – 0
A promising beginning for Saints at Sunderland, forcing an early corner – but this was a game where we looked so naive tactically, beginning with that set piece. Manager Martin says his players failed to execute a short corner routine correctly, but the very idea of both full backs sorting things out by the flag […]
