And look where he is now. Agreed. |  |

Ethan Laird on 14:50 - Jul 1 with 3240 views | Badlands | Could turn it on for 5 minutes a game but did little the rest of the time and routinely called for a pass then ran away from it making midfield and defenders look poor. |  |

Ethan Laird on 15:15 - Jul 1 with 3218 views | Joesus_Of_Narbereth | He’s another victim of the role he was forced to play as a sort of advanced non defensive wing back cum wide striker |  |

Ethan Laird on 10:08 - Jul 2 with 3045 views | sw02sea | After an initial good start, he faded and looked frightened to actually take a man on. It’s like with any young player learning his craft, there’s going to be confidence issues, but if he could regain that early good form, there will be opportunities there for him. |  | |  |

Ethan Laird on 12:54 - Jul 2 with 2914 views | SullutaCreturned | I thought he looked good when he first arrived but he faded badly. In the end he was ony giving us a good 5-10 minutes and yes, I blame the manager. That process he kept sticking to was rubbish unless you have owners like Sheikh Mansour who will spend hundreds of millions on the very best players. I honestly think Southampton will regret signing Martin. I think their fans will very soon get bored and angry with possession for the sake of it. However, if Martin has learned from his time here and goes with the style we played those last 9 games then they COULD be good. I just doubt it. It'll be the Emperors new clothes again.

HE will have to adapt or he will be screwed. They won’t be as patient as we were. If they lose games because of his possession obsession, the pressure will be infinitely greater as their fans won’t swallow the “ process” crap |  |

Start at the top left and read to the right all the way to the bottom, better? |  | |  |

I changed one word and Martin was mentioned later on in that para, I'll try to be more careful in future |  | |  |
