I feel a bit for Sekou being scored lower by people than Kamaldeen. At least he actually contributed *something* this season.

Martin gets a 4 from me because from what I've seen, it's been the quality of the squad that has got us to 4th. He can't turn a game round when it's going wrong. It's been a mainly fun season because we've been racking up goals against far inferior opponents rather than his tactics.
Nah, we've never come from behind to get a point or 3 this season, none at all ... everyone was praising him earlier in the season based on his in-game tactical changes winning us points. You're being very harsh there I feel. Oh how fickle fans are ...
I'm not necessarily talking about games where we've gone behind. It's the games where the other manager has made changes and Martin does **** all about it. So we go from dominating one half to either hanging on or blowing a lead.
However, even this late in the season, If we have one sub to make and the choice is Kamaldean or Sekou, I want the former.
I have shown it before but to repeat we are miles behind the other teams in the top 6 at positive game management. Way behind in both keeping leads and turning deficits into wins.
I think that the Saints manager with the highest win ratio since the 19th century and that oversaw the longest winning streak in over a 100 years warrants more than a 4 personally, it's a little bit insulting imo.
