“You can’t blame the pitch Jimmy. I’ve already had it pointed out to me that the pitch is just an excuse, and Martinez is the real reason why there were so many instances of poor control last night.”
The “pitch” can only be used as any sort of excuse for the last 3 games.
BUT the fact of the matter is that seeig as how we’ve only won 3 games at home all season its fair to say we were playing $h!t when the surface was like a bowling green so I can fully understand comments made that the pitch is just an excuse
Especially when you consider latics have only won 1 of the last 11 league games, played on all sorts of qualities of surfaces
At the end of the day, Martinez chooses the signings, the starting XI, the formation, the tactics & the substitutions. he has to take the majority of the blame for what has been for the most part some dire performances this season & to start blaming the pitch (and even the weather last night) now when we’ve played poorly most of the season is to be frank a poor excuse
