Derby Vs QPR

True, but is it his tactics and team selection, or are some of the players letting him down?

IMO Marti got the team wrong. The set up was too lightweight and we lack any midfield bite. Andersen and Madsen are too similar and shouldn't be in the same team. When you also start with Saito and Dembele you are asking to be dominated because they are also lightweight and offered little threat.

The good news was that once Chair came on he was causing more issues than the rest of the Rs players had done all afternoon. Let's hope that by the end of the International break both JCS and Colback are fit to play.

In his defence I would say that, despite his age, Cook has not been rested because of the lack of fit CBs. I do agree it is a bit of both. Playing too many square pegs in round holes (Madsen, Andersen and Dunne) through necessity has not helped, but Ashby and Bennie have shown they want to play and Dunne could offer something more than Madsen in midfield!

I used to criticise Warburton because he just had Plan A and seemed unable or unwilling to change things. It didn't help that Warburton wanted to play out from the goalkeeper but the players he signed including a new goalkeeper struggled to play his system.  It took him 5 months and several defeats before he eventually read the posts on "Hoops and Dreams"  that for the previous 4 months had been telling him that his system wasnt working and we needed to be playing with 3 at the back. 

Marti is very much in the same vein as Warburton by wanting to play a system that doesn't suit the the players he has available. Marti worked a miracle in saving us from relegation last season and clearly wants to play in the Pep Guardiola style. The issue for Marti is that the players we have and the new players he's recently signed are not good enough. 

Managers are stubborn and only when they're on the verge of the sack might they admit they were wrong and change things. Marti has just signed a new contract and with that being the case I don't expect him to change things anytime soon.

Marti long term contract = league one

Scenario here for you
If things don’t improve soon
Would QPR still sack Marti even on a long term deal
Or let him take us down and hope he brings us Back up
Problem with that is we could linger in league one like Charlton for years
