Should Martindale go or can he 'get this sorted?'

We asked for your views after Livingston's winless run was extended by a 3-1 home defeat to Dundee United.

Here's what some of you said:

Matt: At no other club would a run this poor not result in a managerial change. If the new owner is serious about wanting to see his club thrive, there simply has to be a change of leadership, tactics and team selection ahead of the transfer window. David Martindale may not have lost the dressing room yet, but he certainly, and finally, has lost the fan base.

Derek: Having supported Martindale and praised him on an excellent job I just feel now he should do the honourable thing and resign. There's nothing there to prove that this team can avoid the drop - it needs fresh ideas in the club before it's too late.

Malky: Freezing cold night with a performance to match. Sorry to say it, but Livi are now well overdue a fresh approach at the helm.

Calum: Oh my goodness. First of all - that referee was absolutely awful. But even that didn't make the slightest difference - I've watched many games of football and I'm quite an enthusiastic person but I've never felt as empty as on Tuesday night. So many players giving up, and as much as I love Davie for what he's done with the club he must go - team selection every week is so poor. It's not all him though, but if it stays like this we're going down with a whimper. Again.

Brian: I was at the game and it's obvious to anyone that Livi are a team with an ageing spine and lack creativity in the middle of the park. It will take a miracle for Livi to stay up this season based on this performance.

Joshua: I just can't accept the fact we've lost 17 league games and Davie hasn't gone yet. I just don't understand why nothing has been said. It just can't keep going because I'm thinking right now we could be relegated well before the split. Maybe we are trying to equal Derby County's record for worst season for a club or something like that. Something needs to change now or we're in some serious trouble.

Malcolm: That was awful. I've never left a match before the whistle but I came close. Half way through it looked 80 per cent of the team had given up. There's only so much the back line and keeper can do. To turn this around we need more goals. The manager and backroom need to get this sorted, or fans will turn away.
