Martin has previously said that the criticism directed at him has felt increasingly personal.
Following another painful defeat on Saturday, he acknowledged that jeers, boos and calls for his dismissal were part of the pressures that came with his role.
He said the team had no choice but to accept the chants, remain focused and continue working extremely hard.
As the person ultimately responsible for the side, he also accepted that he had to deal with criticism aimed directly at him.
However, he defended his position by saying he shared the supporters’ frustration and questioned whether replacing the manager would provide an immediate solution.
The 40-year-old’s commitment to a possession-based style featuring frequent passing once again became a major subject of the post-match discussion, particularly after another disappointing result.
Nevertheless, he shifted some of the attention towards his players, calling for them to deliver a more forceful and determined display.
He explained that every team must sometimes withstand difficult periods and be prepared to struggle during a match.
He added that, even if only for five or 10 minutes, the players needed to abandon attractive football, battle fiercely and show greater resilience, because they currently lacked unity whenever they came under pressure.
