Play like that against City and it will be 10-0

The midfield looks too lightweight. Hopefully Ralph has something clever planned.

Since they won the league. That puts them above most teams this century. Reputation improves when you win things and regresses when you stop winning things.

I think they've always had grand delusions about their place in world football. I get the impression they think they're on par with your Tottenham's and Leicester's but haven't won anything of note since 1995. I reckon I've seen us achieve more in my lifetime and that's saying something 😂 Fact is, you can't keep saying you're a top club when there's an entire generation of people now, anyone under about 35, that considers them nothing more than your average prem team making up the numbers because they've never seen them achieve anything. History means **** all after quarter of a century! Ask Blackburn. I've always had them on par with the likes of Newcastle and West Ham. Mid table, established prem team that can give anyone a game on their day. Never going to get top 4 though.

I haven't rated him for about 2 years now. He slows us down and always looks for the easy back pass. He doesn't trust his pace and dribbling anymore. IMO it's a primary position we should be upgrading. Look how effective an energetic, dribbling full back can be in this system.

I have to eat my words. I said Leeds were shocking in the first half and we were surely going to win. I should have seen our capitulation coming. We're so mentally weak and Ralph keeps picking the wrong teams. I've never known a team like ours. We looked like genuine contenders for 7th in the new year. Since then we've had to endure a 9-0 repeat and the worst form in our history. I've gone from embarrassed of this team to proud and back to embarrassed in the space of 14 months. The highs have not been worth the lows during Ralph's tenure for me. I'm willing to support him because he saved us from relegation and I like his passion. When we're good we're excellent to watch but he needs to learn how to manage games. Being far and away the team that dropped the most points during games for two seasons running now is highlighting a real weakness in his strategy. Unless these heavy defeats and score reversals stop, surely we won't just continue to be content? The players at our disposal are capable of at least doing that.

1 goal and 1 assist in 16 games. He's on £65,000 a week. That might be satisfactory to you but his lack of effort and lack of contribution winds me right up.

Can't even argue with anyone that says Ralph out now. His starting lineup was disrespectful to us and frankly to Leeds as well.

We're not even entertaining anymore. Just ****.

Agreed. They need to give us something soon.

OK Ralph. Its becoming make or break. Get Ings on. Get Takumi on. (As they should have been from the start). And for the love of all things good, GET REDMOND OFF!

We don't deserve to be behind but Ralph's selection warrants it.

So did Bamford. If Tella deserves a yellow, so does he.

I would also like this clarified. Unless quick free-kicks are being eradicated?

Get Ings on and finish this shit run. Leeds have been shocking. We can't let them take anything from this.

Are we the unluckiest team in the world or do the refs just hate us?

I agree with the decision but its so frustrating that we NEVER get those dodgy calls that get given against us every week.

Stupid tackle. We've thrown another lead

I'm not expecting us to win anything. Footballs far too unbalanced for us to ever do that. However, we've broken all the wrong records this last two years and it must stop.

This losing leads every week thing is so deflating. The inconsistent officiating that seems to always go in the oppositions favour. The 9-0 defeats that we'll now be reminded of for the rest of time. The record for most league losses in a row. Our favourite players always leaving. It's enough to make you start to question whether its really worth it.

This losing leads statistic is becoming unforgivable. It's at least a 2 year problem now that Ralph doesn't know how to address.

Losing to such a poor team is so infuriating. Screwed once again by the officiating.

Ultimately I want a new keeper but I think Mccarthy is the better of the two.

I'm not aware we've won a single game, or even scored a goal, against 10 men under Ralph. If a team wants to hold on against us, they can. I thought at the time when they went a man down that it was the worst thing that could have happened to us in this game.

Today is on Ralph. I was begging for him to take off Redmond for Djenepo. He made one irrelevant substitution late in the game. It's infuriating. Also Ings has been one of our worst players since Liverpool. Thoroughly deserved defeat. Well played Newcastle.
