Ex Lion Tamer

It's become accepted fact that his legs had gone but was he not just burnt out like the rest of the team after a long season of Ralph ball?

He scored more than a goal every three games for Burnley. That's decent at our level. Che, by comparison, has a goal every five games for us. I don't know if he's past it now but you'd think with his style of play he'd be able to carry on well into his 30s

With Wolves deciding to keep their caretaker manager having considered bringing back Nuno, I wonder if there simply aren't any good enough managers available the moment, so we're sticking with what we know for now

Great movement or poor defending for the goal? He certainly left his man for dead

I agree we're on course for relegation as it stands. The only consolations we can take is that Lavia will be back soon and the board was willing to spend big on a striker in the summer and may do so in Jan. Plus a new manager might help

Even when Ralph took over he seemed unimpressed and like he thought we should have stuck with Hughes

Bruce tends to do well for a season or so and then drop off - I'd take him here if we needed a short term fix but we're probably not in that situation

Do you know why it went wrong for him in his second season?

We tried for Delap, Broja and Gakpo. I for one can't think of any other high quality strikers who we could have got but didn't

Who?

We tried to mix it in a higher fee bracket this summer and ended up getting gazumped by Leeds. More valuable players are more in demand and therefore harder to secure

I don't think we thought we could make do, we just couldn't secure anyone of the quality we wanted. There's no point throwing big money at someone like Brereton Diaz when they're not going to be any better than what we've got

Isn't that what you have to do if you're trying to decide if a manager should stay on?

Don't forget his success at St Etienne!

The other way of putting it is that we've stayed up comfortably every season under Ralph despite some horrendous runs, so why do you think this season will be different? If we stay up comfortably again this season then I'll be happy, especially with the potential for our young players to improve next season. That said, he needs to turn things around soon otherwise he'll need to go

No, I don't feel certain enough to say that we should make the change now or later in the year because I hope he turns it round. But I'm not going to commit to keeping him until the end of the season either. We need to keep assessing it over the next few games

We have been here before when he was playing a cautious 3 at the back towards the start of his tenure. Eventually we had to be brave and play the attacking 4222 that made him his name. It worked spectacularly

The problem is that his pressing system is so reliant on everything working, otherwise it falls apart. We've seen that in the 9-0s. Ely offering no attacking threat but keeping the system working is preferable to a humiliation. We need to get the likes of Edozie up to speed with our defensive game so that hopefully he can do both sides

The poll options are a bit skewed. He has a couple more games to prove himself for me. He probably should have gone in the summer but now we've kept him he needs to be given a bit more time

Stuey won a free kick at the end following an awful touch yesterday. I feel like everyone was infected by the uselessness

You have to laugh really. We looked like we'd never played football before. Even our good players couldn't control the ball or complete a pass

I get why we don't want people making jokes or singing offensive songs about minority groups as these people take a lot of shit all the time, but cancelling all football to protect people who will be offended because they liked the queen just seems like taking it way too far

But your argument rests on the idea that being disrespectful to the Queen cannot be tolerated. Whereas many of us question why we have to upend everything for the sake of people who won't even be at the game

But cancelling football forces everyone to mourn the same way. If football goes ahead, then people can choose to go or not go

This is what annoys me the most, that one group of people feels it can impose its values on everyone else
