Watching Palace v Brighton. The difference in pace and intensity between both teams and us is stark.

Agreed. But suspect we’re so skint that we can’t afford his and his staff’s payoff. It needs to be done soon or it’s curtains.

You could say this about any number of tactical cluelessnesses/selection oddities/too late subs from Ralph Time for a change

Blackburn?

Setting Oriel back there dictates that the game is super slow and we lack any penetration or cutting edge. But when we get a clear chance like the one Armstrong had he provided a clearly championship standard shot, straight at the keeper. Awful. Really has the look of someone who needs four or five opportunities to get a goal. Che looked like he's allergic to shooting, JWP decided to do floaty chips for free-kicks or not clear the first man, offering a supremely lily-livered exhibition of not being captain material. Bednarek looked like a 12 year old in a trial getting hit by a custard pie. Redmond was his usual fluffup self, flattering to deceive no-one except Ralph, who clearly is in love, KWP played like he really didn't want to be here anymore (as per rumours of deadline day), and bringing on Long was just about the ultimate rubbing of our noses in it. Terrible, terrible performance and it has been this way for months. Time to let the new man take over

has he can we have him please?

they have a manager. we have a bloke in too-tight trousers

The idea that we are better than Leeds is frankly ludicrous. I'd agree we are probably only a touch better than Norwich but wouldn't have money on us to beat them currently

Chelsea away next. Perhaps he will start Long up front. Absolutely clueless

That was an absolute pile of shit.

Time to go, Ralph

another abysmal floaty free kick from the (today) atrocious Ward Prowse

He seems to be trotting around to avoid an injury for the January sales to me

How bad does it have to get before the people who run this club actually think about changing the manager for someone who knows a decent player when he sees one?

Djenepo is at least giving it a go. The rest are so slow and ponderous. It's awful and down to the manager. Need to end it now

JWP's delivery today has been gash

Going down, I'm afraid.

Pitiful

what has Tella done to pee Ralph off?

shane

The lack of conviction and ball speed is deeply worrying. And now he is actually bringing Shane Long on. I mean he has to be taking the piss

Really think he is not a good manager at all.

At last Broja. At last. At last Redmond off. At last.

Ralph, it's time to put the right players on

and there it is. abysmal attacks. che getting in the way. no pace. woeful defending from bednarek. awful
