Billy the Kidd

Well, hopefully he will last to see out first game, before fucking off like the others have lately.

Yeah heard this a bit lately. Why didnt he go to Brentford, Jones turn it down or they chose Frank instead?

I think you have a point, in that we failed to get a striker, that wasn’t totally on Ralph, but he simply has to get better result and performances out of what he has or he has to go. It is literally what most mid to bottom teams have to do. But your constant defence of him, whilst admirable, boarders on blind faith, and you continually trot out excuse after excuse for him. Every team wants to buy a Haaland, but when they dont, they play to their strengths generally, which isnt really something Ralph has done consistently or effectively. I just find your constant excuse finding laughable, Ralphlon has many considerable faults, and will very likely be replaced this month. If and when that happens, and we start playing better and picking up points, will you acknowledge that other people can and will have done better than Ralph, or will you trot out a load of other BS cos we brought new players in Jan 23 😂 Just read the Athletic article with Redmond, sums up the situation of someone politely saying what a load of bollocks it has largely been playing under Ralph. Seriously, people hounded out Hughes, and Pelligrino, and rightly so, and they are largely comparable with Ralphs performances.

Wolves just appointed Julen Lopetegui.

So, why would they be premier league scorers. Why cant we go out abroad and look for others. Im pretty sure some other countries have football leagues, and some of their players are likely to be better a sticking the ball in the net. Not my job to find them, that is the clubs, but Ralph chose to sign Che and AA, neither of which have worked out. It is up to the manager to get the players in his budget, and play to their strengths. We knew when we signed AA for example, that his best goal scoring periods came not from playing on the wings, or by tracking back to his open 6 yard box, but Ralph has to have players with defensive qualities first and foremost, as clearly he has an issue setting us up to defend. Talking of defence, yours of Ralph is admirable, any suggestion at what point you would change manager, and when would the actual buck stop with the man that makes the decisions on tactics, formations, training regimes, etc?

So, not totally disagreeing here, but you are aware Ralph signed both Che and AA. Now im sure Lighthouse or someone will point out we didnt have much money, which is correct, but there are other players out there that could have produced more goals. So, when we say it isnt Ralphs fault we didnt sign a striker, he did sign the two already here, so his purchases, you and others (including me) have alluded to, have been failures. Brought by Ralph.

Yep, wonder why that is. Wonder why a few players got worse after joining. Moussa being one. Redmond another. Mara another. I like Mara, think he could do better at those shooting things which equal goals.

Think Id rather watch a Puel team than this one. This is only down to Ralphs poor tactics. We cant string a pass together, Diallo must have a pass completion rate of 50%, and for 38 mins we have been utter dogshit., And he still stands there doing nothing.

I think he is our best CB, so assured, and a bargain for what we paid.

Someone else said above we weren’t in for him. Unless i read that wrong.

So, did we want Gapko? Or was that a smokescreen? Still pretty much a total failure to land an improvement Striker. I dont want Ralph to continue, but accept likely he is here til World Cup, and possibly after.

are we not already in the same boat? We have a manager that isnt suitable already.

He caught a fair few crosses, he cant catch everything. Thought he had a decent game.

You may be onto something here. Why dont they take one item of kit from each of the kits, and mix it up. Green top, black shorts, white socks. Or red, whatever colour goes on the white kit.

I think having SAVE in the code, for a team that simply cant keep a clean sheet, is taking the piss. Our marketing department must be pissing themselves.

Why was AMN brought in as OR replacement? They play different positions, i thought.

I wasnt so much joking, as I think youre correct…

We have any awesome links today? Last week was pretty bad.

I remember the 0-0 with Everton in Poch’s first game. We played ok, and were hard to beat. With Ralph, total opposite - we are easy to beat. Is embarrassing.

Dont be daft, where have I said that. Listen, if you feel this is on the players, then fair enough, we just massively disagree. Ralph sets the formation, tactics etc. They follow his instruction. Maybe they are playing confused as Ralph isnt as good as some believe on here, and i feel this if we win or lose today. He needs to go.

Dont they follow the instructions of, i dont know, say - the manager…

How is Nick Pope in ahead of Ramsdale? Jeez, im not looking forward December, other than Ralph getting sacked.
