Lee On Solent Saint

Absolutely agree. Have criticised him in the past, but more often than not he has been more than adequate back up.

Walcott Mark 2

If we want a horrible player up front, should have moved for Diego Costa. Think I read somewhere that he was about to sign for Rayo Vallenco In Spain

I like Ralph and really wanted him to be a success with us. However, I do think that a negative result this Saturday will be the end for him.

I can well believe those reports if I am being honest

My Nan's neighbour's son plays for Cambridge. Should be a good game.

Polish international over a second rate centre back plucked from Torino reserves. Am convinced against a better partner Bednarek would be a much improved player.

Does Selles have previous experience in actual management? Or just been a number two where he has been?

I don't think there is any harm in him being back up. Agreed shouldn't be a starter anymore, but absolutely should be ahead of Lyanco and Stephens in being third choice

He shouldn't have even been signed anyway to be honest. Same as Stephens shouldn't have been given a new contract. Happy to have Bednarek around if nobody comes in for him. Don't have a problem with him being third choice when we envitably go back to a two.Central defence has been a complete cluster fuck for years now.

Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but what about a loan for Mings from Villa? Instantly raises the quality in the back line. Scope then to move on Lyanco for whatever fee we can get for him.

He is definitely up to his hips in it if we lose next week

I don't get this huge attraction players have for moving to Everton. They must be offering massive wages.

Would be a bit of a concern if we allowed him to go to a potential rival in the bottom 8 or so. I know that's kind of his level of club, but still doesn't sit right that we should be doing that. Unless of course we have someone lined up that would instantly improve the forward line.

Hopefully like others have said he won't be interested in playing back up to James. Can't see James being played permanently at CB, he would be wasted there. Pretty sure Chelsea will get a CB in from somewhere.

Sssssh! Don't tell anyone about KWP!!

Second that. Although it can be a bit of a pain getting back out after the game.

Still can't believe there will be a situation in which they will play him, let alone keep him as a squad player.

I don't think we were ever in the running to be honest. If we got rid of Lyanco and Stephens it might be different, but with those two still at the club, it won't be happening.

Is this any better than the end of last season?

Cheers

Whose the co-commentator?

Phew! Thought it was just me! I have no idea what Ralph sees in games. He just tries so hard to massively over complicate things.

Seriously it's just a disaster waiting to happen. No way should he be starting against Spurs

Vokins and Ferry. Why are they still at the club? Surely they are never going to make the breakthrough.
