Lee On Solent Saint

Has to be happening. Yesterday was the perfect opportunity to give AA some game time. Ralph didn't.

I thought he was coming on at one point. From where I was sat,it sounded like Ralph was calling him back from his warm up,just before Ely came on. Must have wanted him to run the baths at the whistle

Relegation form

On that showing, am not sure that any of them are good enough.

Each week it seems that we say the performance can't get any worse, but yet it does. We were marginally the better team in the first half, despite not offering all that much. Palace no threat in the first half. It was obvious Viera would have sent them out after a bit of a bollocking. Yet again we just didn't react to a team coming out with a different approach and mindset. The second half was as bad as we've seen under Ralph, and there has been some utter shit shows. Half of the team looked uninterested and even the ones that did were still half arsed. The lack of quality was just painful at times.

Yeah, I actually thought he was a decent player to be honest. Certainly a lot better then some of the horror names on that list.

Chris Baird? Christ we must have been shit that season

I think he would get "lost" at Liverpool, City and Chelsea. You only have to look at Grealish and see how much he is struggling for game time. Can't help feeling the same would happen to JWP. I think the only real serious destination for him would be Arsenal.

No question KWP. Best piece of transfer business we have done in a long while.

Am not sure it really matters from an England perspective what club JWP is at. It's not as if Southgate doesn't know what he is all about.

To be honest, that probably says more about the lack of quality English keepers than it does of Johnstone's ability.

Aren't they restricted to what they can spend though due to FFP?

Wouldn't be so sure. Most of that squad are Billy Big Bollocks,so can't see them wanting to stick around in the Championship,especially with the World Cup scheduled for the winter.

Think it has been mentioned on here previously about the vacancy with the Austrian national team. Maybe Ralpg fancies that gig.

Agreed. If the benchmark for a midfielder this season is Rice and Philips, JWP for me as got to be close to that. Scores far more than those two, even if they are both stronger players than he his.

Would take Origi. Way out of our price range for wages though

Like to see A Armstrong on now, think we aren't going to get much more out of Long.

Fuck!! where would we be without JWP this season!!

Agreed. If we posed a threat from they fair enough, but we don't whatsoever.

Pathetic display, our centre backs must be the only ones in the league that can make Welbeck look like fuckin Messi

Because Ralph is all powering, and nobody is allowed to question him whatsoever

This long throw thing is a crock of shit. Really need to stop it.

Seriously, which other team would have one of the best right backs in the league, playing as a left back?

We are so weak it's bordering on funny now

Big game for Tella. He needs to make his mark for me sooner or later. Bit like Smallbone,not sure he can make the step up either.
