Streaky

Between 10th and 13th with current squad. We won't finish that high under ralph. Heard Ralph is on 8m a year. Quite a lot if true for mediocre performances. Still don't understand what his black book of tactics is trying to achieve in the long run. Ridiculous we have let him shape the club from top to bottom in my eyes.

Not sure ralph knows how he wants anyone to play anymore. Tactically clueless more often than not.

Crowd was very quiet although I don't know if that's always the case at womens football. Free burger and drink was a nice touch as was the saints brass band. Good day out, the kids enjoyed it.

First time I've been since the game they played at St marys. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Rafferty was stand out for me. We just needed to up the tempo at times. Ipswich were too physical for us and then time wasted most of the 2nd half. Referee was terrible, got so many decisions wrong. Decent attendance aswell. 930 approximately.

Has he signed his new 4 year contract yet 😳

I find it baffling why he isn't in the first 11 most weeks. His direct running and work rate seems perfect for hassenhuttls system. Sooner or later he will get fed up and leave. What a waste of a great talent.

I dont know why he persists with Mccarthy. Forster is the better keeper and it's not even close. Neither are great with there feet. Crap result but let's see where we are in January.

Think southampton still own a few flats in ocean Village. Loaned players normally get put in there. Some even stay in the hotel down there until they buy there own place. I know prowsey lives in a PO postcode tut tut.

Does anybody know if the planned jumbo screens are being installed during the international break as part of the stadium improvements. All very quiet, was there a problem?.

Bloated squad and extremely high wage bill for a club of our size. We pay big money for certain players.

Half time team talk " where are you"

If you think Smith had anything to do with signing players you don't know much about how villa are run.

Exactly the same as I've felt last 6 months but Ralph has proved me wrong and happy with that. He's adapting to in game situations and with matt crocker back and making good decisions in the transfer market things are looking bright again.

Saints you were the best I've seen 1st half in a very long time. Should have been more by half time but we dug in 2nd half. Overall dare I say it ralph maybe on to something!

Worth every penny, Chantelle you were amazing, thank you!

Going in the 1885 lounge on Friday. Has anybody been in there before? Is it worth the money?

Some so called fans don't know anything about football. Hear enough of them in the Itchen every home game. They just take a personal dislike to certain players regardless of how well they are playing.

Disagree completely with that. Kwp wasn't vulnerable at all. Dominated the game apart from last 5 minutes. Also got to the byline multiple times and beat his man on the outside and the inside.

Good performance, shame we need so many chances to score a goal these days. If we can sort that we could be a decent team.

Yes they are in real trouble. Not sure what barca expect results wise. If xavi does take over not sure he would even get them to the champs league. Any manager going there is on a hiding to nothing. Barca fans need to be realistic.

Playing right cb in a back 5

Think it was 7m

Maybe because they are secret pompey fans trying to discredit our great club at every turn 😁

What do you mean? Refusing to sign a new contract. How long does he have left? Shouldn't make any difference he should be in that team most weeks. Very strange how he's being treated.

For me tella is miles better than Elyounoussi and showed what an asset he is for us last season. He was only gonna get better with more game time. Unfortunately Ralph hasn't got a clue what his best team is let alone how to go about beating teams tactically. Tella must be wondering what he's done wrong and if it's worth sticking around. What a waste of a real talent.
