Our badge is instantly recognisable, unique and a quite excellent bit of design. Leave it be.

Finally a good result, but one maybe forced by necessity. Ralph is not a pragmatist. That's why we lost 9-0 twice after an early red card. Today he was forced to change. Another absolute shellacking could have been a final straw, he had to adapt on the fly, he had to make us dig in. There are lessons in how we played today, in not over-committing. Not expending all energy early doors. In building from the back not expending from the front we actually allowed an unexpected opportunity after our previous pattern of "good first half" failed through self implosion. (Yes, the red card was harsh, but not unprecedented.) To be brought back into a 'Pro-Hassenhutl' mindset I need to see some variation in approach and pragmatism by choice going forward. He needs to be more intelligent.

Exactly why Ralph needs to go. The only way his system works is by knackering out the players. No savvy, just utterly naive.
-
Had just about enough of this pattern of knackering ourselves out playing Hassenball in the first half ahead of collapsing in the second. Just f**k off Ralph.

Kier has clearly successfully appealed to the grass roots support. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-56802020

Just like Rio Ferdinand. 'Disgusted.'

Although we did benefit from this when Villa lost the 2015 Cup Final.

Any answer given in the survey will not matter. Until you have witnessed the pure rabid hatred of Worthy's YFC and Littleton then you havn't lived.

His glorious playing of Zaha a season ago or so was peak JWP. He really can be a swine when he wants.

Not wasting any time in displacing Under Armour are we!?
-
Cannot deny the commercial sense, but to have that logo on our shirts is a disgrace.
-
Yep. Expiring everything to deny us a win when three points against Millwall the following Wednesday was clearly a much bigger issue. (From memory they lost one nil effectively sealing relegation?) Checked: Yep. And the goalscorer. Weird one. On-loan Harry Kane.
-
Clearly it's not that simple. Also, Ingsy featuring alone didn't mean wins in the Wolves away game (despite scoring), Newcastle away game and Chelsea home game in that time.
-
He comes back into the team and we win. Our worst run of the season corresponded with his injury. Clearly it's not that simple, but there is correlation. His signing has worked better then I would have expected, he clearly loves it here, his work-rate off the ball is superb and his pace is a pain for any defense. Hope he does stay.

Just pleased to see some fight in the side.
-
We look utterly bereft. No confidence or conviction in our play at all. Ralph's position must surely be under threat.
-
A player who needs a fair wind behind him. Won't be the last, certainly not the first. Better with us then against us. Not the only member of our team who hasn't had the space to run at the opposition in recent times though. (See: Ingsy onto his right foot around the edge of the penalty area.)
-
No, just out of his depth.

Paul Telfer Lloyd James Controversial: Gaston Ramirez.

That wasn't horrible. That in itself is progress. Everton are a good side and we were undone by a single moment. We are low on confidence, nothing has been going for us and the VAR decision going our way clearly made a massive impact on our mentality. From that moment in, although we didn't breach Everton we started looking more cohessive. Saturday is massive. It is time to push on.
-
Would expect this.
-
Agreed, seeing us play with some pride, professionalism and having an even hand from the officials would do right now. We never, ever win at Goodison Park anyway, so what the hell.
-
It appears to me that Ralph has lost the plot. Perhaps crying on the pitch after beating the champions isn't the best thing for gaining squad respect.
-
Nice to see us grow into a game for a change, we seemed to maybe be a bit less 'up and at them' then usual in the first half, maybe intentional to make sure we don't fade in the second? Djenepo was fantastic, a joy to watch today. Salisu also. A well worked point in uncharacteristic fashion for us.

Starting to lose faith in him. There is just no plan B. Same script every time.
