TBF, he played like he did because of the opposite. We had to play deep and compact to not let goals in, because individuals were not great, and at that time Fonte was awol. But the football from an attacking perspective was some of the worst I've ever watched.

Which is absolutely shit because of that awful 50 limit.

Only sat home game left this year. And no trains. So irritating. Seems to be train strikes every week atm.

Ridiculous to think we were ever on the list, the bloke will be looking for top champions league clubs, not struggling premier league clubs.

I never understand this as an argument, as there are plenty of managers that are options. I wouldn't expect the average fan to know everything about ever manager out there either. Look at Brighton, personally I've never heard of the bloke, and could be a great appt, but could also be a duff. who knows...

We've arguably only had 2 shit performances this season. Spurs (first game of the new season, didnt want to throw ABK in, a bit all over the place) and Villa (both teams were shit). Leeds - again early season, and a bit all over the place but showed really good character to come back from 2-0 down. On another day we take our chances, and beat both Man Utd and Wolves, and we got 2 great wins against Chelsea and Leicester. I'm not really sure you're argument is valid. For me, he got a clean slate in the summer when the club decided to keep him.

He was very good at setting up a defensive team though, to protect the back 4. Just had nothing going forward because we were so deep all the time. Remember Middlesbrough played like it a few seasons ago when they came up and people were talking about Gibson for England. Unfortunately you have to find the right balance between going forward and being defensively sound, Puel didn't manage that at all IMO. It's the battle that Ralph has fought with since he's come in 4 years ago, but don't disagree he should have found a better way by now. Maybe with Broja this season, we'd be a different side, I think we would be.

Thats because he didn't play him...

Certainly seems a bit odd that he's gone from 16/1 to 5/4 in 12 hours. Says to me something has happened, as it hasn't happened because of 1 result...seems some money has come in for him. Have to take odds as a pinch of salt, especially when it's advertised like that on Betfair, as people just jump on the bandwagon. I hope he stays personally. Pretty much where I expected us to be after 7 games, if not slightly overachieved..

Don’t think Aribo has trained all week. Be interesting to see if he’s starting…

God we have some shit players... Trent cant defend, Chillwell is nowhere atm, Dier, Maguire, Mount, Abraham... Not sure how KWP hasn't got in that squad, but won't be long til he wants to move on, if he can't get in that squad.

Great stuff! Hopefully he'll be off to the world cup too.

Deserves his contract. I’d like to see him do it for longer but at the same time, he’s still only young, he’s done well this season, and seems like a very popular member of the squad, can’t imagine he’s the most expensive of players to keep either. Got value. Glad he’s signed an extension. KWP and Adams next please. 🤞

I do find it funny the amount of fans who have berated Ralph for over complicating stuff, playing players in positions they’re not comfortable in etc etc, then some are suggesting our new CB and another CB should play in midfield, baffling.

Maybe I missed a block, or maybe they've just released a few more on the site. I'd be surprised if it's not sold out by the end of the week, with only 1300 ticekts.

283 tickets available right now, just counted. Soon to be 281 as I'm about to buy 2!

Yup - and new years eve this season. should be a good night out afterwards !

Frustrating for sure, but you can kind of understand it. Friday night, and already haven't sold out at Leicester and Wolves. This is the third midlands away game, and the trains are generally shit. I'd still rather the club just took max allocations though.

I still worry about us not having enough of a goal threat, or this could be another frustrating 1-0 loss. Will DCC come straight in? If he does who for? Poss 3 atb ? I'd prob go: Bazunu; KWP ABK Sali Perraud; AMN; Elyounoussi JWP Aribo AArmstrong; Adams

Managed to get tickets for BMW PGA today, so atleast it's not a wasted weekend. Utterly ridiculous that the footy isn't on though. Another absolute howler from the premier league...

Don’t they use floodlights for lunchtime games normally anyway ?

I guess the word average is completely subjective. Just for the record, I loved Davis he was class for us.

They said yesterday that everything today is cancelled and they’ll make an announcement this morning on the weekend. Think everyone is expecting football to be cancelled though
