Saints foreva

3rd penalty miss for him, not great.

I really thought we had turned a corner with our 2020 form but we're back to the kind of performances that have become all too familiar with this club since Koeman left in 2016. Toothless. Yesterday was as bad of a performance as the 9-0s. We were woeful from minute one, credit to WBA who comfortably beat us. Ralph had enough warning signs before their penalty to make an adjustment to the system, he didn't and this happens too frequently from him. There was nothing from our CMs, they were all over the place and it made it easy for WBA to pass through us. For him to say that we had a better 25 minutes before their 3rd goal is a ridiculous comment, they let us have the ball knowing full well that we weren't going to do anything with it and that we would have a defensive lapse. Us losing games of football is always a disappointment but the manner of some of the defeats since the turn of the year have been tough to take. Our players are not leaving everything out on the field, players are hiding. One thing that has been an issue for Ralph since he came here is his inability to set up a defence. Its infuriating how easy we concede chances. Bednarek has been awful since that second 9-0, personally I think he should be dropped for the semi final on Sunday, along with Redmond who once again put in the type of performance we've seen too many times since he joined us. Give Djenepo a run in the side, I'm still unsure on him but he does offer an element of unpredictability. I've been a big fan of Bertrand over the years but his time at this club will rightfully come to an end and it is absolutely crucial that we replace him well in the summer. This summer should be a massive one but we will not have the resources to improve this squad of players and I really do fear for us. We are desperate for a takeover, we lack leadership from the very top with an absent owner. We lack leadership on the pitch and have done since Fonte left. I'm not advocating for Ralph to be sacked, the club cannot afford it, but I'm definitely questioning him, the players should rightfully have the finger pointed at them as well. 10 points from our last 15 games, how does that compare to our final 15 games under Pellegrino or Hughes? The rot is deep. Its such a shame that the good work in the first half of the season has been undone, of course we still have the cup but I wouldn't back us to beat Leicester on Sunday when looking at our 2021 form.

JWP and Diallo have been all over the place.

All over the place at the moment.

Let off, awful from Forster and that high line is just painful to watch.

They even have a flag for David Norris day! If you know, you know.... how that season finished.

Great turnaround after the poor half an hour. A deserved win, shame we didn't add more to the scoreline it would have helped with the nerves for that last 10 or so minutes! Good to see Redmond build on his good performance in the cup game and hopefully Ings is back to his best now. Armstrong MOTM.

Game over. Bednarek was fucking shite for that goal.

We've been dogshit for months. Lucky with that foul on Forster there.

Stupid foul from KWP but the Burnley player looked like he had pulled him back just before.

Well played Redmond. That's what I want to see from him, just be positive on the ball. Attack the defender.

This is abysmal.

Leeds are winless in their last 16 games against London sides...

A free fucking header from a corner. Slow as fuck from Forster too.

Is it bollocks. Look at how many points we drop from winning positions.

0% chance of that happening.

And here we go.

Looks like they do have a clue.

Please don't get humiliated. Again.

Minus Mane, Pelle and Wanyama. Three key players from the season before. There was a clear downgrade on the players who came into the starting lineup over those 3.

Austin has a great record against us.

Diallo looks rusty. We aren't creating much from open play. Need to improve in the 2nd half.

Absolutely woeful performance so far.

Another injury

It's more than a bad run of 12 games though. Over the last 20 games we've averaged a point a game. That isn't good enough. Fair enough, the injuries during this awful run haven't helped, in fact it's the worst injury crisis I can remember since supporting the club but the manner of the defeats has not been acceptable. That is on the manager and the players, we effectively give us when we go 1 down. The Leeds game, we were lucky not to get another hiding because the players gave up, as Ralph pointed out. We were happy to just lose by 1 on Monday ffs. I wouldn't say I'm in the Ralph out camp, yet.. but the finger should definitely be pointed at him and he is nowhere near as good as hes made out to be.
