Mr X

Full of passion? I thought Ralph looked bored and wanted to be anywhere else but there

Ralph's body language not good either looking down a lot and looking pissed off

The politician is strong in that one!

That is their only ambition! Semmens talks rubbish contradicts himself

Whole thing can be summed up as saints will be happy just to stay in the league and aren't aiming for anything else! Ralph seems totally nonchalant about his formation and tactical choices, you get the sense that his isn't going to change his approach to games

Body language between Ralph and semmens isn't good

Would rather we get rid of Adam Armstrong than Che tbh

There's no way we should be letting Che go anywhere unless we have a top class proven goal scorer coming on board & 15 million is cheap! https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/che-adams-southampton-sale-planned-price-revealed-prem-suitors-soar-past-leeds-race

With b I mean wages wise

We can only dream that A) he'd want to take a backwards step by returning B) that the club could in any way afford him

He must have a real god complex by now as he does his very best to get sacked but it never happens! 😂

It's clear that Ralph is a nice guy and has good intentions but beyond that there's not much more at the moment... Zero tactical nous and continues to not learn from his decisions.... Best we can get or the wrong manager for the club?

Direct to Austria or Australia? 😂

Taxi for Ralph 😂

That would actually be a decent result in the scheme of things as a hammering in the first game wouldn't do our fragile confidence any good, they are better in most areas on paper but you never know with football and you never know which saints Will turn up!

That will definitely catch on so easy to sing too

Who was responsible for signing him in the first place? It was clear he was way past it then

Still worried that we have done nothing about the striker situation yes we have got saku mara in but he's that old signing that saints seem to love "one for the future" and completely unproven at this level, I don't think Adams and Armstrong are going to get anywhere enough between them, the club have known this and not acted

I think 12th would be decent & show we are heading in the right direction any less then it's not really progress with the resources available, Ralph should be able to achieve 12th or better with our current squad imo. However I don't think he will shake off the crashing inconsistencies ie we will no doubt go on a run of five or six wins followed by 15 losses in a row

Totally agree this season we should be able to judge his managerial abilities he can't hide behind the not my squad or only crap players available that noone would do better with excuse

Time will tell if Ralph knows his onions as he definitely didn't know them last season, I think we have lots of potential but still worried about our lack of experience within the squad if we can get in a proven striker to replace ings that's age 24 plus then things may look ok, think the best we can hope for is around 12th as the new players will need time and some of them may turn out to be duds but if we can play some good football over a sustained period rather than just a good month or two that's progress

Don't care about his Southampton roots.... Maybe I should but it's irrelevant. He is just trying to pretend he comes from humble roots not a privileged one when it's anything but that... Neither he or his parents and certainly not his wife have ever struggled financially so have no concept of the real world. Slimey Rishi

Not necessarily, ask yourself has the penny dropped with our fans that RH isn't very good?

While this guy has great potential it seems, how many times have we signed these "players with potential" and "players for the future" players for them To deliver sod all! I am onboard with the signing young players as long as we get an experienced proven striker that is ready for the here and now and can go straight in the first team and deliver the goals to stay up! We are going to need another good start to the season as we all know we were beyond dreadful the second half

And they will of course have loads of settling in time with the team
