Play crisp, quick passes with movement off the ball and between the lines and JWP thrives, that is his game. Play the turgid rubbish Ralph coaches and JWP will struggle to impose himself on games.

People laugh at this but I think there is a fair amount of truth in it. Normally he comes across as happy go lucky and is always smiling but that has gone and he looks very troubled lately. I'm convinced he's had it with Ralph and his daft tactics and JWP will improve under a new manager.

I think the best we can hope is to scrape a desperate draw in what will likely be another backs to the wall performance. We'll probably totally ignore the fact that Guimaraes pulls the strings for them and give him the freedom of the park. Ralph mentioned Lavia has a knee problem so not expecting many minutes from him now until after the world cup.

Not a chance that would have been given if that had been a foul on a Fulham player. There's dark arts at work.

Realistically I think it's 3 from Forest, Wolves, Bmuff and us. Everton and Leeds are marginal but will probably just about be ok. Brentford, Leicester, Palace and West Ham will get enough wins and Villa will be ok under Emery.

So let's get this straight....even when we're offered a big wedge to spend Semmens cocks it up. That's assuming this rumour is true.

Absolute belter that. Cushions it to the perfect spot with his knee then volleys it into the top corner giving Pickford no chance.

What a dive. Did VAR not pick it up? Oh no. forgot, it was De Bruyne and he plays for Citeh. Disgrace.

Reasonable set of results for us relegation candidates. If only we were worthy of being in this mighty league rubbing shoulders with the likes of Forest, Wolves, Bmuff, Brentford, Villa, Leeds etc etc eh Semmens?

Wolves down to 10 men.

Back up to 17th....come on Brighton!

Into the bottom 3 we go as Wolves convert a penalty.

To me it smacks of washing their hands of the problems - in other words they are saying it's tough so don't expect much and just be grateful if we stay up. It's almost as if they think this will deflect criticism.

Might change how many opportunities we create to give our goal scorers a fighting chance rather than feeding off largely scraps and needing to convert almost everything just to scrape a point here and there.

What makes you say he's not a nice guy?

He'd make a balls of it and get the sac.

Aint gonna happen I'm afraid.

Theo up front.

Might as well just play him for 30 minutes - after all, the rest only play 45 minutes a game.

Like Semmens I couldn't give a monkeys about the result against Newcastle or where we finish - it's not important. The sooner more fans realise this the easier it will be to take the constant crap being dished up and poor results.

What if the chances against us missed by our opponents were converted? Maybe we'd have even less points.

Anyone who was there see him?

Surely Ralph was involved? Don't tell me these first team squad players were at Staplewood in a competitive mach (ok the opposition wasn't great) and Ralph wasn't there to have a look at them.

It's a pretty good gig then. 6.5 million big ones a year and nobody to bother you, a local news guy in your pocket and no expectations from anyone because, apparently, nobody could do any better.

Hope Semmens gave up his Sunday afternoon to watch.
