Jones seems to be a fan of Puel’s tombola team selection system.

It’s the forum MO. Those not playing are our best players.

Was it not Anyone but Ralph though, right?

There was hardly any challenge there. Hardly clumsy. It's a contact sport. You can't just let the oppo run free. Poor referring that was not helped by a lack of VAR involvement. There's probably some quirky VAR law that says it cannot be reviewed if the player is left-handed.

Ings would be the difference from bottom 3 to mid-table for us.

While it's fair to say there have been several threads on the topic of the Manager, to have only 3 pages of comments against the official announcement sums up the generally underwhelming appointment.

I reckon that’s 3 at the back. Might explain why Payne is not involved.

But at least Ralph has gone.

Looks like a Liz Truss kind of appointment. The real manager can take over in a few months time.

The clamour was anyone but Ralph. That’s what’s happening.

How do you know he didn't do exactly that? He mentioned multiple times we were getting someone in. He clearly thought we were and clearly thought it was needed. We didn't. We can blame Ralph for a lot, but not for being responsible for conducting transfer activity.

Aribo. Caleta-Car. Bella-Kotchap.

We were awful, but, as far as I know, the game lasts 90+ minutes. Best sometimes to keep your powder dry and see how it plays out.

P1ssing myself reading some of the absolute sh1te from our regular negative anti-Ralph / Saints kn0bjockey posters - not supporters. Especially the first half comments 🤣 Maybe some might stop embarrassing themselves for a bit, and perhaps even go watch a game.

Along with DT they’re the forums very own Jedward.

Sunday West Ham Weds Bournemouth Sunday Arsenal (OK, 8 days)

And some absolute c0ckwombles for fans.

Wolves #1 target apparently

IIRC our one genuine ITK said that any ‘issues’ between Broja and Ralph was BS and that he, and his family, were keen for him to come back.

The Times claiming that Forest have approached Benitez.

Indeed. It’s a combination of the above. Let’s not immediately make him out to be the new managerial messiah. People could make themselves look a bit silly with that argument. Remember he got his last club relegated. Something that Ralph hasn’t done.

Not just the manager change. They made multiple upgrades on the playing squad he took over.

I missed the answer(s). What were they?

Rotterdam is anywhere. Anywhere alone.

I've taken the glass half-full approach. Bazunu, ABK, Lavia and Aribo can provide the foundations and service to Adams and Armstrong that they desperately missed last year. I'd rather have it this way than sign a top striker and not be a position to support them and continue to leak goals like a sieve. We'll find a way to score goals with what we have. Not forgetting Mara either of course.
