Thing is.. Ralph talked the talk. Made the bold claims and changes. Then the odd decisions. And now the whole thing has blown up in his face. He either needs to deliver. Be realistic. Or shut up and go.

Barnes took that shot. Noone tracked him or tried to stop him. I know we've lost but shocking defending nearly ended up in another goal

Just a question of how many now. Not even 20 mins on the board. Players all at sea no control and no idea what to do.

Looking like relegation fodder. 2-0

Clearly didn't intend it. With the conditions the way they are it looks worse when played back in slow motion

It is raining but you'd expect to see him hold that.

Just waiting for the inevitable

Needs more time. But needs to stop trying to be too smart and get back to basics.

Players don't seem to be on board with his philosophy anymore. That's a worry.

Got a two week wait now till seeing us get smashed by Wolves. Then Leicester and City. Tough month ahead.

I would always want us to play in the top division. But I don't think we've got the financial clout to keep up any more. What money we do have we've become very good at squandering on dross. The championship is the natural place for us now.

Another team has beaten us without having to play well. Thrashed us actually. Without braking a sweat.

The predictable Fourth.

Looking at the squad I am not sure what we can really do differently. None of them have game changing ability really. There is no alternatives to Hoj or JWP

It's a good development game for them. Gives the youngsters a run out and more goals to build confidence. No danger of losing. Easy training style win. No need to push too hard really.

Obafemi on? Seems an odd one

Very few quality options though. Ings seems to have found form but everyone else is unproven or already shown they aren't good enough. A bit like at the back I guess. We are mediocre.

What can we actually do to change it though? No better on the bench.

Ings needed to put that away. Did everything right but good defending. There is a glimmer of hope but we will concede more. Its pretty much a certainty

Agreed. Didn't see at first. Defense at fault for not closing down again

Keeper didn't move. Odd.

Truth here. Money has been spent and squandered on dross. Can't blame the manager for that. And now there isn't any left. But Ralph hasn't helped with some idiotic decisions either in games gone by.

Goal back Ings! Great run Valery

It is at the moment. Have the players stop believing Ralph's rhetoric?

Wide open at the back.
