Diallo just doesn't have any presence about him.

We just can't seem to control the ball this half. No first touch.

Clearly obstructing the view

60 mins we've looked a lot better than recently. But with Ings off the stuffing has been knocked out again.

This sums up our current predicament. During this run Ralph has hardly changed the tactics and approach and has been unable to fix the defence. No reason to suggest he'll start that tonight. Edit: Apologies for the size of the image. I have no idea how to make it smaller!

About what I expected. The team has been lost for weeks. No direction at all. Need to try and get that extra win in the league and rebuild in the summer.

Yes we never seem to get those though. The challenge was completely unnecessary and should have been a second yellow.

No shots from us yet.

Happy at half time to keep it even. But we've given them far too many chances through mistakes - sooner or later we'll be punished. Diallo always seems to get caught in two minds about what to do. Generally we play lots of short passes that are just given away due to a lack of players continuing to run with and support each other. It's all a bit individual efforts and a lack of team cohesion. As usual lately.

Yes, during the warm up.

We look like our usual selves today. Relying on the opposition missing the chances we present them rather than defending properly.

So just one change from the atrocious performance against West brom. Same formation etc. Hope he proves me wrong but I can't understand how he think it'll be any different.

I see Ralph's post match was the usual. Pointing out the obvious problems. Yet he seems unable to engage with solving them.

I am stunned by how poor we were today against the team 19th in the league. Ralph has looked utterly lost for weeks now. Disconnected from what is happening on the pitch. I think we'll survive (hope) given the gap. But I think it's time for new ideas and a new defence in the summer. Not sure there is even any point watching the game on Sunday. Can only see further humiliation and long standing records broken.

Just after tonight? I think if he hasn't worked it out by now, he's not going to.

The semi final is going to be extremely difficult viewing, isn't it?

Game has gone to be fair. They know we'll never score 3 in the last 5 mins. Might as well sit back.

Barring a hugely unlikely cup win - Ralph is done here.

Looking at the players. They don't seem that bothered to be honest.

I think we'll stay up. But I think we should consider Ralph's position come season end. He hasn't been able to sort the defence out since the 9 nil. Results have slightly improved more by luck than judgement. We still have no idea how to deal with any sort of attack and there really is no excuse.

I am really astonished by how poor we've been. Yes there is one eye on a cup semi final. But that first half was just beyond belief.

The way it's been going, you wouldn't begrudge them being 4 or 5 up. We are defending like the 9-0. Every attack looks like it'll be a goal.

One way traffic. Can't believe how poor we are. Miracle they aren't out of sight yet.

Could have been 6-4. Glad we came out on top!

Got the ball! Idiot ref.
