Astonishing to think that all those crap managers we've had in years gone by. None have lost 6 in a row. And now we've got a man who no only holds that record but has led us to two 9 nil defeats in 2 seasons. Somethings not right! Is it only the under investment?

Now would be the best time to do it. We are basically safe and any new man would have time to work on the team. However I can't think of anyone who could come in instead. Or whom we could afford. So we're stuck with Ralph.

Without knowing who is available its hard to say. But yes, a lack of investment is also working against him/us.

It was a new ideas in 2020. Now it's 2021 and everyone has seen it all before.

I agree. We've not had the decisions in our favour but that excuse only goes so far. Ralph's tactical range for example is extremely limited. Even right now we are fixed rigidly in his way.

Starting to think maybe Ralph has taken us as far as he can. Plenty of positives from his tenure but we need some new ideas.

Offside anyway

Players are very static this half. Everyone looks to have given up.

Just under 20 mins to go. Have we had a shot this half?

It is a curiosity. Ralph has made us better overall. But two 9 nil defeats and what looks like a record run of defeats.. it makes it hard to say he's a good manager?

Players have stepped off the gas. We just aren't in the game and it's back to the usual lack of leaders on the pitch.

It has been coming. We aren't in the game anymore. Barely had the ball this half. At least we are safe!

We really aren't getting the decisions lately are we?

Bednarek going for goal again there 🤣 About time someone told him it's at the other end.

VAR is quite pointless. Though to be fair we had reverted to our "bore them to death" tactic. So maybe we'll wake up again how.

Goal Armstrong! Deserved.

Zz.. both teams looking dull. Wolves haven't offered anything. Probably score in a minute against the run of play!

I am surprised Ralph didn't make more changes yesterday. We had Djenepo on the bench who likes to run and beat players to create things for example. He only made one sub the entire game, N'Lundulu who is frankly the slowest footballer I've ever seen. Tella might have injected some pace into proceedings.

5 league defeats in a row for the first time since 1998. It's relegation form. Our good start may well save us, but the rot is well and truly set in. Ralph has to find a way to stop us losing. Players look devoid of confidence.

Not feeling the goal coming here. Conditions not helping us.

Bednarek having a bad time at the moment. Mike Dean would have sent him off.

Someone needs to tell the players we are still losing. It's tough in the rain but come on lads, not creating enough chances !

Should be 4-1

Players appear tired. Lacking in leadership on the pitch. Mentally not right either, they still seem to be dwelling on the 9 nil.

I think its beyond us now. Confidence very low at the back. No sharpness and McCarthy has not recovered from conceding the 9. I'd even consider Fraser at half time.
