I’m sorry but Ralph, you obviously have not researched West Ham one tiny bit. You haven’t considered Antonio’s threat at all, you are ill prepared for this match in every way and are an amateur.

Antonio should be man marked totally out of the game. This scenario was obvious before kick off we never learn. What do Managers actually do all week!

I’m afraid yet again Ralph has been far too slow to change things when we don’t have control of a game. Too slow in thinking!

Antonio is like Shelvey if we allow him to as we have before he will destroy us on his own. Not rocket science - or is it....

This

We need to man mark the guy that runs the Newcastle midfield and always destroys us. If we haven’t learnt by now to stop Shelvey then we will deserve and receive nothing. He is running the show tonight too...

Ralph dreadful performance second half I’m afraid. So easily out thought by other Managers...,

Tactically pathetic

This Manager is a raving nightmare... He’s tried in just about every game we lead and the consequences we all know... Wtf really ...

Wrong the wide men need to play narrower...

This is Ralph losing the bloody plot again !!!

This Manager has absolutely no tactical brain what so ever!!! Too many players too far advanced! We cannot build a move as we have no one any where near the ball. The idiotic manager has no bloody clue about set up.!

Yes would agree with that at least...

When you look at that team you cannot but be in complete wonderment of the incredibly amateur people we have recruiting for our club. It really does beggar belief....

Why was she playing in the back four today!:-)

This could be an expensive strategy though ...

The first two statements are very bold and are at best debatable...

You eloquently touch on just a couple of quite glaring situations which like many others just don’t get fixed and like with so many of the worst things about us which are coaching and organisation matters-you cannot blame the players all the time for the glaring lack of organisation and coaching... Honestly there are far better organised pub teams out there...

A lot of truth in this ....

Ummmm resorting to ‘hopes’ and hopefully’s won’t solve this crisis. This the moment to be decisive. By January this hole will be too deep to crawl out of. Unfortunately the players are just getting worse and so is Ralph .... Ralph is completely lost and needs saving for everyone’s sake including his own by the look of him.

I’d its you who has no idea Duckhunter... Proffessional footballers should be able to kick with both feet. That is a basic requirement.

If only he would come !!!!

Really .... The team are really performing terribly but you believe we should just keep ploughing on doing the same thing? Totally disagree. Christ, Ralph doesn’t even coach them to mark the opposition let alone any modicum of logical personnel choices in logical positions and as for ‘tactics’ that area is almost laughable. No the guy has to go.

This performance along with many others this year is down to a poor manager with a big ego. Obviously even if you take the players own limitations they are not being organised properly, have no worthwhile tactical instruction and must be as baffled by personnel decisions as the rest of us... Ralph is way out of his death here and now needs to be sent to a place where his skills can be utilised more effectively a long way from St Mary’s...

A refreshing realisation of the facts. The obsession with ‘football’ people on here is not backed up by the experiences we are enduring. No one has touched Cortese and he was not this craved for ‘football’ man. Anyone with half a brain cell can see good and bad footballers and coaches...
