Christ - work it out !

Playing with fire and particularly considering the teams left in the FA Cup.... A lack of ambition in the league is totally baffling...

You presume a lot ....

Not entirely true .... Ralph’s tactics, mental training and preparation not to mention strange substitutions are not good enough. Our second half performances are dreadful and this hasn’t been addressed either despite it being a recurring theme. We are playing with this intricate passing out of defence. Whilst this tactic can work, if we do get it through to midfield we then ponder on the ball again and send it backwards. All Wolves did second half was work harder and swap wingers round. If we are pressed aggressively we have no plan B. We were very poor second half ‘Again’ Referring aside ....

As usual, second half we are off the pace ....

This game is important ...

About time!

Lots of sense in this post. Ralph is indeed overrated by many fans. In many ways similar to Bednerek who has always been caught out and redeemed the situation with a last gasp tackle only to lauded for his ‘effort’ Applauding Ralph after two 9.0s is ridiculous, begging him to stay is also nauseating. Some fans attitude to losing mirrors the malaise and losing attitude with the club generally where second best will do. If you want to be successful it won’t do...

Why did Ralph press the repeat button today... Sorry but there were some glaring Ralphisms there today and he has to be scrutinised, much more, though he’s ‘a nice man’ and all that...... We do not adapt in games, and are very predictable with our slow build ups, almost as slow as Ralph’s recognition of how a game needs to alter with the circumstances. it’s time Ralph felt some pressure, everyone is too nice, including a large portion of fans. It’s time Ralph felt some heat.

Given you are clearly a little short of knowledge (Study their first goal for a clue) I suggest you swat up before making clever dick smart ass comments.

A football match .....🤷‍♂️

Will we bother to mark Shelvey and Saint Maxim???? This is key....

Agree...

We might be better covered in numbers in that position, however, the quality is much of a muchness and this new fella is apparently a step up from what we have and in all honesty we do need that step up in quality. There is rationality here. The other issues we have are very deep and will still take quite a while to drain away, whilst on the reserves/youth recruitment side not sure still if we have removed all those scouts and coaches responsible for the mainly ill equipped backup we had/have....

The game is finished

Sad news, fond memories, a very distinguished fellow.

Too much of a recurring theme - poor after 60mins.....

You can’t relate this to the owner. It’s not Saints that want to sell after all. Much as Ings is a good player for us, he now wants to have his cake and eat it. Ings is instigating a way out so it’s best to sell now as he will not have the same commitment and will sour the rest of the fruit bowl. Sorry to say but he should be sold to the highest bidder in my view unless he withdraws his thinly veiled transfer request called a ‘release clause’

Disagree totally with the importance you attach to the FA Cup. This is the time to rest first team players and give the fringe youngsters a chance. We have a handful of players we need to offer first team experience to so that they are ready and available for league games when needed or to genuinely challenge the first team regulars. This match is the perfect opportunity. We should still role Shrewsbury over easily and also we don’t risk injury to our regulars.

The testing is a bit farcical ... Wtf .... False positives and false negatives !!! You get your temperature taken if you visit a hospital or other establishments which again means nothing. You can have Covid for several days before a temperature develops and that is apparently the period where you are most contagious.. The science is still so unreliable and the scientists still groping in the dark.. If Ralph feels well he may as well be at work..

Realistic or is he reducing expectations ? I think Ralph has changed his language recently from ‘winning mentality’ to ‘the main thing is a clean sheet’ Ralph appears to have less of a determination and ambition recently which has been picked up by the players. On a separate note, our ‘Youth Policy’ seems to have been dropped in favour of the Shane Long policy. Come on Ralph step it back up....

Hojbjerg should be interesting in the post match interview reminding us all what a top team Spurs are and how Leicester tried extra hard because they were playing Spurs who are a ‘top team’ lol

Agree, It was truly cringable....

Interesting that God is on his side, at least VVD thinks he is... God works in mysterious ways and certainly did when VVD was here and refused to play - allegedly... That’s how Christians work I suppose... Funny ole world....

He is last ditch because he is always playing catch up. People praise him last ditch though...,
