Some ‘Happy Clappy’ rose tinted glasses on here with regards to Gallagher’s ability. He is at best a championship player and by quite a distance not good enough for us.

Makes sense.

Not sure you thought that post through.

For goodness sake !

Precisely.... This thread is pointless and irrelevant. Makes for a hearty laugh though with people ‘demanding’ answers without asking a specific question which you would normally expect an answer to. Some fans feel so ‘entitled’ We are not.

Answers to what questions? You can’t demand questions and answers....

- - - - me more glass full when clearly it is empty. Say it as it is, today was really poor again - no ifs, no buts just poor.... You are not a better fan if you try to dress that up as something more positive than that.

Because Armstrong is clearly not quite good enough ?

Still not a valid reason to put Forster in a subs place....

What exactly is the point in having Forster as a sub, he is plainly not good enough so why waste that space......

For Gallagher see Forster, Ele and Stephens - what’s the point?

Ehhhh ?

You can have a corrupt mindset without receiving money or gifts. If you court popularity with the media, certain clubs, managers or fans by your decision making you are ‘corrupt’

Agree. Ralph pulled a bit of a stunt yesterday and didn’t cover himself in any glory.

Not sure about that list, Armstrong clearly a no as is Bednarek. Both do not live up to the hype they have generated.

100% Ralph has lost some credibility today.

No excuse for picking that team at all. I’m sorry but no excuse. Some of those players we already know are no where near good enough why pick them again? That is poor management - say what you like no need for it.

JB is nowhere near as good as his hype actually.

Well we are safe and well done Ralph with this lot in tow.... I predicted we would concede bringing Armstrong on and we did. He is just not at the races at all. He is lazy and or not aware what’s going on around him. Ralph is obviously very unsure about him and rightly. The fans fav who is of a similar ilk and should be moved on is Bednarek. It’s not surprising that we conceded three with him and Stephens at the back who of course is also needing to be shifted on. So two Centre Backs needed, cover or competition at right back though Ramsey looks very useful and a forward.

Ok Stephens isn’t good enough but nor is Bednerek to be truthful....

Nice piece..... One you may have left off is a very strong tendency to stand off and sit deep as the game wears on particularly when narrowly winning. This also has happened too often for long periods after taking the lead in games earlier in games. Really Ralph must insist that players play to tactical instruction and not how they feel comfortable when ahead. Certainly with three at the back we can quickly get over run in midfield so the weakness in the centre back position is costing some midfield control and over taxing our midfield who as you say noticeably tire later in games.

Excellent call ...

They had several very decent players not least their goal scorer.

Dreadful reffing it would have been a very harsh yellow let alone a very odd red card. Unlucky as we were on top at the time against a very technically gifted team. Very unlucky..
