Dellman

Didn't he overspend on failures at Everton and get the sack? Could fit well

I wish

Rafa would be wonderful and he wouldn't see Gao because nobody does and he wouldn't have to speak with him because nobody can and he wouldn't have his criticisms after matches because he never comes. He would have a free hand

Ralph has looked a bit low from the start of the season, and steadily more miserable ever since, with reason. My impression is that he felt let down or disappointed with the summer business. And that makes motivation difficult. I don't blame him, he has a Board without football brains

Adkins? That is sheer nostalgia. He has failed at every place since he was here and not even in the Premier League. Nice bloke, good memories but that's not enough for the present situation.

I am hoping that when Ralph has the support of a new DoF things will improve and proper recruitment will correct some of the recent shambles and new talent will lift everyone's spirits. When is the new DoF to be announced? Soon, I hope

Players used to come to us to improve, and they did. Now they deteriorate and have to leave us to improve...Mo, Frazer. Tadic, just this season. What has gone wrong?

He's doing well there and I'm pleased for him, also it means we may get something for him. He had a helluva time here---but who hasn't?

NC would sort it out, he is the best hope

Spot on

Its easy to get rid, takes a few minutes. But how do you find anyone better? And how much are we paying up on contracts of ex managers already?

But if Ralph is sacked or resigns, who is there to appoint a successor? A Chinaman and Kat on the Board, but who knows anything about football?

Yes, that's spot on. But when we had NC driving us on with enthusiasm and bringing success our fan base turned on him for some reason. What do we want? We've got what we deserve.

Agreed. Hoj is under performing, but one of several at the moment, hence the square and backward passing, always a sign of anxiety, uncertainty and safety first---which often isnt safe at all. I can't see togetherness at the moment but once a good victory makes it click I believe they will all recover form quickly, hope is not far away

Yes that's true but people forget that it was NC who persuaded him to invest in us. We need another NC as well as another Markus

I'd have POSH back, in spite of present difficultiies.

SAD to say they didn't have as great a career as was expected and now they are all definnitely on the way down. I think we could still find a place for the Ox and he would play regularly, good for us and for him.

Completely agree

A defence which is making a lot of mistakes needs stabilising. Bertrand and Yoshi are more likely to do that and they were on the bench. That baffled me, we need those two. I forgive Bednarek his mistaake, he has saved us several times but Vest....chap is a constant worry and Danso is one for the future not right now.

Yes, and Ings cost £20million and is nearer the end of his career. Adams will be ok, plenty of good signs yesterday

It would mean more if we had kept him

What happened to Papa Weigo? He scored some vital goes and was a big character and then-gone, as suddenly as he came.

Stuart Williams was right back not left. I don't remember Alf Ramsey ever playing lefn back, but he did play centre forward at the beginning of his time with us, and once scored four goals in a match against Lutom

I am a bit tired of reading this forum because contributors always seem so unhappy and so critical of our own players. they don't sound like supportersw at all. Positivity and encouragement would do so much good and there is under the present manager and the present Board more to be positive about than for a few seasons. Why don't we hear about that?

Is Charlie Austin sold or loaned.. Did we get anything for him?
