Saint Matty 76

What on earth?

I just cannot see how he's not making a change here. SA on to try and control the ball a bit.

ahhhh we're all so fucking stupid god bless jan bednarek

Surely there isn't? He is legitimately indefensible over these past few years. We've got rid of Vestergaard and Bertrand from that clown back line, he needs gone as well.

So true. He's just brilliant at it. I really think him and Che will be a good partnership, with the latters creativity. Just need to figure out which two behind are best, or the least shit.

Broja is fucking excellent. We'll never keep hold of him but I beg we get another year. What a player.

Useless.

Salisu has been so, so good.

Man. Bednarek just absolutely braindead.

Broja so good. Hopefully Walcott doesn't make it past half time. Any of the three on the bench at 70% are an upgrade.

He's so bad. Crazy.

More points dropped from winning positions. 🔥 Lovely strike Moi.

We must have one of the smallest teams in the league. Why we insist on more opportunities where we aerially put the ball into the box, without one of our actually tall players, is beyond me.

We play again in 3 days. Broja was carrying a knock coming into this game and Tella’s played a lot of minutes. It’s not difficult to see why he had to do it, and it’s just unfortunate that our bench is so bad.

Decent point but we have to go and beat Brentford now. 4 points from those two was always a good return.

We're bringing on Long & Walcott and they have Olise. Painful.

The state of a fresh Shane Long chasing that ball, my god.

Time to shut up about his dead balls is it? Almost like we only have about two players in our team over 6ft.

I just can't see where any goals come from if Che, Stu, Adam and Broja all miss this one. And I even struggle to see where they come from with them as well sometimes.

I’ve always backed him and I still do. I just can’t think who’s available who I’d be excited by? This squad is unquestionably terrible. I just worry that we’d be downgrading without realising it and go down without a whimper. I don’t personally believe that we go down under Ralph, although others will definitely agree. He has many flaws, but I honestly think he’s been exceeding expectations in keeping us out a relegation dogfight under these restrictions. All changes for me if we don’t hit 4 points from Palace/Brentford, however.

I just don't know where this comes from? 😆 We drew against City, United and West Ham whilst being the better side. Are we really expecting this squad to go through a season without losing to a couple of the teams with centre backs worth our starting 11? Ralph will go into a job better than us when he leaves, and I think that's an indication of where the problem lies.

Who do you want? What do you expect? You lot deserve another anti-football manager to take us down, honestly.

Yeah this is the big worry for me. He links everything together and has proved to be our most important player over the past 18 months. I hope there’s nothing more to it, but we need him back ASAP.

That’s fair as well. We’ve played some terrible teams and not yet had a convincing win. If we don’t win against Brentford/Palace then I’ll believe we’re in serious trouble.

This is where I stand on it as well. I know lots will disagree but I still can’t help but feel like we’re not doing a bad job with the obvious restrictions Ralph has on him here. I worry that if we sack him and bring in one of the dull managers again we’ll just go down whilst looking terrible at the same time. I still maintain that we’ve only been heavily outplayed on a couple of occasions this year.
