HE'S BACK! The only player we've got with the class to finish like that. GET THE FUCK IN. NOW FUCKING WIN IT.

Oh well at least we've scored the goal of the game so far.

They're basically all over us. Burnley ffs.

I don't think in game management and tactics are his strong suit.

So what?

We'll beat Leicester.

Didn't watch, reasoning that if I didn't we might improve (despite knowing full well it would have absolutely no bearing on what happened in any way whatsoever). Good to hear we put in a good display, particularly Redmond. Anyone got a link to one of those full match re-runs (if one even exists)?

Right

I think it's now well established that having the majority of possession doesn't necessarily equal being in control of the match. It's kind of been worked out that - especially against us - teams can sit back without the ball for (sometimes long) periods of the game but still be the better team and win the match.

This is probably correct but if it is he either needs to learn something else quickly or fuck off. A manager who only knows one way of playing and just keeps on playing that way whatever is happening out there in front of him and whatever condition his players are in ain't a good manager, he's not managing the game, the season, or the squad. The 2 9 nils are beacons of light shining on his inability to adapt to circumstances and change tactics. In both those games we should have parked the bus and gone full on damage limitation. He can't do it, he can't do anything other than plan A gung ho up and at em in their faces from the off lads. If that doesn't work we are done. It clearly has it's merits, it's garnered some excellent results he obviously is handicapped by the lack of investment and our disinterested wanker of an owner, leaving us with a thin squad and tired players. But even or perhaps especially given those handicaps he should be adapting how we play for a bit, grind out some results.

......

I don't think you are alone there Hypo.

I'm afraid it really is starting to look like he's been found out. One way of playing, a combination of tiredness and other teams sussing how to play against it has stopped it working and he hasn't got a clue how to respond.

Still not nervous but if we cock up the next 3 matches I will be. As for next season, all I'll say is the 3 that come up better be Sheffield United bad.

Just watched the Adams chance again. Fuck me what a brainless welt that was. Just fucking place it in ffs.

Time and again this season I've seen opposition managers make a tactical switch at half time that has significantly altered the game and swung it in their team's favour. I have never seen Ralph do this or make his own switch to effectively combat the oppo's change in tactics. A manager needs to be able to do this.

Worst performance of the season. We have been schooled by a team that's been in the bottom 6 all season. We haven't even vaguely troubled them since going 2-1 down. Fucking awful.

I am yet to see him change a game which is going against us.

It's fucking torture watching us trying to break down a team that's in front and sitting back.

Fair enough he's changing it 😁

Why hasn't he made a change ffs. It ain't working as it is. CHANGE IT.

For fuck's sake. We've looked shit this 2nd half. I want to see Ralph make a game changing switch for once, not the the oppo's manager.

Good shout. Tella has been ineffective today.

Good game this but I'm very worried we're going to lose it.

Well done Fraser
