The problem is that we are one of the weaker teams in the PL along with Bournemouth and Nottm Forest that is why we are near the bottom of the league we need better players

It is the same with Thames Valley buses a general lack of drivers likely caused by Brexit the gift that never gives

Why do you think the CEO and Manager are not up to the task have you spent time talking to them and discussing there ideas regarding the club. I heard an interview with Dion Dublin who had spent a day with Ralph and was impressed with him in fact he was asked if SFC were to get a new manager who should he be and he said Ralph Hassenhutl

I agree with your sentiments but is not really about Semmens or Ralph really It is down to SR who have an outlook similar to Liz Truss's economics which does not work in the real world of the PL No other club is remotely trying it as theire is little evidence that all good young Academy players will develop into top class PL players some will but most will not and the plan in my opinion is a reckless gamble We obviously need a striker who can score a dozen PL goals a a season but who would want to come here when we are likely to be in the relegation zone when the window starts in January Relegation may not be a bad idea as we are likely to come back quite quickly as there is such a gulf between the PL and the Championship Re

oh and shedloads of cash to spend…is the most important but it needs to be used on high quality players Neither of which we have

It seems Palace are performing well and we are missing four of our top players ABK KWP Tino and Lavio and our attack is crap so unsurprising we are losing We have no proper RB replacement so lets hope our hopeless attack can score a fluke goal I feel sorry for Ralph having to manage this shower of limited skill and creativity in the PL

They were great fifty years ago big John was my favorite but other teams especially Leeds had plenty of brawlers too I was recently watching a programme abou Jack Charlton blatantly kicking the shit out of Ossie by the touchline. Who could ever forget our own George Kirby causing mayhem fouling all and sundry I remember once George caused three Swansea players to be on the floor at the same time with our trainer having to help one of them Those days are over and some referees will no doubt behave quite differently to how our CBs played on Sunday

Our points seem to come when the opposition is not playing at their best as opposed to us playing really well I still think we need to be scoring more goals but the last three games hopefully have given the squad some confidence and the attacking players begin to perform well Not sure A Armstrong deserves to start So lets hope Crystal Palace are not at their best in the next game and some of the players missing yesterday return It will be interesting what the starting lineup is going to be

It does not matter whether you read his posts or not I have and Sue Whistle has a valid point

The systematic sex abuse is predominately down to one particular group do you mean the priests in churches because I believe there has been a great many cases and the findings of the Govt Review have been published recently although I have not read about The NHS isn’t fit for purpose because the staff are shattered and there are so many vacancies which were previously filled by EU citizens and lack of investment by the current Govt The police are full of people who should have been sacked according the current Met Commissioner Boris got Brexit done which seems to be a positive although the ramifications are felt in a negative sense in so many aspects of day to day life The Brexit effect: how leaving the EU hit the UK | FT Film - YouTube The country is not broken but it is nowhere near the stability of other developed counties and has high levels of deprivation which not apparent to many people who are lucky like me to have any average income four times higher than an average Pensioner

I agree that Bournemouth bloke scored nearly thirty last season I think did not pose much of a threat on Wednesday

Rather like a headless chicken running straight into the opposition defenders no end product

Why do you not just leave the Forum you obviously have little empathy to the situation within the club whereby without a massive injection of cash SFC is going to struggle in the PL and your snide comments may make you feel superior but in reality you appear a bit of a knob I really enjoyed the game last night it was nice to win and hear pisitive comments from Ralph Glen Hoddle Kevin Davies and Germaine Defoe as opposed to what you post It is going to be a hard struggle to remain in the PL but the manager and the players seem to be up to it It would be nice if all the fans were behind them instead of continually moaning and criticising as I for one would like them to suceed against the odds I think we have a poor squad in comparision to others I have seen over the years but last night they worked hard and got a deserved 3 points

Tactics has little to do with our problems the lack of decent players does which leads to terrible football If you think the present squad is under performing and would improve significantly with another manager with different tactics I think you are wrong the midfield six are without doubt the worst selection of players I have seen representing SFC between 1962 and 2005 and since our returnto the PL under Adkins Whether there are worse squads currently in the PL only time will tell

The PL has some of the best attacking players in the world who at some time or other will outwit the defence so having a decent goalkeeper will prevent all the chances they create becoming goals

Since we have been in the PL we have continually sacked managers only to find ourselves in the same position near the bottom of the leaue We have only done well when we have had decent players the present squad does not have of the quality of MLT Pahars Niemmi Beattie Svensson Tadic Mane VVD Lallans Shaw Schederlin etc Without investment in players we will continually struggle

I agree but at the moment the Policy of SR is not working because there are many players who are not that good

Slightly different I think Villa have some decent players and are performing badly we have very few decent players and are performing as expected

In 2019 Jacob Rees-Mogg, spoke of the “broad, sunlit uplands that await us” thanks to Brexit has anybody seen them or are they still over the horizon

He played well some of the time and was better than what we have at the moment

It is unsurprising that the owners who appear to have an unproven ideology like Lis Truss are hiding and will offer Ralph as the fall guy as Lis did with Kamikasie Kwartang I know I am getting boring posting the same comments but the back 5 of the the team are OK but the front six in any combination are pretty poor Obviously a new coach could improve them but I just do not see that the improvement would be enough to keep us in the PL especially as the overall standard of most of the teams apart from Nottm Forest and Everton are the best they have been for sometime with Fulham having an outstanding striker. Lets hope Everton and Leicester continue to perform badly because Nottm Forest are probably already down

I would surprised if we got any points in these three games even if you were in charge with the players we have

Absolutely delusional Mickey Mouse has more chance of becoming manager than Poch

Do you not think that the players we have now are not very good we are in the PL without many experienced and talented PL players unlike most of the other teams in the league Do you really think another manager is going to make them start winning The whole idea of buying lots of young players and expecting to be competive is ridulous just like Lis Truss economic policies If it was a good idea why are not other players adopting the plan

We are going down because we have bought no experieced attacking players of quality for a long time
