To quote Capt. Blackadder, “we have battle plans?”.

I think Ralph has taken us about as far as he can. Another manager would have a different philosophy and perhaps the competition for places new manager would create would help. Trouble is, we’d need to get this appointment spot on and I’m not confident we would.

There’s no one out there like a Case, Cockerill, Townsend or Horne out there rallying the troops. JWP just shrugs and takes it and that sets the tone for the whole team.

What our lot? Nah, they just accept everything put their heads down and trudge back to the halfway line.

Pretty much. This season is always going to be one where we hold our breath and hope for the best. If we can survive the future will hopefully be brighter with all the salary and dead wood we shifted.

We’d better hope that when they do score that that defence are wide wake that day...

Yep.

Knowing our luck Saints will promote Redmond to player manager...

JWPs set pieces have been utter gash. He keeps floating free kicks behind the attacking players. Where’s that whipped delivery he’s known for?

The problem is, we need to score to win. Where’s that goal going to come from? Adams P71 G13 18.3% A Armstrong P6 1G 16.7% Redmond P172 G20 11.6% Elyanoussi P22 G4 18% Djenepo P51 G3 5.9% JWP P275 G31 11.3% Romeu P186 G5 2.9% No one better then a goal every 5 games...

Wolves looked unfit and were fucking shit and we didn’t even lay a glove on them. Aside from Tino’s snap shot, the rest of the on target “efforts” were muffed shots that trundled slowly through to the keeper. I think what worries me most was that when chasing the game Tella was not tried and RH decided that Shane “goals goals goals” Long was the answer. Very worrying times.

Yawn. It’s fucking boring watching this plodding clueless team.

Look at that Djenepo trying to cross one in and the forwards are so static not on their toes at all looking to make a darting run. So easy to defend against.

Do we ever win a header from a corner?

Tella was electric at the end of last season so genius Ralph “the cooler” Hassenhuttl lets him cool off on the bench...

Ugh, Long...

We don’t know how to score.

Rumour has it that Ralph has been helping Padraig with his picking pairings this week...

Ralph’s thrown the towel in, but he muffed his throw and it’s gone back in his face.

They’ve probably spent all week blowing each other over a 0-0 at City. Trouble is, it’s better to lose that one and win this one than scrape a draw and then deliver this dross and lose today.

Is that fucking Shane Long? so we’ve given up then?

Decent isn’t good enough when we need, brilliant or deadly.

Fucking joke that Elyanousi and Redmond anywhere near a prem team and we start both. Forum experts are bit quiet right now. Where’s the high horse crowing now?

And thus is the problem. We can’t rely on the defence to try and draw 0-0 each week. No goals in this side. Apart from Tino’s shot we’ve not looked like scoring at all.
