Well it wasn’t daylight robbery for a start. Bournemouth might argue they deserved a point but nothing more. We defended well I thought.

The team that should have been 3-0 up was West Ham

Unfortunately I feel exactly the same, I’m just clinging to the hope that Bournemouth bottle it as per.

That’s because he is not a Premier League defender and the fact we played him so much and that some fans STILL try to make a case for him tells you all you need to know about how shite we have been at the back.

Scott Parker 😱 🤣 Who’s next to be linked? Tony Adams?

Bournemouth will psych themselves out like they usually do when they play us at home. 2-1 to Saints. Thats my optimistic, please God I have to live in this town mentality. In realistic terms I’m dreading it unless one of our “strikers” suddenly remembers what that thing with a net each end of the pitch is for.

No he didnt, he used Strachan as an example of a manager who could get the team fit and motivated, he didnt suggest him as Ralph's replacement. He talked a lot of crap after the game yesterday but that's one thing you've mis-heard or understood.

Absolutely, and let’s be honest, if West Ham had packed their shooting boots yesterday that point would have been a distant hope by half time

I listened too and whether I lost it in translation or not I’m not sure but one minute he was saying we weren’t good enough, it was poor etc then all of a sudden it was on the fans cos we can’t expect them to win the league !!! Bring back big Dave ffs

You can leave it where you like but it’s 3 wins in 22.

That’s for sure. Huge gamble given the Stoke debacle.

IF you did hear correctly I would suggest thats more bullshit from Ralph, as he's prone to in these pressers. All these signings from City, Its a bloody big coincidence IF that was true isnt it ?

After only being here 4 months I’d say it’s pretty big news.

If they bothered to read any of your posts they could add supported by imbeciles to their list !

Go back to the pressing game, be in the faces of the opposition, make it difficult for them. This tepid, ineffective style we are playing now makes us too easy to play against.

We need the minimum of 3 points out of those 3 games. Bournemouth away is our best chance cos whenever we go there they get over excited and blow any chance they have. I’m hoping for the same again.

It’s sensible if you get an older, experienced manager in to guide him and help him for a couple of years which I guess was/is the plan with the guy who’s come in as first team coach.

We are between 18 and 22-1 with various bookies to win Saturday if anyone feels so inclined 😇🤣

Mediocrity is one thing.....total shite is quite another

How much of this though is down to Prof Clever Arse insisting on playing one upfront throughout pre season and in the first game ? Who was to know that just 8 games in we would be on our third formation reset and he would decide to revert to two strikers which of course we haven’t got ?

Can’t wait to see Ralph’s plan to stop City ! 😱

Adams is definitely a support striker, having him as main striker is asking for trouble. I know he tries, he’s got the pace and he’s definitely been better this season but Adam Armstrong is not a Premier League striker and won’t be as long as he’s got a hole in his arse,

Umm, not just young players I suspect. There’s a reason Redmond went from being a shoe in every week come what may to not even making the bench, why Adams couldn’t get a kick towards the end of last season, the weird reluctance to start Stuart Armstrong etc etc. He is indeed a stubborn sod. I just wonder if he’s like that with his coaching staff how long the new First Team Coach will either last or run off and tell the owners that RH is impossible to work with? I wonder if Maitland Niles has upset him already? Might find out tomorrow.

its both BUT without the creativity the strikers situation is almost secondary except on the odd occasion they do get a chance there is even more pressure on them to take it.
