I'm reserving judgement until the World Cup break. If it looks like we haven't improved from last season by then, I'd consider our options, maybe at the end of the season if we end up 15th again. If we're in the bottom 3 after the Liverpool game, definitely sack him.
-
Sounds a bit like us when Koeman took over. If they're smart, they'll sell and bring in someone else with the money
-
Yeah, catch 22. As we are so poor defensively, better to go with the formation that makes us somewhat decent in attack. They've conceded the same amount of goals we have so we can hurt them, may as well go for it. Will be fun that's for sure.
-
Not sure if you're trolling but I'll bite - the equaliser all came about from when Che held it brilliant from a Bazunu long ball.
-
What fallout?? All it looked like to me was a tactical discussion between our coaching staff, something which wouldn't have happened last season. Ralph's got people he can trust, so big positive for me.
-
Immediate subs made a difference. Usually we're crap at coming from behind, especially at home, but you could see there was energy and belief once we switched formation and started to hurt them, and the fans felt that too for sure.
-
They're still a decent team. Will be tough. We've got to massively improve defensively to get anything here.
-
Nigel Adkins ahead of his time, he used Lambert off the bench to great effect, against Man City and his final game at Chelsea
-
Just got back from the game. First half was fairly even, nothing between the teams, other than a chance Leeds probably should've scored. To concede immediately after half-time is really, really poor. And at 2-0 you think it's game over. We looked so much better when Armstrong, Aribo and Mara came on. I can see the logic with the 5-3-2, we have conceded too many goals and Ralph had to try to change it. But all it has achieved is made us weaker in attack, and we're still shit at defending. It's simply got to go, it doesn't work, and those last 20 minutes show that.
-
Yeah and funnily enough I was right then as well. I do miss the days when literally everyone hated Pellegrino. The last time the fan base was united
-
Exactly my view. We needed a squad rebuild and clearly some players aren't part of the plan. Some of them shouldn't be, quite frankly.
-
Many of the players are stealing a living here. If Ralph has pissed them off, GOOD! I back Ralph over the players all day long.
-
I wish they'd have got a player there as well
-
Ralph's been honest, his direct style will rub people up the wrong way but at least he's not being wishy washy Martin has been a bit too confrontational and defensive for me. Toby gave a poor response to the away fans issue, basically dismissing it as not a problem, when it obviously is.
-
Good last question, I'm not happy with this "let's just stay in the league" stuff
-
Last question about JWP testimonial
-
I'm still convinced there are more than 3 teams that will finish below us. I reckon we'll be OK once Ralph sorts out some of the tactical issues and we get out of this rut.
-
And asking a question that let's be honest most people don't really care about
-
Everyone here was saying we should play Armstrong over Adams last week...
-
Who's this muppet?
-
Glad Ralph got a cheer. Pretty sure the fans are still with him

It would be more annoying than embarrassing - we could batter them all game and they score with their only chance, that's football. -

They have far more reasons to be scared of us, and we'd almost certainly play our first team. Premier League defences can cope with our movement, but they can't. -
Seeing the away kit in person... I wasn't a fan. The light blue is a bit bright for me. Shame because I like the design The green one in person looks good imo. Better to wear casually
