When he had a fit Ings, he managed at top 4 points tally over a 38 game run... 😅

@Matthew Le God

Romeu had a couple of nasty injuries early on if memory serves, so doesn't quite have the full mileage on him that other experienced pros do.

Just appoint Ralph already, then swap sick note for JWP and we're sorted.

I want exactly that - at skates away in the 95th minute to seal 3 points. With Ralph crying on his knees on the touchline whilst fist pumping the home fans. I haven't asked for much from SR...

Pretty accurate take though 😄

This in abundance.

Yeah, and funnily enough we'd some very good years out of the u18s in the years since 🤔

I'd have him back in a heartbeat, he's a known quality that loves the club and will light a rocket under all the players with shit attitude... Will be boufal, hoedt, lemina levels of clear out... 😅 We've also got the right players to play his 4-2-2-2 system. Charles / jander / romeu / Downes / matsuki / essay as CMs. Proper wide attacking mids in scienza, fellows, Robinson, Fraser, AA. And pacey strikers with decent movement in AA, Archer, and the academy lad. Plus Stewart when he is back. Not to mention good wing backs...

Excellent. Now get the former saint that is Ralph back in the building, and let's start smashing the league.

I would also be very interested in a poll on Ralph returning.

Coming back to it. I don't think it's too impossible that it may be Ralph. We've sacked the manager just a week after he was in the stands at city, and yes I know he was supposedly not there for us, but it's a long old way to go to see an old friend - only to spend your evening watching the game. In essence, I'm saying it shows he still retains a soft spot for saints... He's also available, he knows and loves the club, he's worked with spors historically, and he's got a history of being promoted (in the German leagues). He'll also know the culture of the recent German players and the red bulls type setup, and he won't take any shit from players like Downes, thb, Stephens etc.

Still quite literally only has himself to blame. Our league position with this squad is embarrassing. Fellows, Azaz, Scienza, AA... he has arguably one of the very best set of forward players in the league to chose from - and more importantly players that are tailor made for his own self declared favourite formation which he refused to play.... Let alone with the likes of Jander, Downes, and Charles behind them - or players like Jelert, Rooerslev, Wellington, Manning etc. This squad should be chasing autos, not only just sat above the relegation by virtue of Sheffield Wednesday imploding. The mistake SR have made is hiring Still - but still has very little to complain about. He has spectacularly failed.

Sounds like he is off to Wolves.

Carrick and Chally are the two best picks for me. Free or cheap compensation, and manager That is absolutely appalling.

Challinor, Carrick, Robins... selles... selles jr who will rasmus pick?

We might actually go back for selles...

Is he related to Selles? I reckon i've found Rasmus' type guys...

He's done very well with the U21s and he can't actually do worse than Still... but fucks sake SR, this is very underwhelming. 100% has the SR/Rasmus feel to it.

As Turkish said, Still was a brave/bold appointment that a lot of fans backed. It hasn't worked out. Generally though, spors' recruitment has been good. He has some credit in the bank.

Honestly, i think it highlights a serious weakness in Solak's judgement that he's still here.

Spors i think has some credit in the bank. The fact parsons is still at the club given the money that's been spent elsewhere is very disappointing.

And you know its going to happen as well 😰

he has to go surely? If he gets another game it would be ridiculous.

It really is odd how its all turned out. I think the job was just to big for him at such an inexperienced time of his career. I suspect we have some players from the Martin/Prem era that are mentally finished frankly - reading the comments from the new boys.
