Wow, Nottm Forest and now Leeds in the space of a week. Just when you want the clubs below us to stay there and drop points and both have Liverpool within the space of a week, you’d expect them both to get zero points 95% of the time. Three points for them both is probably how our luck is shaping this season 😩

Obviously the only way it was going to go, those three get three points and we get nothing. Even Nottm Forest showed a little backbone yesterday, what happened to us giving the big guns a hard time at home? I don’t usually worry about us dropping away, but this season is starting to look it, we don’t have any attacking integrity about us.

I love how we have reverted to win it back, hoof it clear, allow them to attack again. Rinse and repeat, what a farse. No wonder they’ve had 92% possession the last 5 mins ffs.

Edozie having the attacking mentality bashed out of him before he can get a full 90. Shown too much promise in the final third to deserve a start.

Possession 40/60 Shots 8/23 Corners 4/12 What have we become? Ffs, we’re at home against a team who had a game Thursday night.

May as well prepare for that inevitable, gut-wrenching 2-1 loss whilst holding a 1-0 lead for half the match.

Another 6 in the second half would do! 😬 But, WHU with 10 shots off target and with ABK out, fearing for their first shot on target 😩

Ralph might be a likeable guy and I’d love for him to be successful, but, just like the latter months of last season, he’s getting no tune from a group of players who are far better than the performances they are currently producing. Wether it’s his tactical style, what they are being coached or just purely lacking in confidence, something has to change and #1 obvious decision is to change our manager before we eat through all our winnable games before Qatar.

Seriously, Edozie. Bring him on, give him more than five minutes. He’s shown more attacking intent than anyone in our last two matches and has had two subs appearances of 10 and 20mins. Give him 45, the guy had a good international break, what does he have to do to get more than 5mins to produce a miracle when we are chasing games?

The tactic of defending for 80mins, hoping we’re still in the game, drawing or only a goal behind and chucking six attackers on for the last ten minutes seems to be the Ralph way and it’ll work every once in a while, but you’re definitely losing more than you’ll win or draw with such an awful plan. Edozie, Aribo and Stu should be starting far ahead of Diallo, Moi and Djenepo and I’d be sticking Mara ahead of A.Armstrong. One of the most likely games to pick up points and secure a good start before the WC and we are pissing it away by playing far from our strongest starting XI.

Edozie should have started after his twenty minute cameo against Wolves. Beggars belief if anyone in the coaching staff actually takes note of anything positive. A blind bloke seen how well he ran at the Wolves defence a couple of weeks ago ffs, 70mins of no SOT’s and he’s still warming the bench hahaha, unbelievable.

Had seen Ronaldo getting off the team bus five times before kick-off in their match v Leicester. The same interview another five times with Man City’s new defender. And they got woman in white, sitting on the couch, to give her examination of Man City’s transfer window, expertly stating it’s been exceptional because they signed Haaland. Groundbreaking.

Looks like a mass ‘Ralph train’ revealing beyond 10pm and it’s looking more and more like it, if we actually have anything over the line yet.. Defenders and Midfielders but not a much needed big Striker would be the only disappointment to end a very very strong window.

A quick search seems to suggest this guy is already signing for Monza.

Would love a point right now and I don’t think it’s any less than we would deserve. Play like this throughout the season and we’ll be alright, for sure.

Amazing what happens when you play with a few attacking options on the field rather than a bench full of them and five at the back.

Times up, hoping for a performance, we’re still in bed. Zero points from at least the first five games, it’s desperate not being able to beat a Leeds side that should have been down last year. I hope the fans are making it clear in the stadium that we don’t want him anymore, or we just sitting quietly and accepting it?

Got confidence that we’ll play well today, it’s definitely our most winnable game of the first five by far and if we come away from these first set of games, with 3/4 points or miraculously more, I think we should be happy. Opposingly, if we get gubbed today, it could see us bottom of the league, five matches in with zero points, that would just leave us in an awful position unless by some miracle, 16/17th place was still within three or four points of us by then. Expecting us to be up for this game, soon find out how we expect things to go when the 2pm teamsheet is released, but I’ve got confidence we can take a few goals off this Leeds team and play well.

Newcastle will end up finishing above us, how depressing when they’d only one win and had hardly hit double figures by Xmas 😩

Packed up, gone home and stuck our feet up with a half-time lead as usual, nobody at the club realised yet there’s two halves of 45mins to a game of football?

I think we do, we get sucker-punched in most games that we dominate statistically. We can have 15 shots and score 0, whereas the opposition score their only shot on target. Or, we have 70% possession and end up on the losing side. I would love nothing more than a thumping 4-0 win, but it just hasn’t happened for us like that for a while now.

LOL, Xmas? I think they need a meeting on Monday morning.

Gotta find something to give it, eh. Time for someone to photoshop out a hair before getting a kid to draw their lines up.

I know Newport are sub-standard in comparison to Premier League opposition. But, 0-10 would be a positive piece of media coverage for once.

Jesus Christ. Everton put 3 past this team. Man Utd put 4 past Everton. 5 past Leeds, sadly to say a better team than us right now. Hold onto your hats for 9 with this awful selection. Had high high hopes for Ralph. It’s diminishing by the game, it’s time for a change if he thinks this is our best side.
