If you're on his wages then yes, it's a reward.

A good coach tunes his formation, tactics etc to suit his squad. Ralph has never done this. That's why he needs to go.

If Ralph stays the way he has been since he joined then I am pleased to hear he is planning to move on. Personally I would prefer he left sooner. If we are planning to move on and upwards then we need a better class of coach and coaching staff. Yes he may improve but that's a big If. So far with his record I think we need a better manager

But KWP is better than Livramento though when played in his proper position. Perraud doesn't play as I suspect Ralph knows KWP will leave if he doesn't get game time

But we are patently not better at going forward are we. The Ralph fans obsess about how we have improved defensively this season although that is laughable. Ralph is flawed at every part of coaching.

Sad thing here is that you're serious. A high quality manager chooses the best squad, formation and tactics to suit his team. Ralph's doesn't do any of those things.

Standard Saints. We scrape a few wins against the worst teams in the league. We perform well in the first half yet can't achieve anything. We play players out of position. Second half we get random substitutions and completely fail to counter the opposition . Ralph seems confused how we lose again. Ralph is the problem. Fans biting at each other on here just makes it more amusing.

3 wins against the worst teams in the league. A little perspective

Another two points dropped and the blame as usual is on Ralph. Baffling squad and substitutions again. Our squad isn't great but a decent coach would do better than this. Reading that Ralph wasn't unhappy with the result really sums it all up. He is absolutely clueless

Is Ralph deliberately weakening our team as he feels sorry for Leeds and their injury issues?

Both of them in the team responsible for supplying our forwards is a terrifying thought. I really feel for Armstrong .

I've said it before. We could be a decent side if not for Ralph being soo God damned inept. Ralph is incapable of setting up the team in any attacking sense. Yet you guys are getting excited over a few draws.

The good play only came once Armstrong was replaced.

So why does Ralph pick those players then? The team wasn't set up to provide Armstrong the service he needs. The whole team was disjointed and was never going to work.

Can't help but think we could be a decent side if not for Ralph. We have some decent options yet we are continually hamstrung by Ralph's complete inability to coach the side.

Reckon it's a master-stroke by Ralph. Get the 9 nil loss out of the way early in the season so the rest of the season doesn't seem so bad.

He won't walk as he knows he won't get another job in the EPL where survival is considered success. He needs to be sacked and should have been already

None of these 3 players are anywhere close to the quality of Ings.

How is he clearly a quality manager? Can you list his attributes please.

I've not seen any sign of Ralph realising that Redmond is utter garbage. He consistently plays him regardless of how useless he is.

Ralph never takes responsibility after a poor performance. He never has. He refuses to learn from his continual mistakes. Scraping a draw with 10 men does not make him the messiah. Other lower prem coaches manage it every season. Our team statistics should be enough reason to sack him.

Please can you list Ralph's attributes. Commenting that anyone who disagrees with your opinion on Ralph lacks intelligence is arrogant in the extreme.

Agreed. Prowse gets away with heaps because he is home grown. The face of our once fantastic academy. The fact he has never been connected to any other teams is telling. He just isn't anything great. Personally in regards to the game, I didn't stay up til 1.30 am to watch it once I saw that Redmond was up as a striker again. Gave up and went to bed instead. Result was predictable.

Our players are so disorganised, the style doesn't work. There is no thought in how we are set up. Its on Ralph, he needs to go. Completely out of his depth

This proves Redmond's level is Championship if nothing else. Still woeful no matter what happens in this game. Do this in a proper game consistently if you want to prove yourself
