Oh I agree. I think we’ve always been shit defensively. We’ve literally lost 9-0 2 seasons on the bounce and we’re lucky to avoid it this season. When Broja stopped playing well and causing the other team problems, we literally have fuck all about us other than a JWP free kick.

Broja stopped playijg well.

Ralph can’t set a team up to be solid and grind out results consistently. We’ve had him for 3 years and never seen a sniff of him being able to.

Probably a bit of brilliance from an individual and Ralph making some decent changes. Which is why it won’t happen.

Aye? What relevance has that got on who Ralph selects? Reality is, Broja and Armstrong are both better than Long.

Hipsters dream

Depends on how much they’re willing to spend and who they buy. Spunking money left right and Center Didn’t work for Parker last time so You’d think he learn a bit. I like Parker, but think championship is his level. Seems very 1 dimensional

Agreed. Thought first half they were on top though. credit to Parker, whatever he done at half time has worked a treat.

Not watching, but not surprised. Shit defender.

Bournemouth and Fulham won’t be push overs next season. Neither will forest should they come up via the play offs.

I know there have been many, endless, ongoing debates around Broja. However, if he had tadic behind him, he’d have scored a shit load more goals. Imo of course. For me our 10’s (or lack of) is the biggest issue in our squad. We simply have no creativity.

Pretty much how I see it. I think Leeds are gone.

He’s not wrong though, we are/we’re an established premier league team. When Ralph leaves, In the main he’ll be remembered for 2 9-0 defeats, not that we finished a couple of places outside the drop zone.

To be fair, as much as I think Broja has given up, our service to them has been just as bad. Harsh to solely blame the strikers, we’re not good enough in every single position on the pitch, baring GK for the past few weeks.

They’re dreadful, offer us nothing. Why do we continue to persist with them and some idiot (Dave Watson) is getting paid to look at these sort of thing. Besides them being total garbage, using the CB to take the throw, which never seems to beat the first man just leave our shape all over the place. Very, very weird we’ve continued to use these.

I’d expect it to be Crocker playijg a very big part in this and if I’m honest; I’d trust his judgement. I’d love us to go for Cooper if forest don’t go up. Worked with him at the FA so will be aware of his qualities.

Stating the obvious I know, but Ralph calling him out. Think it’s clear that his head isn’t here for next season, which is a shame, but if that’s the case, we need to give those that will be a chance to shine. The fact AA is so far down the pecking list is a far bigger concern and a big problem for us.

We need a clear out all across the playing staff imo. The players need to shoulder a lot of the responsibility as well and half of them just mentally are far to weak to be premier league players. Time and time again, when the going gets tough, they give up. Im not a huge fan of Ralph in terms of his management ability, I think he’s massively overrated and seemingly many make any excuse for him. That being said, he seems a decent, honest, bloke and when he does go, I’d wish him all the best in the future. Big job for the new ownership to turn this ship around imo.

We’re just easing him in and saving his huge untapped potential for next season

Recent form is exactly the same as it was this time last season, which makes its even more unacceptable.

Fuck; they could be in big trouble. Still fancy Everton to get out for some reason. Probably because they have decent players, despite the manager being crap.

Ahhh I wondered what this years excuse would be. Last season they blamed injuries, this season they blame ££. Basically anything but the manager. Invest or lack of doesn’t seem to have impacted Brentford, who are basically playing with the same side they had in the championship last season.

I suspect the selecting process was more about who would allow semmens and co to stay in a job.
