Great finish. The lad has potential for sure, like the look of him.

Done very well then as well. Have to say, I prefer him there than up top. More like a 4231

Not one to blame refs, but he’s really not started well here. Given a few non fouls and not given Blatant ones. can see a dodgey pen given either way here.

0% of the ball, 100% of the man (late). Most obvious foul and yellow card you’ll ever see… Women on the commentary.. “what a great tackle”

Very much back to the 4222 it seems to me

1 win in 15…. Different coaching staff, new players, same results. Common denominator….. the alpine flopp. Get him out.

Maybe, but perhaps some of the coaching staff wanted to go for the win, rather than settle for a draw. The Alpine Flopp is overly defensive in his approach these days

Agreed. Looked quality today; especially going forward.

Correct. The screens are / were too big for the roof to hold. I’m not sure if or when the reinforcements are planned but from what I hear, it’s not a cheap process. A bit of a shambles really.

We don’t play to his strengths, as a striker. To get the best from him, we need to be playing more balls in behind. As a striker with his back to goal, he’s total crap. Wouldn’t mind seeing him on the left in a 433

It was a fantastic pass and I don’t think we have anyone else in the team who can thread a ball like that… however, people do love an overreaction don’t they. ”this boy is going to be a star” 😂

I think we saw the benefit of the backroom change yesterday. Continuous discussion between the coaching staff and Ralph, which ultimately led to good, correct subs. Had that been last season, I don’t think there is any way in hell we’d have come back from 2-0 down or made those subs.

Only after sitting in the CHAPLE END…

He’s terrible, worse finisher than Che. Gets loads of chances at Brighton and hardly takes them… exactly the sort we need to avoid

He’d be a good replacement for Che, I.e “second striker”, but I still feel like we need a replacement for Broja and one who can play on the shoulder / on the counter. Sorta what Armstrong should be doing, but better.

Just to play your best players, where possible, each week and not try and be smart. we’ve not got good enough player or management to try and be smart. Just do the basics.

And that’s ignoring a similar run at the end of the season before, as well. Truth be told, we’ve had a run of 2 Or 3 stints of form and the rest served up Has been total shit. Im expecting that we’ll pull the trigger and we’ll probably go down whilst the Ralph Cult will say “I told you so” ignoring that we’re on a relegation slide under him.

Personally I’d rather we booted Ralph and gave him a chance under new management, than getting rid of players like Diallo. I think he’s shown glimpses of being a decent player.

Perhaps Ralph should ask you to take the next team talk. I’d expect them to come out all guns blazing with your incredible words of wisdom. Or perhaps get a manager in who can actually boost moral in the dressing room.

Now there is someone who is lucky to be in the premier league….

No one has asked for sympathy, nor said that they’re not trying ‘to do their best’, however if you cannot see the impact motivation, moral and confidences has to a professional sportsman (in fact anyone), then that says more about you than them.

Another one who seemingly thinks that because footballers earn a lot of money, they shouldn’t suffer phycological and mental issues. “Who cares if you’re doubting your ability, just facking get on with it Innit.”

You’re a bit of a Wally, aren’t you.

I’d assume they used some form of broker to manage the sale, but as I understand it (pretty common knowledge), semmens hand picked who won the ‘bid’.

If you hate where you work and hate who you work for, subconsciously, would you work as hard?
