We are SO devoid of any creativity Ralph makes them run around like lunatics in the 1st half... then we’re knackered. If we’re not 3 nil up at halftime then we’ll lose appalling Sunday league tactics. Awful.

Agreed, but can you tell me when he played a defence splitting pass before Romeu got injured. I can’t remember one. He doesn’t offer anything in open play. he takes the David beckham type position. beckham used to drill an 80 yard pass cross field to a winger in space JWP pings a 5yard sideways pass to a CB overrated

9? Vestergaard, Romeu, Djenopo. Anyone else ?

Disagree. JWP. Is fabulous at set pieces and work rate but I can’t remember the last time he playedan incisive, creative, forward pass b he plays the stats and he’s boring.

Can someone please tell Stephens he’s not beckenbauer. He keeps getting caught in possession and pings 40 yard passes straight to Arsenal. And the dream move for Walcott is slowly losing momentum. He has been anonymous the last few games and today. and Ralph has been Ralph’d. Arsenal came at us the first 15 and we had no answer. Need a plan b

Good call. Donated 👍

2 sides nearly sold out to saints fans... spuds have the whole of the Northam. Hundreds of tickets still available in the chapel... it won’t sell out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Understand the frustration with away allocations... will be interesting to see if the official stance changes given the official reply states that they take form into account. Back to the OP ref spurs tomorrow. As much I dislike the decision to let them have the whole of the Northam, I’ve just looked and still lots of tickets available in the chapel. Kind of vindicates their decision. 27k a available to saints and we can’t sell out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not sure if yoshi put a foot wrong? He was hardly stretched but was tidy enough. However in general I agree with you. Poor performance, no intensity. You would have thought they’d all be trying to prove something to Ralph but I guess not. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Cheers the cat. Mate going on hols so we were hoping they would have arrived by now so we can ‘redistribute ‘. As it is he’s gonna have to trust me with his keys [emoji16] And batman... thanks as always for your really useful input. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apologies if already posted but can’t see it elsewhere. 2 weeks left until I need my season ticket. I renewed in May... why has it not yet turned up? Is it on that slow boat from China with all the replica kits? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Bit surprised to see we haven’t even sold out for this one. Normally plenty of plastics fancy the Spurs game, plus the fact we’re fighting for our lives. Guess that extra tier is but a distant memory! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sorry to disappoint you Turkish but the song was original and sounded pretty decent. Hope it can get some traction so we get to sing something other than OWTS. Oh... and it was interesting how quickly you turned up to mock. Again. Just out of interest, where do you sit at st Mary’s? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Apologies if posted elsewhere but can’t find anything on it. Other night v Fulham , the Northam were singing a new chant about hojberg. Obviously, in true Northam fashion, there was lots of clapping but not many singing so therefore, despite being in the kingsland north, I could barely make any of the words out. It’s so rare that we actually come up with a new chant, I’d hate this one to die. Anyone got any idea on the words.. I’ll then sing it loud and proud to the rest of the kingsland massive/ family centre [emoji3] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[emoji817] don’t agree with the bell ends winding up the Cardiff fans, but Christ. Have a look on YouTube and see footage off Liverpool giving it about Munich on a regular basis I ( and in their hundreds). Chelsea and West Ham with anti Semitic chants. We have 2 fans being dicks. And this fake outpouring of grief is frankly laughable. Not seen anything like it since princess Di. No one in England had even heard of him before the crash! He means absolutely nothing to these people who end every sentence with #prayforsala. 99% of them don’t believe in god or go to church anyway. So why all of a sudden pray? Personally, I’m gonna make it my mission to have a minutes silence at the next game for the pilot. He has also been tragically lost and his family don’t have the comfort of at least the body being recovered. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thought we were fantastic today. Felt like the layers were all playing for each other and giving their all. Rubbed off on the fans as well. Best atmosphere for a long time. However.. in the system RH prefers we need 2 decent wingbacks. Left hand side I think is ok with Bertie and then targett as 2nd choice. Right hand side not good enough for right here right now. Valery a good right back but offers nothing going forward. Cedric the same. If we are to buy 1 player in this transfer window I’d go for an attacking right wing back. This sounds really negative, it’s not meant to be. Thought the boys demonstrated a hunger for the game and a togetherness we haven’t see for 3 or 4 years. Loved it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know what you mean, but we’ve got 2 choices. Find a brilliant young manager I.e poch/ Ralph and have a couple of seasons of excitement followed by a hope we find another, OR get on the merry go round of big Sam/ Hughes/ Pulis/ etc and become more and more disenfranchised Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know we have no time, but I don’t see the point in getting bent out of shape based on yesterday. Half that starting XI won’t start next week.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And that’s why you live in a teeny flat in Shirley. Behave!, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Christ!! Just chill the f##k out! We were awful today... based on a team picked from who trained on Thursday.. Give the bloke 2 months before you all wet the bed. Honestly... it’s hilarious watching you ****s!, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Horrible performance and result. But take a deep breath, Ralph now has a whole week to work out who his best team is I.e. not Vestergarrd, Austin or Targett. He picked today’s team based on what he saw from training on Thursday in which none of the team from the spurs game were involved. He said as much today. We have the spine of a mid table team... give it some time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not long back from the game. Thought gabbi was MOM by a country mile Please please play him in the same role for the next few games. Frustrating not to get 3 points I know but more positives from today than we’ve had in a while. Oh.. lazy decision from Hughes to bring on Austin rather than Obefami. Meant the successful tactic of high press at times in the 1st half was no longer available due to Austin’s lack of mobility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The answer is to go down and have a clear out from top to bottom. Lots of staff on bloated salaries sucking the funds out of the club due to bad decision making. I.e. Forster as 3rd choice keeper on about 80k a week. And as for a manager... I just want one he has a strategy that involves attacking. I didn’t like puel but at least he had a tactical idea. I was one of the ones who wanted him out and right now I regret it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

But having read the rest of your post yes.. I agree. The blame lies much further up than just the manager. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
