Pathetic team again... Yes we can blame the bloody Manager !!!
-
So Ralph still can’t actually decide between Gunn and McCarthy for this game. It’s is a clear misjudgement of the evidence before him that is so disturbing and encourages a lack of respect from his players and many fans. So many aspects of the game seem to pass him by...

The issue is more succession planning than indecision. Any board will demand high cap ex requests goes through them for agreement that is common sense and happens at every single club and company in the land.... -
Yes Scotland is a lower standard, however I agree that the step Change points to our non existent coaching whereby not one single player has improved under Ralph.
-
We simply have to flood the midfield we are nonexistent there and as a consequence surrender control of every game. One up front which changes to two or three when we have the ball and are attacking. There is no point in having two or three permanently up front we will be taken apart. We need to be more flexible in and out of procession and have some decent strategic coaching which there is fat chance of with Ralph defending or attacking....
-
I disagree our **** poor recruitment is to blame here not lack of money.... Add non existent coaching and Ralph’s wish for a small squad and bingo...
-
It doesn’t actually / we have wasted just south of 100m on crap so money doesn’t buy you success. Look at Shef Utd for instance etc etc ... It’s about how you select who you buy and how you select the under 23 team etc and below... It’s about a complete lack of coaching of what you have already too.
-
Two huge issues at our club - recruitment and coaching you can’t blame the owner for either...
-
Just remind us who wanted this small squad and loaned those two out ????
-
He can bloody well coach them! Obviously though he cannot do that and has proved this by ensuring every single player has become worse and worse. He simply has to be sacked !!!!
-
Sorry but these players whilst not that good have not become twice a bad this season for no reason.... Ralph is completely clueless ?????
-
If we just take your suggestion in Gunn then that is bizarre on its own. You appear to be super defensive of Ralph’s team selection and it’s difficult to imagine why you would be given this season’s odd team selections. Still that’s your prerogative and I wouldn’t wish to deny you that...
-
I think you are taking things out of perspective there. It’s easy to beat a few cones in training but performing under pressure in a match is entirely different. Some players cannot do it when in a competing environment. So, no matter how god you are in training it means nothing if you cannot produce in the Premier League. If Ralph is like you and allows his judgement to be influenced by training effort only he will make the wrong personnel decisions and in fact has been...
-
Training doesn’t matter... If you are crap in a game time after time then you should not be in the team - simple as that. What this says is that Ralph has favourites and this seems to cloud his judgement to the detriment of the team which in turn messes with team morale which has looked low for a while now. Of course there are other factors too...

This is frankly drivel..... Ralph might work very very hard, however this just makes me more concerned with what he achieves with this hard work. He seems to be Manager who keeps doing what he has always done and then is surprised when he keeps getting the same results. He just repeats repeats. It’s the same bodies playing the same poor football picked over plainly better players... Ralph is just continuing to walk blindly on and seems oblivious to his mistakes. For this reason it concerns me that we are backing him to this extent, after all he hasn’t really shown any sign of improving what he has got. I am not sure if the new coach he brought in is his No2 or just another bib distributor... Certainly again no improvement shown since he was brought on board. You cannot run a Premier League football team without an assistant that is a definite.. I am not buying this King Ralph thing. If he’s working that hard and producing this dross how will he change? The wise guys don’t work harder they get cleverer.. Ralph can work 24 hours a day but if he’s making poor decisions the whole time he will still end up with same result...
-
Come on, Ralph has shown no skill or initiative in coaching these players. Time and again the common thread on here is that players have actually regressed since Ralph has lost Rohl. We are plainly getting worse and worse, if there was sign of improvement then fine, however there isn’t. Yes there are huge problems with ambition, losing mentality, recruitment etc but undeniably Ralph is bringing nothing to these players and the team. Even his team selection is completely weird, for example what exactly does McCarthy have to do to be picked with Gunn being abysmal for weeks. Sorry to say for many reasons that Ralph just isn’t at the races and clearly he has lost the dressing room too. One thing he is certainly not is the Austrian Klopp ....
-
Would a new man lose a game 9.0 even with this squad? We are in bottom 3 and lose 9.0 with players obviously not trying is that not a basis for grave concerns over our manager?

Immediate future- where does this leave us?
captainchris replied to saints-til-i-die's topic in The Saints
Wasn’t it Ralph himself who said we need a small squad? Whether we believe the alternatives are not as good our perseverance with certain current first teamers including the captain is proving to be a disaster. Ralph always seems blind to the needs of the team and prefers his obstinate personality driven methods which never work in any work environment. Ralph seems to have so many ‘issues’ going on with players that he is digging a big hole for himself with credibility in his squad and with fans and results he cannot be allowed to continue, the **** pile he has managed to construct is now too big. -
Get him in now... We need a strong personality more than ever....

Too many people blaming anyone but Ralph. Ralph has been bizarre with his management this season. Poor team selections and strange obsession with picking players totally out of form in favour of plainly better players, tactics have been changing with bemusing regularity, coaching has been plainly NON EXISTENT, Ralph clearly does not grasp the marking theory or the fact that you must close space in the area south of the penalty area - we just don’t. We continually stand off - this is coaching. Ralph is clearly crap without his side kick... Sorry to say he is really lacking and the players obviously know he can’t hack it. There is also a major issue with the lack of a winning mentality at the club. This is very prevalent with the lack of a bullish attitude from top to bottom at the club, the acceptance of mediocrity from all levels of management, directors and coaching staff and actually even some supporters who claim to be better fans if they accept **** poor performance. In this life if you are not a winner you lose!

To be fair Ralph has been abysmal on many levels this year and this has been coming with his very strange obsession with players in poor form continually being picked, confused tactics and on the evidence seen really poor coaching... He has to go....
