I don't want to cast all the blame on Redmond for another loss, but my god, it seems that most of our attacking play breaks down when it gets to Redmond. A slightly better effort in the second half but overall yet another toothless display. It does seem that unless we get a free kick that JWP might dispatch we have no chance of getting a result.

A lot of comments mention high energy, it makes me wonder if it's actually the high energy that is doing us in. Perhaps High Energy = Tiredness, Capitulation and injuries.

Why is it that our opposing managers always seem to make tactical changes at half time that change the game and yet we seem to go from bad to worse. It pains me to lump criticism at Ralphs doorstep given the injuries and the lack of investment but I think he has to shoulder some of the responsibility for these dire performances. Two 9-0 losses in two seasons is unimaginable and frankly criminal, even a none league club losing 9-0 against a top premier top would be highly embarrassed by being done by that margin. We have become very predictable, 1st half high press, 2nd half legs gone. Come on Ralph, I genuinely want you to come good but the clock is now ticking.

A bit too early to judge but the first signs are good which can’t be said for some of our acquisitions in the last few years, many of which looked totally dog as soon as they touched the ball.

I'm not worried about relegation but I am very worried about our abysmal drop in form. Outside the first eleven our squad is weak and unless it is strengthened in the summer I will be worried about relegation.

Is Ralph losing the plot! Armstrong off ffs.

If that was the case perhaps in hindsight Djenepo shouldn't of even been on the bench............................................just saying.

That's why I said Gao Knows. Btw, are you bracing yourself for the snow, I live in Kent as well.

I've not seen the game so I cannot comment on it, but having seen most of the games before the Man U fiasco it was obvious that our form was going downhill. I have a lot of time for RH but I don't think he escapes some blame in all of this and has been found out a bit tactically, but the biggest problem is our general strength in depth proven by the fact that as soon as a few first team players got injured we have fallen to pieces. Why on earth we didn't pull out the stops to get decent cover in at the back Gao knows.

Even Jesus was only crucified once.

Demoralised and fucked off, nite.

Good, Grealish has broken his................. headband.

We have a right back on the bench which makes it more unbelievable.

Bad to worse

We are completely void of ideas atm.

Tbh I think he is playing OK, what I have noticed is that he will pass and then go on a run into a dangerous position but does not get the ball back. Also think Diallo and JWP should swap positions.

Ignore

93 minutes hopefully

Great player.

sotonians.com will more than likely have some Dell pics.

He didn't blend in here.

Anyway 🤪

Yes he did, didn’t he chuck it in when someone threatened him along with threatening to burn his house down?. Had some great laughs on that forum along with numerous volatile moments.

Yes strange one, he came across as literate and intelligent but would continually repeat his predictions at every opportunity. Either he was on a windup or had issues or both.

Batman and Glasgow, two of the more recent casualties of the forum cleansing. It must be relatively easy to moderate the forum now but imo I do miss the spats at times.
