When Lavia is fit we should play 4-3-3 with Diallo and JWP infront of him. As he showed when he came on tonight, Diallo is great at carrying the ball forward. Much better as an 8 than at 6.

Adams won us that game because other than that we were absolutely awful

Ffs just give Edozie a chance

Semmens is just carrying on from where super Les Reed left off

Just beg that Ralph doesn't play Adam Armstrong upfront on his own if Che is out.

I'll be going to the Bell opposite Pokesdown train station. Think it's about a 15 minute walk to the ground from there.

IMO he actually got off very lightly after being smashed 9-0 twice and a fair few other drubbings. To say the fans haven't been patient is ridiculous.

Agreed. He's a solid defender at this level. Nothing special but good enough for us.

Yep. No doubt we will be adding Bournemouth, Palace and Newcastle to the list soon.

Would be a good appointment. Even better if he brought Okafor with him!

We need to start picking up wins against the teams around us, especially at home. 9 points minimum before the world cup really.

It's that much of a poor competition I almost played in it a couple of years ago

Blackmore seems to have this unwavering loyalty to Hassenhuttl and Semmens. Basically saying we have the worst squad in the league (it isn't great but it's not as bad as 12 points in 20 games). Seems to me he's trying to point the finger at SR (who spent almost £70 million this summer) and the fans.

From what we know so far - some of the players aren't playing for him and the majority of the fanbase are now against him. Once you've lost a number of the players, that's the beginning of the end and there's no coming back. So I have no idea what SR are waiting for.

Probably about time the fans showed their feelings in the ground. Seemed to work to get Puel the boot.

If Howe was available I'd 100% take him.

Thought Leeds were unlucky today. Both teams looked better than us anyway.

You do get the sense (from the telegraph/athletic article) that we are just trying to get a replacement lined up before we sack him.

Agree with this. For me, getting rid of Semmens and Ralph and then signing a striker in the January window would be a serious statement. Yes it's a lot of change but then again it's needed. Whether this happens is yet to be seen...

He has a lot to work on but the big difference to him and McCarthy is that he's 10 years or so younger.

At this moment in time I'd take 3 points - but even that shouldn't be enough to see him keep his job. Can't wait for the Bournemouth fans to pipe up after they've beaten us.

Yep it's either they pull the trigger now or wait until after the Arsenal game.

We will somehow get a result which will keep Ralph going yet again, then we will proceed to lose against West Ham and Bournemouth.

Exactly. Plus Rasmus Ankersen did really well at Brentford. I did like Semmens initially but I've become unsure after the last couple of fan forums. Certainly wouldn't lose any sleep if he and Toby Steele left.

Does that article actually say anything new though? Seems like a rehash of the Athletic article posted earlier in the week.
