I actually thought he had a good game today, barring that 1 on 1 miss.

I was behind Ralph before today but his team selection and subs were unforgivable to be honest. He won't get sacked but if we start poorly next season then who knows.

We need to bin him off immediately. He's abolutely dross.

McCarthy; KWP, Stephens, Vestergaard, Salisu; JWP, Armstrong; Djenepo, Tella; Adams, Ings. Subs: Forster, Bednarek, Ferry, Diallo, Romeu, Minamino, Redmond, Walcott, Obafemi.

Yeah I'd imagine this is the case

Very solid display today. Armstrong, JWP, KWP & Adams stood out and I thought the defence was ok, especially Stephens. Minamino and Redmond don't offer anywhere near enough for me. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Tella next season though. He looks like a real talent.

Forster; KWP, Stephens, Vestergaard, Salisu; JWP, Armstrong; Tella, Redmond; Adams, Ings. Subs: McCarthy, Ramsay, Ferry, Jankewitz, Diallo, Minamino, Djenepo, Walcott, Obafemi.

Would definitely like to see Salisu replace Bednarek for the last few games.

I agree. Obviously we would have to do our best to replace Ings with someone else who is a better finisher than Adams.

Terrible today. Send him back.

Thought Adams was quality tonight. Looks a lot better when Ings is playing.

Forster; KWP, Salisu, Vestergaard, Stephens; JWP, Jankewitz; Armstrong, Tella; Ings, Obafemi. Subs: McCarthy, Bednarek, Ramsay, Ferry, Diallo, Djenepo, Minamino, Redmond, Adams.

I'd agree with this. Ralph clearly has his faults and he seems to have lost the plot a little but if we're being honest the squad is very average.

Forster; KWP, Vestergaard, Salisu, Bertrand; Jankewitz, JWP, Tella, Armstrong; Adams, Ings. Subs: McCarthy, Bednarek, Stephens, Ferry, Diallo, Djenepo, Minamino, Walcott, Redmond. Bednarek needs a game or two away from the starting 11 and Diallo has been very poor lately. I'd also bring Adams back in for Redmond who has reverted back to his usual self.

Just a pathetic performance really. I'd rather we'd just gone for it and lost 2 or 3-1. It's a one off game FFS. Go for the win. Seems like we were scared to lose.

This. I'd like to see Watson moved on, think we need a freshen up in that department.

Signing Walcott permanently would be madness. A complete waste of wages. Djenepo is the future, Walcott most certainly is not.

JWP and Walcott were diabolical tonight and the others weren't far behind. Thought Armstrong was our only decent player and Djenepo looked lively. For me, Ralph has one game to save his job.

Although I don't feel like there's any real chance of relegation now, I think winning this one would pretty much guarantee our place in the league next season. I'd like to see us go with our strongest team tomorrow and on Sunday against Leicester. There's enough time between games for recovery and I think it's what we need - a consistent settled side.

Totally agree with this. After the first 30 mins we were the better team for the rest of the match. You could see what Ralph had worked on with the players during the international break - creating chances. I can't remember a match where we looked so threatening in the final third.

I thought it was a foul on KWP in real time but having seen the replay I think he needs to be a bit stronger in that situation. As you say, if it was given it would've been soft.

Pope did make some very good saves but you could argue he should've stopped Armstrong's goal..

Redmond looks a different player now his confidence is up. The key is to keep this form going. Armstrong was class and Ings looked back to his usual self after a break. Thought KWP was off colour and Walcott was very poor (apart from the assist) Deserved win in the end and good to see us creating so many chances against a side that generally don't concede a lot of goals.

Good goal that. Lovely touch to set himself up and then a decent finish into the corner.

How many other strikers in the bottom half of the league have a better return? There are a few but not many. 7 goals and 4 assists is not bad, there are still 9 games left as well, so would expect him to get a few more. Redmond has never produced more than 4 assists or 7 goals in a season, granted before this season he's played in a slightly different position. Surely if SKD says Redmond has been "average" and that's ok because he only cost us £10 million, then the same can be said of Adams, no?
