Ralph reaction to Leicester win


Batman

Recommended Posts

Unbelievably proud today with the players

I am in a fantastic job at this club

the passion of the squad is outstanding

We played perfect counter attacking football in the 1st half

we forced mistakes and that is how we scored

Long was key for us

we were brave today

we had to defend like a real team with fantastic commitment

I said to Shane, you deserve to score, you work so hard

he is quick and has a good head, his mentality is good

it was a good game from him

I hope I can bring him back to how he was a couple of years ago

I think the 2nd yellow for Valery was harsh

Maybe a warning would have been better

but it was harsh

we focused our balance and shape

we played 531 and sat deep, we defended well

I told them they must stay in the shape, and keep it narrow in the 2nd half

it was a marvellous win today

This game must be a boost for us

Can't see Long going anywhere now to be honest, whilst he should not be first choice, he is the kind of striker Ralph wants and will therefore I think always be a good option for him in the squad.

 

Hopefully we can find a younger, upgrade Long.

Half listened to the post match interviews on Solent and I thought I heard Shane say that he's been carrying an injury for 6 weeks and is only just getting back to fitness. Could explain a couple of uncharacteristic performances recently.

You mean, that's why he scored?

Interestingly, in his interview with Blackmore, he speaks about Valery and how good he is despite having to learn and that he will be a big player for Saints for the rest of the season. Sounds like he is views Valery as his #1 in the position.

 

I do love how he is involving the younger players....it would have been easy for him to bring on Moi but he brought Slattery on instead. Reputations count for nothing with Ralph.

 

I really hope he stays here for some time - he is a breath of fresh air after some of our more recent managers.

Seen a nice video of him coming over to the away fans and taking his hat off to them after the game !

 

Great moment. Everyone was singing his name. He applauded us then took off his cap and bowed. There's a hell of a lot of love for Ralph at the moment, and rightly so.
