do we still look bothered?  Nothing to do with lack of effort. We just ain't any good.

Expand  

No denying that was a pathetic goal to give away. 

We can be good, just aren't at the moment.

[supersonic]

Bednarek useless (again), Walcott and Diallo non-existent.

 

Being outplayed by a Sam Allardyce team, and yet zero sign of Ralph having a plan B. He's been utter dog-shite for a good few months now.

Has Ralph been found out, or is this really his level of competence ?

Expand  

I don't know. It's genuinely hard to tell.

One thing I do know is our players on paper are not this bad.

[Disco Stu]

I wouldn't let any of them play the semi after this.

[IronCitySaint]

I cannot remember seeing a worse Saints team than the one that has been on display in 2021 and that includes the Branfoot years and all the struggles of the 90's. Even the relegated team put in more fight than these guys. They are just so utterly pathetic at everything related to playing football. 

[CB Fry]

When was the last time we came back from three nil down to win?

Don’t! SKD will be all over it

[Chez]

Slow centre backs surrounded by players that want to bomb forward all the time. It's a recipe for disaster.

[DG]

Heard the tannoy and got exicted for a sub, but it's WBA again.

Edit - finally!

[Dangerspoon]

We badly need a defensive coach. If we bring one in and still have problems then goodbye Ralph.

[whelk]

Is there any fan of any other club that would want Ralph in?

[saintwbu]

I couldn’t care less about this result, but I do care that Ralph doesn’t make a sub when we’re 3-0 down after 70 minutes with our most important game for about 3 years on Sunday. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

West Brom, absolutely no stars or big name players, but what they are is very well organised and each player knows what there job is. Contrast that with us. No heart, fight or aggression.

Everyone of those 11 should be embarrassed by that performance. Ralph should be embarrassed by this shit show

Expand  

All very well.  But how many times this season have we heard those same words.  This is all too regular now.

[Delmary]

It’s basic coaching that is letting us down. Defensively we are a mess.

[Baird of the land]

Finally the idiot has discovered his sub bench

[Saint_lambden]

75 minutes to make a sub when it should have been 3 at half-time. Utter dross that is destined for the drop next season. 

[Monk]

Just fucking put Jankewitz on the pitch you twat.

Yes. We’re not going down, we’ve just been frustratingly hot and cold

[badgerx16]

No flair, no passion, no movement, no intelligence, no idea.

[Monk]

Just fucking put Jankewitz on the pitch you twat. 

[qwertyell]

3-0 down and we make our first sub on 75mins. 

Best manager we could possibly get, though...

[S-Clarke]

Maybe all along, we actually are missing Eric Black?

Yeah, he really impressed last time.

[Dimplex]

This is utterly dreadful, even worse than anything Pellegrino served up. 

[BotleySaint]

Barring a hugely unlikely cup win - Ralph is done here.

[Manuel]

Never wanted Big Sam at our club but you have to hand it to him.

Yep if supporters were allowed I would definitely have my white hanky whirring vigorously

Doesn't want to be here. His body language sucks.

Get as much as we can for him, Vestergaard, possibly JWP, and then rebuild the spine of this team with players who have a spine.

Hot and cold? We have been practically dead for the past four months.

This is what’s annoying me. Have a young superstar, perfect romeu replacement and he’s been sat there for months.

I'm glad we have automisms.

I think you’ve nailed it

[obelisk]

Looks to me like Fat Sam knows how to get the best out of his players while Ralph has yet prove that. Perhaps he never will.

other than coach the first team, what does Ralf actually do? If we need a defensive coach then we may as well get rid.

Don Goodman is sucking the nitrogen, oxygen, carbon and fuxking argon out of the atmosphere with this stinking commentary performance. 

Utter gash!

Some kid who has been hyped up to oblivion by a few people on this forum is not going to make the slightest difference here.

WBA will be about 20 times better than some U21 team this nipper has played against.

Absolute f'ing disgrace. The team is gash.

Dear Ralph

You haven’t noticed that our centre backs are slow. 
you haven’t noticed that our team is with unfit or lazy, which is it please? 
No one joins in on the counter - no support ?
