People comparing pellagrino and Ralph- mind boggling. Tell me when pellagrino had us top of the league or playing decent football (at any point).

Before my time, but Chris Nicholl might be a better comparison... went top of the league with him and had some horrendously dry spells also. We decided we could do better, and indeed I hear his replacement was an excellent appointment who was in many ways much better than our current manager.

Are you genuinely comparing what RH has achieved with MP???

What has Ralph achieved? As far as I can see, they both achieved fuck all.

And a few months ago we were top.

 

Quite a fall I would have thought and a serious warning for next season

Fuck me, we were top because we played before everyone else that weekend. We were top for a few hours. #stopthecount. Stop going on about it, noddy club behaviour

Hasenhuttl got us playing extremely well for an entire year. Pellegrino struggled to do that for one game let alone a year!

Sure we've been shit since January, but don't overlook Hasenhuttl has shown he can get us performing over a sustained period even if we aren't now.

Is that an achievement then? The last time I looked, the trophy cabinet was still bare. You don’t get a trophy for being top for 1 game.

That is not remotely relevant to my post which was a reply to comparing the two managers.

I suppose he wants another chance to see if Minamino is worth making a permanent transfer.

Really not a fan of Armstrong in the holding midfield role though, complete waste of his talents.

We lost the first two fixtures. I'm really proud of the fact we managed to top the Premier League table for the first ever time this season. It is a big deal. 

We've also been on the shittest EVER run this season, we don't need to ignore both stats.

As it was for Koeman and Pochettino. I suppose they were shit as well?

Glad Danny is back :) I wanted Salisu to start. Why is Jankewitz not on the bench? 

Being rested

Should be starting Tella instead of Minamino and Salisu in place of one of the CB's.  Mad not to.

 

 

Tella maybe knackered

Jankewitz has reached Caceres levels of SaintsWeb delusion. 

For God's sake people stop expecting him to be picked and then being disappointed that he isn't.

He's never going to play. Get over it.

Genuinely the only way he's ever going to get a game is if the entire remaining first team is wiped out by a freak weather incident, and he's the only survivor. Like in King Ralph.

He's a football manager not a miracle worker. You seen our playing staff and budget? You can only polish a turd for so long...

Glad to see Ings and Adams playing together again, Adams does his best stuff when he's setting Ings up.

Nah Adams is shit. For the £15m we paid for him, we could have got Cavani for nothing. Noddy club 😉

Could be but hasn't played loads.

Salisu certainly shouldn't be.  Time to freshen up our shit defence, he looked great vs Leicester

I don't mind that lineup, would have had Salisu in there though.

He just, for whatever reason, seems reluctant to play him, which is odd because when he has played, he's looked pretty good.

I’m not saying he isn’t. Just that he has hardly achieved anything.

All this whinging..... we were an absolute joy to watch for quite a while. In a season squashed together like this has been, regularly playing 3 games a week, it’s no wonder the team with the deepest squad finished top. We’ve been hampered by poor recruitment over the last 4 years, something a club of our size can’t afford to do. With a bit of luck we can see light at the end of that tunnel now and get those players off the books. Ralph’s no pep, but if he was, he wouldn’t be here long. Hopefully he’ll get backed in the summer

Very unadventurous line-up. Jankewitz not even in the squad!

Guess he must be done here. Surely a game he could've got minutes in.

What is this forums obsession with Jankewitz!? Why do you think he's done anything to warrant usurping an established player? Fucking maddening.

I think so, didn’t do himself any favours with the transfer request and the Jackie Chan episode. There is no half way with Ralph when it comes to being on the bus or not
