AlexLaw76 Posted 18 September, 2021 Share Posted 18 September, 2021 Ralph is clearly a poor manager for us. I feel for him with the finacial situation, but this in now his team and his selections. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjurwi Posted 18 September, 2021 Share Posted 18 September, 2021 Don't mind Bednarek. Would like to se him playing with Salisu though. Better at defending than Stephens Fine with Redmond and Ely. I would have played Djenepo for Redmond. Like Armstrong -Adams up top. Swap with Broja-Tella in the second half. Think we'll lose but only with 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted 18 September, 2021 Share Posted 18 September, 2021 My first thought seeing that team was keeping Bednerak and KWP happy in a game he knows we can’t win. Fully expect them both to be dropped after we get our arses handed to us today - harsh if so 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did sort of prepare us for these type of random changes with his comments about players not being able to expect to play the next game just because they performed well in the last game. I guess he was talking about Salisu and Peraud and, to a certain extent, Broja. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak minded, he doesn’t need to do stuff like this to tell a player he’s dropped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 18 September, 2021 Share Posted 18 September, 2021 This really stinks. The players must be like “wtf? what do I do to be a starter here?”.

Jeremy Corbyn Posted 18 September, 2021 Share Posted 18 September, 2021 If it is a "keeping the squad happy" thing, cant imagine Bednarek being thrilled that his chance is being dropped in at the deep end against City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millbrook Saint Posted 18 September, 2021 Share Posted 18 September, 2021 I personally think Ralph is thinking about how to stop the opposition, so is using more experienced players, personally I prefer a settled team of your best players, but there's quite a few youngsters in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydney_saint Posted 18 September, 2021 Share Posted 18 September, 2021 God damn, how do you pick apart this mess. Best CB this season -dropped. Djenepo has been decent defensively this season. So the best thing to do against one of the best attacking sides is to drop him right? Redmond dreadful as usual, so it is essential he keeps his place. Elyounoussi who we have shifted on loan last couple of seasons cos he's too slow is the perfect attacking player against one of the fastest backlines.

Does Salisu have a small injury? Are players being saved for the cup midweek? Are there tactical reasons why certain players are picked over others? Without knowing all the facts and reasons behind the selection everyone is just speculating. I get that's what a forum is for but comments like "Ralph is clearly a poor manager" just come from such an ill informed place that they aren't worth making in the first place. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come off it. Redmond being picked again is lunacy, as is dropping our best, most consistent defender, especially after a clean sheet.
