The only games we have won were against very weak Leeds and Villa teams plus Watford who are crap. Where are the next wins coming from? Ralph is a busted flush and his play book doesn't work.

That’s fair as well. We’ve played some terrible teams and not yet had a convincing win.

If we don’t win against Brentford/Palace then I’ll believe we’re in serious trouble.

[OttawaSaint]

Ooohhh a shot. Bugger me!

Arsenal are a pretty decent team in reasonable form, but this display might be a sackable display. 

Are they? They lost to a very poor and out of form Everton last weekend.

We're making them look so much better than they actually are.

[Saint Billy]

How bad are we?, struggling to watch this.

we already in trouble. Can't score with our strikers, without them?

If we can't get Adams, Armstrong or Broja fit for those two games then it's hard to see where a goal is going to come from.

What's up with Stuart Armstrong? We've really missed him this season too.

[OttawaSaint]

Players don't look bothered at all. Must be nice.

[Saint NL]

Did you hear that?

JWP was taking the corner and someone in the crowd shouted "You're just a shit Mason Mount" 

[Saints foreva]

You'd forget Elyounoussi is even on the pitch. Jesus christ, what a dogshit signing he's been.

Good question. Something is very wrong there. 

[Chez]

absolute horseshit from Dialo there.  He has been fucking terrible today.

It happens so often. Other managers react to changes, ours doesn't, or can't.

I suspect it’s because he is a shit manager

Been pretty meh since he signed for us in reality. 

[OttawaSaint]

This makes that JWP inspired 99 min capitulation all the worse.

Well, looks like it’s another relegation scrap this season, it was all looking promising a few weeks ago. Ralph is crap, our players are crap and until we get decent owners, we will continue to be crap. What a load of crap. 

[Teddeer]

A few weeks ago the defence was doing its job. Now we have the 3rd worst goal difference in the league!

He survived after two 9 nil defeats, he'll probably get an extension for keeping the score 'respectable'....!

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Got to forget the games against the top 10. Our season will be defined by games against the teams around us. We need results against them.

I've bigged him massively. I think I might need to rethink. Utter shite today.

Yeah this is the big worry for me.

He links everything together and has proved to be our most important player over the past 18 months.

I hope there’s nothing more to it, but we need him back ASAP.

Nobody at the club with their hand on the wheel. Who would even sack him anyway?

We've made it far too easy and made them look far better than they are.

[adrian lord]

There aren't many moments of euphoria supporting Saints these days. 

[Mr X]

No fight now just resigned that we've already lost... and we have, Ralph has been well and truly found out... can't believe there were even comparisons  to klopp when he first came, his name shouldn't be in the same sentence

Top 10? Jesus. If don't fancy your chances against a tenth pace side you are fucked.

like at Norwich? 

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck I'm bored.

Yeah, him and Semmens are too friendly to one another - very unhealthy relationship so Ralph aint getting fired and he knows it.

[OttawaSaint]

Ah well I guess they spared us the agony of going ahead and then losing to a last gasp comedy goal.

We aren't even remotely close to being a top 10 team. And yes, I do think we are fucked

thats my point, we'd been woeful, spineless and I've not seen enough effort from one or two and if that is noticed at board level the manager gets fired. 

 

[OttawaSaint]

Leeds showing guts. 2-2 at the bridge.

[BotleySaint]

They bring on Pepe, their £72m signing... It's out of our league.

[Baird of the land]

Is ralph saving his final sub for extra time.

Yeah, like Norwich. Ironic thing with that game is that without McCarthy we would have won that one

🤣 they didn't notice it after two 9-0s so why are they suddenly  going to notice it now?

And yet Leeds are getting stuck in vs Chelsea...

[northam soul]

Well I think it’s time someone else was given the task of trying to get a tune out of this shower.

It can’t go on any longer, we are not getting any better and certainly don’t learn from our mistakes.

Looking at the bench, who is there to throw on anyway? Nothing will change the game now.

Ralph selected him. And kept him in the team after the Norwich game 

[RedWillie]

Time for a change. Surely. We're out of ideas

[LGTL]

This is an extremely unlikeable group of players. We were doomed the minute we sold Ings. 

[Saint Billy]

This is what you get when you have a manager safe in his job. 

[gammon cheeks]

Lose to Brentford next week and Raplh will have to go!

[Teddeer]

Time to rip up the play book Ralph because it is a work of fiction.
