What is Diallo like, I’m not a fan, I was wondering if today is his last chance before being loaned or flogged.

Nowhere near as good as Romeu.

I’ve had enough,  and for the first time I’m calling for Ralph to be sacked at the end of the season. Abundantly clear now that he can’t take the club any further than this. 

Why wait, why not at the end of the half.

Diallo doesn't have the positional discipline to play the Romeu role, he likes going forward too much and then losing the ball in bad positions, leaving the midfield completely open.

Bednarek gets taken out and then we are fucked. 

We are wide open. They have had maybe 5 breaks now where they have had a man extra - got away it, yet still 2-0 down. Jesus.

Watch Bednarek for that second goal. Absolutely fucking useless. Again.

In fairness doesn't Salisu knock over erikssen who falls into Bednareks legs? What's he supposed to do?

This is what happens when your manager knows his job is safe! He's free to tinker and do what the fook he likes with no consequences! What happened to the recent we are not on the beach comments!!!

He also has told the club he's retiring. No doubt the players are affected by this. When Strachan said he was leaving they downed tools. I know its not for a year but

Co-comm damning in saying can’t believe we haven’t been looking at Brentford’s set pieces this week. I fucking can!

yep. bit unlucky. 

However, it could easily be 3-0. Getting murdered at set pieces, on the break...every where.

He was jogging back from being out of position and then just fell over.

A fucking abysmal defender who wouldn't get anywhere near any other PL team.

Honestly should be 3 or 4 right now.

Sadly for the first time I am now in the Ralph out camp at end of the season. 

I think he has taken us as far as he can, and appreciate the relatively stable campaigns he has given us albeit in a streaky manner, but this latest run is just one too many. 

I have nothing against him, I don’t think the players are responding to his methods anymore and unfortunately in this day and age it means the manager gets the cull. 
 

I wanted it to work out so badly, so to be honest it pains me to say the above.

There are some decent free agent options out there, though I would like to think the board have replacements lined up.

You can say that about half of our squad TBF.

Pretty much our standard performance lately. No idea how to defend. Not enough effort shown. Can't just be down to the manager but when things are broken Ralph often has no idea how to fix them, as evidenced the poor runs without a win etc. And this run of form.

Ralph is a bang average manager working with below average players. If we go down, who is going to be raided? KWP, JWP and that's literally it.

Enough is enough. Tactically utter shite. There are just too many very poor players out there, but to be two down at 20 minutes against Brentford is a terribly indictment of the awful management we’re witnessing. This has to be the worst run of performances in the history of the club and frankly, we deserve to be relegated.

So depressing. We'll huff and puff, go through the motions and then claim we were unlucky, what could we do. 

Sleepy team, sleepwalking the end of the season yet again.

If we had any ambition he won't get the opportunity to resign.... Not that he would anyway

Diallo can't play Romeu's role protecting our defense.  Thomas Frank is currently exploiting Ralph's setup. It's clear they're playing so directly because of our high line.

The fact that we're extremely unlikely to go down implies that we don't deserve relegation at all.

 

If this is the worst run you've witnessed I envy you.
