We've no idea why that's happened. Maybe Che's been angling for a transfer? #twosidestoeverystory

It’s Not like Ralph to fall out with a striker…

Angling for a move or not, he’s miles better than AA, so should be starting regardless.

I switched off at 2-0 last week having been reliably been informed that Ralph has no Plan B, I did the same when we went 1-0 down today.

Fed up of this. We've lost 4-1, 2-0 and 1-0 so far in a set of games we should probably have taken 2 points off

The only evidence we have is that we're better with Adams on the pitch. 

But there's two ways of looking at it... Either Ralph should have started with Adams or it was a tactical masterstroke leaving him on the bench and bringing him on to prove a point. Quite often players play better when they come on versus when they start. We could always give the manager the benefit of the doubt...

Great result especially coming from behind. Glad Ralph saw sense with the formation and won't knock him for not starting with Che as he hadn't trained much. Whatever any of us say we got three good points and Che's value just went up - not that we should be considering selling him. The two big lads in the middle of defence seem to already be forming a partnership and it beats that 5 at the back shit where everyone thinks someone else is going to cut out the danger and nobody does. 4 points from those first three games is very acceptable. Onwards and upwards - bring on United!

Very solid defending today with a back four. Deserved the clean sheet and would have got one if not for a well taken free-kick from Maddison. ABK looks like a beast. Djenepo had possibly his best overall game for us. If we can get our selections right from the start in future, we might be able to win some games comfortably this season.

Either way, Che must stay.

So we went up a few gears and showed what we can do!!

I'll give Ralph the benefit of the doubt and say well done for managing Che and Stuey's fitness well.

Great performances from almost everyone. ABK and Lavia look like they are going to be very good indeed. Djenepo barely put a foot wrong.

Most importantly Leicester Cunty didn't get anything from their relentless diving and niggly fouls. What a thoroughly hateable side they are.

I assume that we will be having a rest from the "Wreck-it Ralph" and "Adams isn't good enough" stuff for at least a few days..... 

Adams is definitely good enough and should have started. Same goes for against Tottenham. We've scored 5 goals this season and he's had involvement in 4.

Adams and Mara up top is clearly our best chance to win the most games this season.

How strange. Last season our mentality was suspect losing after going ahead. This season, it’s the opposite, with us being in the ascendency after going behind and getting points. My take on this is the additional coaching brain of Selles helping Ralph to make the right decisions and a much better CB pairing in ABK and Salisu. Fair play to Djenepo too - he really is doing a good job at LB so far.
