The BBC certainly know how to ruin your evening: " Now they are top of the pile and the Austrian is being linked with the Manchester United manager's role currently occupied by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer".

I do and I don't agree with that.

While our home support isn't great, much the same as most PL clubs, we'll always respond to committed teams playing good football.

Frankly, if we were allowed back and people couldn't get behind this team and manager then they should **** off and support the skates.

I agree, the crowd has broadly been behind Ralph at SMS and I think back to the last time crowds were in against Newcastle, there was a siege mentality that day.

Also, Ralph is making the people who groan at every backward pass look like idiots. How many times did we pass backwards, drawing Newcastle out, then play through them tonight? Countless. Going backwards is not always a negative move.

I painted too simplistic a view. I think reactive at the moment wouldn't be a problem because we're **** hot!

I generally agree, but I just wish Djenjenpo (sp) would have the confidence to run at them a little bit more
