Given that we genuinely have absolutely **** all chance of winning it, I'd love Ralph to field the u21s. These players clearly don't give a ****, they know there's next to no competition for their places if they're fit. Dropping them might give them the kick up the arse Ralph seems unwilling/unable to provide.

We are not safe yet.

Again. Wish it was just a one-off bad day at the office, but it's practically every week for the past 4 months.

Sort of, but we’ve done the reasons to death. I think in a game like today, the trouble is that this team know that they’ll be the team that play in the semi, because who are you going to replace them with? Their heads haven’t been in the game, but barring playing the kids in the semi (and won’t that go down well), what is Ralph meant to do?

He’ll be fuming today, but there’s not much choice for him in terms of changing things up.

Jeeze. We almost agree on something!

I'd say statistically we have a 25% chance of winning it. :)

I'm not overly concerned by tonight. West Brom needed the points a lot more than us and it has shown. I've no doubt the players will be up for it on Sunday. I'm more concerned in making sure we come out of this unscathed. Phew Ingsy subbed.

I'm more concerned about next season now, if we cant make an extreme change it will be difficult.

7 points in 13 games isn't just a poor run of form, it's bordering normality now for these players.

It just goes to show how strong a first half a season we actually had, when we've put together this shocking run of form, and still look pretty safe.
 
What are the choices, realistically?

Salisu for Beddy/Vesty
Djenepo/Tella for Walcott (which I would be tempted by).
Adams for Redmond (I suspect that will happen, but with Redmond replacing Walcott).

That’s it really.

I think he got his team selection wrong to be fair. As I said earlier it's baffling that Minamino hasn't played.

And a decent chance we will be without a couple of our better players aswell after the summer.
