Hard pass. We also need to stop thinking we're suddenly terrible after one poor game against Wolves (that really could have gone either way). We'll probably lose this afternoon too. As has been said, the key thing is the run of games following this afternoon's match. If we're in the doo-doo after that, then it's time to start talking.
Yep, I think that Ralph has made progress on the defensive side particularly but the glaring thing against Wolves was the lack of a final ball in good positions from our creative #10s in particular. Get this resolved and I think that the goals will come and the results and points will follow.
I’m not looking forward to the meltdown on here when we inevitably lose to the European Champions and one of the favourites to win the league.
Prowse seems to have found his way into the England squad, not seen any kind of announcement but he is at St George’s Park in the England Team FB.
I actually would be pleased if JWP played for England - it would lessen the gap in which he wouldn't play a competitive match.
On the other hand, the 3-4 week break (or whatever it would have been) would have done him the world of good, with his ongoing stomach and knee problems.
He'll have a break anyway. And he may not even play for England. But it can only be a good thing he's in the squad. It may even suit Ralph not to have him in training as he'll be without him for a few games anyway.
Good to see Will Smallbone get 45 minutes against Charlton. Coming back to fitness at a good time and could feature on the bench, with Diallo replacing JWP in the coming weeks.
Can someone eligible for tickets tell me how many are left (roughly) for Chelsea in the cup? Annoying that they've stopped you seeing the seating plan not logged in.
