    So what you’re saying is we either lose or spend time in losing positions?

    Interesting notes regarding England’s current poor form. The “across the board” defence is that prior form & achievements support. Hum …. much different on here?

    But don't let facts get in the way of opinion. Ralph is here for a season unless there is a major implosion during the winter months.

    We're so lucky to be behind Everton, Bournemouth, Leeds and Brentford.

    The man's clearly a tactical genius. Close the thread now!

    Yes, but we’ve recovered the same number of points from losing positions as Tottenham.

    Dangerous to make predictions in football. If Ralph loses, say, the next three games, the anger from fans will very likely force the board to act.

    Massive if we lose to EFC. Hopefully a win but can’t say I’m confident. Probably a dour 0-0 or 1-1 draw.

    Boards don't tend to make decisions based on fans thank goodness. Well, sensible one's don't.

    I know, look how long we had to put up with Branfoot for. Eventually the board saw sense.

    Totally different scenario. We rarely put any performance in with IB, except of course MLT! I still think there's enough in the squad with all of them to choose from to have a half decent season.
    Tom's point about Watford is pertinent. Be very careful what you wish for.

    Agree it was different, we had a stand out player in MLT. The similarities are protracted defeats, poor performances and a fan base fed up and wanting to change up.

    The fan base regarding Ralph are nowhere near as united in wanting change as they were with Branfoot. Nowhere near.

    There's no T shirts been printed yet either. Is it true that Saints fans sent the leftover Branfoot out T shirts to the fans of his next club?

    Times
    Times have changed tho. Massively more £ oriented & definitely less patient.

    Oh no, I know that. I think they’re still 73% in favour of keeping him :tongue:

    The problem is that there isn’t a reliable way of finding out that percentage. By your own admission, a new poll would have fewer people voting, and would therefore be even less representative.

    I’m just kidding, it’s becoming a joke now.
