Putting my teddies back in the pram, yes the result could have been worse.

What is annoying though is no clean sheet in 16 games.

Not a single shot on target today

Absolutely nothing to suggest that the board is going to get rid.
 
The thing is on this forum is that there are normal (to me) responses to stuff and then the downright manic depressives that spend their whole life worrying about stuff they cannot control and being angry all the time.

I really is funny reading the responses all the time - I keep saying it and cannot believe that some on here actually cope with anything in life without getting angry or depressed.

Yep we lost 4-0

Yep Ralph may be **** some(all) time.

Yep it is a forum to debate.

FFS though the ranting and losing the plot on here and the crusades to get a Ralph out are a joke

IMO naturally.
 
Bit of both. The full backs didn’t struggle like this last season. Stu’s lack of defensive ability wasn’t such an issue when Romeu was playing.

Today we looked like we were playing 4-2-4 at times. No wonder we were opened up at ease.
For the first half of last season we were still pressing, before giving up on it.
The press has helped to make several players look better than they are/were, simply because we would always have several players close to each other covering up each other’s errors.
Since we stopped pressing Stuart has become a defensive liability and I don’t think Aribo does enough back tracking either (I pointed that out during the Everton game).
Losing Romeu is proving to be a big loss, aggravated by Lavia being injured, but even with him (Romeu) we were losing for fun in the second half of the season and looking like a relegation team, which tells me that him not leaving probably wouldn’t have made that much difference.
 
Even this statement isn’t correct. From my reading people were not expecting this. They were expecting a far heavier defeat. Lots of talk of 9. Sure maybe it was sarcasm (isn’t possible to tell from text alone). But I’m not convinced it was
Alright mate. I meant generally a loss, though I personally had a feeling we wouldn’t get thrashed to the 7, 8 nil level for whatever reason.
 
I reckon he has West Ham and thats it. We lose that and he will be gone
If it is the Board's plan to replace, ahead of WC then, I fancy post Cherries game. Reasoning is that, that is a match we would have expected to win at the start of the season. WHU, are at a stage or two up on on us, so compare like for like. But then stranger things happen in football!!

So ultimately it all comes down to our manager not being good enough.
