    Who is Dean Jones? Probably using Sportato as his source

    Jaissle seems like a very 'current strategy' move for us. I'm very happy to see Ralph holding fort if it means we are working on that.

    Likewise. Though there's been quite a few murmurings on Tedesco, who I'm less keen on.

    Former bleacher report writer, current Ranks FC podcast host & Eurosport transfer journalist.

    I know him in real life, his connections are normally pretty reliable. Has a lot of contacts.

    Hope this one is true

    I wonder if the polling is going to be much different after today's result?

    We will go down if he stays. I’m confident of it. Doesn’t have a scooby any more.

    will we go down if he leaves? Who knows. But worth a try.

    a point against WHU Is normally a good result. But even with all their injuries they still should have buried us out of sight today.

    Todays point probably keeps Ralph in the job until Bournemouth. Anything less than a win Wednesday and he is gone.

    Who was out for West Ham? They've got a CB out long term but that looked a pretty strong West Ham team to me.

    Thilo Kehrer is a CB. He played there for PSG and over 20 times for Germany.

    Kehrer can play both RB and CB but mainly a CB.

    Let's see what the end of seasons positions are and who's in charge. There's been many who've had us down that have been proved wrong.

    Even in a game where I thought we were the better side for an hour, things have got worse for Ralph imo.

    Seeing Lyanco stripped off with half an hour still to play was mystifying. Reminded me of when Pellegrino did something similar with Yoshida. The only saving grace about the Rice goal (but I still wish it hadn't happened) was that it sent Lyanco back to bench. However, having avoiding shooting himself in the foot with that substitution, Ralph continued in his effort to write his own P45 by instead subbing off Che. He might as well have gone with Lyanco after all, given our total lack of focal point (and hence attacking threat) thereafter.

    Yeah, I can only imagine he had half an eye on Wednesday’s game, and Che was tiring.
