Not sure who’s the worst of our 2 keepers. Pathetic attempt to save the free kick and in no man’s land for the 3rd.
Allsopp is ****. Agree about Etheridge. Lets please not have any more idiotic posts celebrating Ralls being subbed from certain posters.
I posted he would throw on the bench in the last 15 minutes when we are losing. He did that in the last game. Desperate Dan. 2 wins in 8 games, would have been 1 win if Ugbo had not cone on late to score the winner. If you do not play players who can score you end up getting beat to nil like the last two games. Still I am sure people on here think doing other stuff is what really matters, what the hell is more important than scoring goals? Ask hull. You are getting what you asked for, the players I want on the pitch are being left on the bench.
What you give him as I know what I would give him, the writing was on the wall when he ruined a 2-0 lead against Ipswich. Hoping Sky gives the news tonight he is gone.
Ralls would not have made any difference today. He’s only worth a place in the team for his corners. Otherwise he’s slow, takes too many touches and more often than not misplaced his passes. The suggestion he’s an asset and a loyal servant is irrelevant. If he had been any good he’d have been subject to transfer approaches but not a sniff at any time.
Looking for grains of comfort here after yet another diabolical performance. Perry Ng appears OK healthwise. Bulut had the sense to take off Ugbo at half time, but gets no credit for starting him in the first place. Sunderland lost a game they should have won easily whilst Preston and Blackburn both got hammered. The jacks lost at home and are in serious deep ****. We've somehow already got 30 points on the board - only another 20 for safety. Suggestions............. if we had another decent RB or just trust Romeo there, play Ng in midfield - he'd do as well or better going forward than the rest. Give Tanner and Etete a start together. Bowler blows hot an cold and Ugbo is quite pathetic leading the line.
I can’t see any positive to take out of the dismal display today. We next go to SW who are doing better now and of course were in reality our equals in the home game & unlucky to lose; I can’t see anything but another limp defeat. All we hear is bring on January but let’s face it it’ll take more than a couple of signings to improve the current squad, and I read today Ramsey’s return is pushed back. Yes we are in the ‘we need 7 wins to stay up’ situation.
Utter rubbish. Completely clueless!! And youve no idea if hes been subjected to approaches. Hes been a consistent top end Championship players for a decade , our key midfielder in our promotion and we are always better with him in the side. You are entitled to your opinion of one of the best players weve had over the last decade of course but how does Jck get so much stick when rubbish like Joe Ralls can only take corners be posted. Hopefully Nin gets the same criticism as Jck.
Got to agree with Hilts. The side such as it is is far better with Ralls in there. That may not be saying that much when you looked at what's been on offer the past couple of games but he's been badly missed. I also don't agree with Nin regarding his usefulness being confined to taking corners. The guy injects far more urgency into the side than the other options.
Let's face it guys, we pretty much all thought that if we achieved mid-table this season we'd be pretty content. We've had a small glimpse of what the future could hold under Bulut if we can improve the squad (and squad depth) but clearly we're not at that level yet, at least not enough for a sustained push at the higher end of the table. We've spent the majority of the season with our 2 most skillful and influential players out injured too. If we finish top 10 we'll have done ok but staying clear of relegation after the last 2 years will be comforting in its own way. Not overly ambitious I know, but until we can improve the squad it looks like we'll continue to be very up and down unfortunately.
Happy to take your criticism but I deem it to be misconstrued. Don’t get me wrong he’s a decent footballer but an average one and unfortunately for him unless he’s got a Stephen Mcphail, Harry Wilson or Lee Tomlin type alongside him to pass to, his lack of creativity is telling. He’s also lost his knack of popping up with a goal. I will be equally happy to be proven wrong of course unlike the other poster you cited.
Youve been proven wrong. Ralls was a key figure in promotion. Mcphail with better players around him didnt. I doubt Charlie Adam would have had the freedom of Wembley with Ralls on him.
I attempted to dialogue in a sensible and constructive manner but you for some reason have not. Where did Ralls fit in to the Grujic, Gunnarsson & Bryson combo who were so pivotal to promotion? In short if Bulut somehow can land a creative midfielder then Ralls will be better for it; without one he is as ineffective as the other CM’s on the books.
Where did he fit in. FFS.!!!!!! Ok sensible and constructive. That combo that season. Ralls 37 apps 7 goals 4 assists Bryson 22 apps 2 goals 1 assist Gunner 20 apps 1 goal 1 assist Grujic 14 apps 1 goal. Your wrong thats it - Ralls was our key CM that season by an absolute mile. Ralls for some reason is looked down on by a small fraction of our fans and its honestly pathetic. Those 7 goals are also over double Mcphails in his entire career with us
