    Wouldn’t be surprised if he plays 45mins of pretty much a run out.

    Ralph barely played DCC and got no stick for it, especially as he’s a first teamer.

    A fuss out of nothing

    Maybe judge him on results, such as tomorrow, rather than B team selection? Just a thought.

    Happy to do that. 5 PL losses out of 6 isn’t great though.

    Results to date against PL opposition have been really bad, though?

    Yeah and that criticism is fair. It just seems odd for people to be fuming over DCC playing 45 mins for the B team.

    Well it's just that it's another in a catalogue of peculiar decisions. They're stacking up.

    Yeah. His bizarre tactics and team selection, and the results on the pitch, are intrinsically linked. Lyanco has been utterly woeful: multiple goals fall squarely on his shoulders. He is the first name on the team sheet, having played in every match in every competition since Jones arrived, while DCC is in the reserves.

    A quick quiz.

    Our wins under Jones -

    Blackpool, Man City, Everton, Palace.

    What is the common thing in all of those games?

    Boom.

    But systems don't win games, right?

    In fairness I'd forgotten Lincoln (with good reason). But that's the only game we've won using a five, and that was a painful win too.

    This is why we're "bed wetting" - the man talks nonsense. He's far more delusional than bad-era Ralph, and not fit to lace the shoes of good-era Ralph.

    It also rather undermines his 'the numbers say I'm a very special boy' thing. He's rather clearly making things up as he goes, which he would be far less likely to do if he had any actual familiarity with the numbers, because numbers are incredibly easy for people to fact-check. He just said it because he hoped it was true, and lo...it wasn't.

    And we only won that AFTER going to a back 4.

    Guess we all see things differently but I don't think Lyanco has been woeful at all.
