Managerial Perspective

[TheSecondStain]

Yeh fair enough, I guess my trust for people in football isn't very high but he does seems like one of the good ones. It was a 3 year deal right?

Yep. So the existing deal ends at the end of next season. Hopefully, he likes it here that much that he'll extend it. He has said he loves it here. Bet that love is being tested at present.

....Saints fans panicking and wanting managers sacked. Weird.

Bill Dodgin had a dodgy period back in '48....

Good read on Ralphs frustration on WBA match, and being in pain with a hip injury.

I think this is even more insightful
It mirrors some of my thoughts but adds some insight on the teams lack of vocal
Leaders on the pitch from someone who’s there

Another interesting read
“Lack of in-game adaption” May be partly down to Ralph but I think it’s more down to inability of the players to find solutions to problems on the pitch and a lack of quality options to replace under-performers

A random memory came to me reading this. When I first started supporting Saints I remember watching in awe as Terry Paine ran half the pitch to congratulate a debut youngster who got to the by line and delivered a decent cross. It got me thinking that although you need a young team these days, players like Walcott and Ings who have been there and done it are equally important to motivate the rest.
