Joe Ralls - Best game of his career?

So impressed with Ralls today. He looked head and shoulders above the rest today, good range of passing, great box to box harrying and a really well taken goal.

I haven’t seen him command a game like that before, really stepped up in the absence of Laing and Zohore in my opinion.

Whilst I wouldn't say best of his career, he was excellent.

His performance away to Wolves earlier this season was the best I've seen from any Cardiff player in a good few years.

We take him for granted I think.

A lot on here would be happy with him out of the side.

Whilst Whitts was the main man and the philosophy was built around his ability to pass, the other players had to be able to receive the ball in any position, this put pressure on Ralls but even more so Gunnar

With Warnocks philosophy more about physical ability and imposing your physicality on the opposition Joes engine and all round ability to score to least 6/10 in passing, receiving and tackling in every game brings him to the fore.

I have always thought he was going to be a fantastic player for us, i am glad he is showing it.

I always thought Ralls and Whittingham couldn't play together and when they did he was subdued. Been excellent this season.
