Joe Ralls

I feel like he slows us down far too much in midfield.

He’s been a great player for us but I don’t think he is a starting player anymore.

Agreed. Shouldnt be starting 11 anymore, sadly.

Cringed when I saw he was starting.

Must have played 98% passes backwards or sideways. His corners were also shite

Should never have been given a two year contract.

I agree he shouldn’t be starting but maybe riza had no choice but I think a lot of comments very harsh on ralls , he’s a solid player

Agree.

Been a great player over the years but his race is run at this level.

Well passed it I’m sad to say

I don't think he did much wrong considering he's just back from injury, should have been on the bench though rather than starting.

There was one break and I genuinely felt sorry for him as he was chasing back but his legs just weren’t working. It was like he was running in treacle.

I can't recall him squandering multiple chances

We didn't lose because of Ralls or Robertson, we lost because we are playing Colwell as a second striker who can't run and Robinson who can't score and is as tough as the lion in the wizard of Oz, Tanner who lets the basic slip pass him as he can only run cut in and shoot.We only had O'Dowda doing anything

it 424, fcuking fantasy stuff with our squad. We need another midfielder in there

Problem is though if you're looking for someone to come on and inspire a comeback or a win do you honestly think that the current version of Joe Ralls is going to do that?

I love the guy but he was really poor tonight.

There is not much left in his locker by the looks other than a hefty hard challenge that tends to be mistimed.

We are crying out for a captain...someone to lead by example and keep the boys working and giving 100%.

I guess that's Meite's job.

Agree - maybe we should have started with Turnbull .

he had lots possession and yes went sideways backwards but would help if had a forward running wide? But looking at last night it was very reminiscent of bulut team scared to push behond last defender..... is this a product of purses influence as a defender?
