Cambridge United Away Carabao Cup 2nd Round Won 0 – 3
Ralph made all the right noises about the Carabao Cup tie at Cambridge but still made nine changes to his starting line-up. Crucially our hosts followed suit with seven changes of their own, and, with all due respect, they don’t have the depth of squad to do that and so found themselves on the wrong […]

Leicester Away Won 1 – 2
Good teams tend to have settled line-ups so no surprise that Saints made three changes for the visit to Leicester! It meant a first start for Mara up front, partnering Adam Armstrong as two wide strikers while Bednarek was sacrificed in a move to a back four, meaning extra pressure on Djnepo’s defensive skills. And […]

Leeds Home Drew 2 – 2
A settled team has never been a feature of Ralph’s management so no surprise after a poor team performance at Spurs that 40% of his starting outfielders failed to make the second game: to face Leeds, in came Bella-Kotchap (on debut), Elyounoussi, Stuart Armstrong and Adams, and out went Valery, Romeu, Adam Armstrong and Aribo […]

Spurs Away Lost 4 -1
Summer transfer dealings left us with our erstwhile best goalkeeper sitting on the Tottenham bench for the opening match, while I suspect our current best keeper was sitting on ours as Bazuna joined other debutants Lavia and Aribo. Ralph confused fans by opting for an unbalanced back five with Walker-Peters as an orthodox full back […]
End of Season Review
So another season ends, and it’s the end of the road too for (so far) three of our coaching staff. Clearly something was going wrong at the bookends of the season, and Herr Hasenhüttl does seem to be an exception in not having a respected second-in-command (you wouldn’t recognise Craig Fleming if you met him […]
Leicester Away Lost 4 – 1
Ralph seemed to have stuck to a similar starting formation for his side at Leicester in the last game, although with different names: Romeu and Stuart Armstrong in, and with Broja set to return to Chelsea, it made sense for a change to the sole striker – Adam Armstrong getting the gig ahead of Adams. In fact […]
