I don't think there are many that don't rate Ralls, just an occasional vocal minority when looking for scapegoats. And it's a nonsense anyways, as we always play better when he's involved. I remember he was dropped a little while back and we were worse, we are always much better when he plays as he does a lot of the things others don't want or can't do. We love ya Rallsy.

A succession of City managers over the past 10 years or so can't be all wrong can they?

During that time we've played championship and premier league football. If Ralls was not up to it, he'd have been out on his ear but he's consistently been involved over that long period.

Lots of people on here and in stadium always looking for a scapegoat and rallsy seems to fit the bill. But hopefully the 99% of us who appreciate what he does and his loyalty will keep singing his praises and help the team. Rather than jump on the scapegoat bandwagon

its just a few, it was the same with Whitts, its a bit crazy really. The lad, like Whitts has never played lower than the championship, but is "not good enough" :?

Under a proper manager who knows what he is trying to do unlike the clueless guesser Morison and unprepared Hudson, he will flourish again.

He is an "8" not a "6" (Wintle) albeit an aging one with miles on the clock and CCFC injuries, but he is a decent player and we need him this season.

Same people who give Ralls stick sing the praises for Wintle who was absolutely non-existent beyond Morison last season. A bit bizarre really but no player deserves stick if they give 100%.

Somewhat similar with Ojo really. A bit frustrating last season but when his play relies on other players making space, making themselves options, no wonder he didn’t really do anything in our side last year. Hopefully he can show what he’s made of this season, as long as his confidence hasn’t been completely shot to bits because of the disgraceful scapegoating he’s received last season.
