Joe ralls

Has his critics, has his weaknesses like all players at this level but today never stopped running. Put in a proper shift and covered so much ground, almost goes unoticed as a lot of the work he does is the ugly things. But disrupted Leeds and didn't let them settle. Pleased for him today. All I ever ask is play for the shirt, he's doing just that. :thumbup:

I don't think his days are numbered, I think he has a part to play but a smaller part at that. :thumbup:

Now Joe has stopped auditioning to be the cultured Whitts replacement and gone back to being a solid all rounder (box to box) he is starting to improve again.


On Whitts - We are playing underdog football, great in a relegation fight against better teams, but if we are to be a top team we have to beat them with skill as well as guts and strength. I think we'll be a better away team for the remainder of the season. We'll need a playmaker and he is our only genuine one, and he can be a back up/rotation to whoever Warnock gets in the summer, if he wants.

Ralls played a very intelligent and effective game today. I was very impressed with the midfield for a change.

I never fault rallls work rate or attitude but I think on many occasions he's been very average, miss placed passes and no cutting edge. Today he looked the opposite of that.

A number of us thought Ralls was a future replacement for Whitts. Whitts type come along once in blue moon. Ralls will never be a Whitts but more the opposite. He should concentrate on being that.

Spot on with this, and he set us up to frustrate Leeds and hit them on the break. Witts will be used at home. :thumbup:

Halford playing DM maybe is the way to go makes Gunnar and Ralls more effective going forward I haven't seen them go forward as much as they did yesterday for a good while. :ayatollah:
