Should have shipped him out for better when we got promoted.. a key part of our non- existent midfield.

Wow!!! What a comment.
Joe ralls is our best midfielder and has been surrounded by poor midfielders throughout alot of his career especially of late.
He has been a great servant and we really lack without him.
Surely you are on a wind up with that comment

Perhaps past his best, and a new club for him may ignite his form. I do hope however he stays and refinds his form.

He's not been bad this year, poor, maybe, but he is still the best midfielder we have.

It is.. and partly why this club doesn’t progress long term.. Ralls is an average 2nd Div player.

Players need to be gone toward the end of their peak to move forward, but we’ve never had a progressive non-mad owner.

Incredible comment...10 years he has been with us always gives his all and that's all you can say....supporters like you I don't know why you bother going.

Joe ralls I hope you stay albeit on lesser wages if not will always get an applause from me if we come up against him

I like Joe Ralls

It is NOT his fault he perhaps hasn't developed as much as he should have.

We have had successive managers who bypassed the midfield and also we have recruited many midfielders who are similar to Joe.

He is our best midfielder.

Longevity and loyalty rare in football. Ralls is the best we have currently though I think that says more about our weaknesses than about Ralls ability. He doesn't really compare to the best of our midfielders in the sunny last twenty years. Would he get in the Dave Jones? McPhail, Whitts, Rambo, Ledley? May squeeze in for Gavin Rae. Though it has to be said he would no doubt be a better player surrounded by the names above than those we have now

We have to keep some consistency as we move on next season. Ralls is top of the list of players we must keep.

Great servant.

Easy to be loyal when nobody else wants you !!

Never really rated him, he’s not mobile, can’t head the ball, low assist rate and even lower goal rate.

He is a very basic Championship player and he certainly got found out in the Premiership.

Yet he still gets a free pass from many City fans unlike others.

Sorry but he doesn’t influence games enough and he’s certainly not worth the £20k+ a week that he currently earns.

Wait till next season when it's full of freebies and youth then the same cry baby's who always wanted a cull of the big earners constantly saying there shit or not good enough will be wishing for some of that drift wood back on social media :lol:

The club will strip anything they can to make a buck that's the bottom line we know this is going on but as fans we can only go with what's on the pitch I certainly won't be bitching about it even if I think there not good enough we will have what we got eitherway :bluescarf:

Normally I would agree with the type of points you make about quality but what exactly does Ralls bring to the party that is so irreplaceable?

Yes, a yesteryear statistic but let’s be honest here; if he was anything other than a reliable solid player he’d have been subject to transfer talk a long time ago. Fact is he’s a decent journeyman. His lack of pace and a right boot has held him back.

Just another footballer stealing a living in my opinion all he is we got a squad of them currently but there's worse players out there. I'd rather 11 players on £500 a week who will give there all running through brick walls and coming off the field knowing they have done all they can unlike some of the shite we got but as fans what can we do. We don't have a say really as we are not paying them the unjustifiable wages.

If we had 11 players on only £500 pq we would be in the conference south You need more than running g through brick walls you need talent as well My boys was offered more 6 years ago for a part time contract in the conference

Not really. The fact Ralls made no impression whatsoever in the PL makes the comment perfectly sensible.

Same agree with you. Loyalty is clearly nothing to some fans. He is only one I would offer a contract at end of season

Looks like the Jacks have infiltrated the site again. Not sure how anyone could think that , fair enough everyone has an opinion - but that is off the radar in terms of anything close to reality

Some fans are unable to separate emotion and reality.. been going since 76, and I’m a Jack.. yeah

As piledriver says, he’s only been here that long because no other club was interested.
