I'm not to proud to say that he is very much proving me wrong at the moment. Brilliant again tonight.
Yes fair play, he was excellent
Not too many as experienced as him in the championship and even more a select group if you look at his age bracket.
Ralls looks much sharper this season
Over the 3 games, our best player by far.
Looks fitter , leaner and eager
Man of the match for me..
Ralls was absolutely superb last night, I can recall him playing better in a City shirt
Joe Ralls gave a display that was full of authority last night. He has quietly developed over the last two seasons into a very good midfield player, one capable of holding his own in a top 6 Championship side.
He was so composed on the ball, his passing was crisp and precise and he was always looking to put us on the front foot, getting forward at pace. He was industrious, tenacious and his positional paly was exceptional. On a number of occasions he was in the right place to step in and intercept Sheffield United's attacking play.
What impressed me the most was the confidence with which he accepted passes in tight situations. When he was pressed, he simply glided past palyers to open space up for himself.
Perhaps he lacks the dynamism of a young Ramsey and the vision to produce defence splitting passes of Whittingham in his pomp but he is now a very, very good young midfield player who has been under appreciated by many of our fans.
So glad to read a thread like this about Joe, as he often gets a lot of undeserved stick in my book (including the family member who sticks next to me in the stadium)!! A lot of the work he does often goes unnoticed, but I feel Warnock has got the best out of him thus far and he was much improved last season and undoubtedly upped his standards at the beginning of this.
Completely agree. Perhaps his form coincides with Whitts not being around any more.Originally Posted by thehumblegringo
Easier for Ralls now with 2 wide men who get stuck in and central midfielders alongside him who are box to box.
12 months ago he was struggling, with Gunnar nowhere near the team, an out of form Whitts a powder puff No one and someone else so poor playing in midfield I can't even remember who it was !
MOTM for me last night, I can't remember when we've had so much discussion after the game walking down Sloper rd over 3-4 players who could easily have been MOTM
Ralls
Morrison
Bamba
NML
So many great performances from all eleven players
