Bloody teary-eyed sentimentalists! 🥲🥲🤣😛
Honestly, with Joe's reoccurring injury problems, I'd be surprised if he was able to trigger an extension clause to see him into the 25/26 season.
Even if injuries are not the cause of him making sufficient appearances, I think the fact that new, fresh, legs will see him struggling to make match-day squads.
I think we’re better when he’s in the side. Great servant, it’s clear he adds value to the dressing room, so it’s a good deal for everyone.
7 assists this season, 3 more than anyone else, plus a goal.
Ralls has consistently shown the last few years that when he doesn't play we sorely miss him.
He's a really solid player at this level and it's hard to come by an experienced pro in the championship. As someone already pointed out he makes us a much better team.
Fully deserved extension.
Ralls has something to offer, it might be coming off the bench and helping to close the game out, it might be offering an alternative to a tired midfield that plays Saturday, Tuesday Saturday etc.
Whatever it is, a good few managers have trusted Ralls to do a job, rightly so!
He’s been a great servant to the club and it’s nice to see loyalty, recognised and rewarded in my opinion
I’ saw him make his debut away at Oxford’ at the start of that League Cup run in 2011,
Well done to the club
How many have lasted so long coming through as a 16 year old? Doesn’t matter we snatched him from Aldershot. He’s a product from the City youth.whichever way you look at it, he’s been a loyal and very good player for the Club.
A bit of continuity & familiarity doesn’t go amiss. His off field worth is an asset, knowing the place and club inside out & conveying it to new recruits is not to be sniffed at.
Good, I'm glad.
When you look at all the creative ways we have spunked money away over the years even if he manages a similar amount of matches to this season it's worthwhile.
Good solid pro that has rarely let anyone down. Still only 30 and been here all those years.
If only we had found more like him.
Pretty much my view on it too. We're likely again to get a fair few players in though the door in the summer and having some continuity will surely help settling in.
He's had a solid year this season and Bulut has stated a while ago that he wanted Joe to stay. The extension clause looks to be a shrewd move by the club too.
OK. You'll be glad to know that I won't post on this again after this one but I just gotta say that I like Joe and agree with a lot of stuff but come on!....blue-coloured specs or what?!
Our mid-field has been slagged off for years....with or without Joe. Also....what about the Leicester game? Dewsbury-Hall anyone?....but carry on with the love-in.
Decent chance he ends up as one of our top 10 highest appearing players.
There’s got to be something about him for a dozen or so managers to consistently pick him for the last 10+ years.
I think we’re a better team with him on the pitch.
Just did a captain’s interview on Sky
Spoke fondly of his love for the club
great news, may not quite be " one of our own " but he certainly thinks that way
gives 100% and add quality to our team, glad to have you staying around Rallsy
