Sometimes you just have to win ugly. Something Saints teams havent done in a while. Another clean sheet to boot too. I was very critical of Tonda at one point. Thought it was another loony SR decision which would fail. He has proven me and a lot of others wrong. Regardless of how the season finishes, he'll be here next season and I'm excited what he can do when he has more time with the team

Their last two games may not be as difficult as they seem. Coventry could/should be champions (although will want to finish at home with a win) and same Boro could be confirmed 3rd and resting players. We could do the autos going down to the wire

For once working to our benefit. There have been other Goztepe players who we should have considered, like Romulo and Juan

That is a great picture 😂

We beat Swansea on boxing day in the last Championship season?

Definitely something wrong with our scouting* if these are the players that are being recommended *thats if we even have any scouts left. Probably relying on spotty data analysts brought in by Rasmus

Downs had scored 11 the season just before we signed him. That worked out superbly for us

Because he's a big man don't you know. Apparently the solution to all our problems

Exactly, Sunderland bought nearly a whole new team and they seem to be doing ok

Baz was the perfect example of where the game went mad for a while (blame Pep) - a keepers distribution and starting plays from the back was more important than actual shot stopping. Same with 'inverted full backs' who cant fucking defend - we've got one of those too. Good to see the game having a bit of a reset with so much emphasis on set plays and long throws etc this season......oh and a goalkeeper who saves a shot now and again 😂

We need at least 10 from 15 to keep us in the playoff hunt

Hopefully that's the 5 at the back nonsense condemned to the bin for good now. We've looked so much more organised since we went back to 4. Stephens, Welington, Downes and Azaz were excellent today, but the whole team played well. Now lets get a striker in and push on

We need to be using up our allocated loans. At least if it doesnt work out then we're not stuck with the player on a 4/5 year contract. Would rather that than panic buying another Carrillo or Tall Paul

Whos scoring goals in Bundesliga 2? Thats who we'll probably sign given Spors knows fuck all else

It's also worth adding that the January window is always more difficult. Teams are unwilling to sell mid-season unless they have a good replacement lined up and players are ridiculously overpriced. When was the last time we actually made a decent permanent January signing? Gabbiadini? We've had some decent loans like KWP and Brooks, but plenty of panic buys like Tall Paul, Orsic, Carrillo and Sulemana 💩

Sure SR have pocketed that already

Yeah his subs killed us 👍🏻

At least we didnt lose, but we're going nowhere under Tonda, Spors and SR. They'll probably be patting themselves on the back after that result. We'll be lucky to get top half which is embarrassing given the money we spent in the summer.

Wouldnt expect us to spend given the outlay in the summer - unless we plan to offload Armstrong or THB in the next week. Need to explore the loan market. Striker and CB please

Sorry to break it to you, but Tonda doesnt do classic 4-3-3 formations

Charles, Jander and Downes on the pitch together is not going to work. Much of a muchness there If Charles comes in, it should be for Downes

If all three of them leave it will have been an insane transfer window 😂

Tonight doesnt change the price of fish. TE is not the long term managerial solution

4 4 fucking 2 and hey presto, we look much more solid and organised Its mad that its taken this long and the amount of goals we've conceded for TE to realise that 3 CBs has not been working for us. That being said it would not surprise me if he reverts to that at the weekend 🤯 Seen it mentioned that the CBs looked more comfortable. No wonder when they've played 90% of their careers in a four with full backs who tuck in and offer cover. 3 CBs works for certain teams with certain players, but we dont have those players. Lets get a win on Sunday now 💪🏼

Just seen that Inter have signed another young croatian CB. Might clear the way for this move. Not what we need right now, but at least it would be something
