Another really disappointing performance- but that’s what we come to expect. Don’t think we deserved anything from that, Pompey were slightly the better team & like every other side want it more than us! We are pathetically lightweight & a real unorganised mess, do we ever win any aerial battles? In training they must be instructed not to head that ball! Tonda is so out of his depth & we are clearly going backwards sad football times

1st half of your typical/expected Derby play really - pretty messy & dull. Think we’ll be our own downfall with another mistake - suicidal passing at times, especially from THB & we do still look like a circus at the back, especially when the ball bounces in & around area. Midfield pretty empty at times - far too much space for them & ease to push in our final 3rd. Peretz been pretty good with his punch clearances, Bree been pretty solid & Matsuki been pretty good. Important decisions/timings on substitutions from Tonda needed and we could steal it Both poor teams though - not much between us

Come on Saints - Do us proud!

Here we go again! Tonight Tonda, I’d like to see 110% effort from all players, fight, spirit, balls, will-to-win, urgency, forward/direct passing, positivity, excellent defending of crosses, leadership, camped in their final 3rd, passion, clean sheet, solid goalkeeping performance, good/present midfield link up play, female streaker 🤞😂 Am I asking for too much?

No doubt another Groundhog Day performance & loss 😞 really can’t feel any hope Currently watching the Brighton vs Bournemouth game - 2 teams coached on a complete different level - positive, direct, high energy, fight/will to win, entertaining Sadly - Everything we are not

Tonda might’ve stumbled on our winning formula moving forward now Score at least 3 goals & we may be with a chance of winning

Rise & Shine it’s Groundhog MatchDay! Going for a 3-1 loss - with the same old dross 😞

God - I give up with this absolute shite! Football at its absolute predictable boring worst! Major changes needed all around

Still stuck in Groundhog Day! Yet another very poor 1st half. Positives, maybe Matsuki & a clean sheet Such predictable passages of play - boring as f & negative! Bellis seems to be getting far too much of the ball lately, like he’s a creative midfield player, his passing is shite Scienza disappointing, Downes non existant, Wood & Stephens utterly awful as always Quick changes in 2nd half please attack attack attack

Millwall totally deserved to beat us at theirs. So much more effort, fight & physicality. Their manager tactically played a blinder. Unfortunately, I only seeing it being the same today. Brave changes with team selection today but feel it’s less positive/attacking Hope Ekert changes it up at the right times if needed

Utter 💩 God we are an awful team. Tactically poor, unorganised, no fight, slow, 2nd to every ball etc……. Utter shite Birmingham manager very animated & willing his players on - Ekert stood there frozen - Think he’s well out of his depth What is happening at this club to allow this just to always stay the same?

Here we go again, please don’t make me feel like I’m stuck in Groundhog Day! Hoping for:- 🙏🏼 No goalkeeping errors, No defensive errors, No goals from crosses, No easy/give me goals, High energy/faster play, more forward/direct/positive play, Fight/Physical strength 💪, rapid closing down (certainly around our goal area), no stupid substitutions. Sure that I’ve missed plenty!? & am asking for far too much, it’s only been like this for years! 🙄 Got to see some fight & improvement - please! COYR - I’m clinging on

Pretty much halfway through the season & we are in Top 5 sides with most goals conceded - which is absolutely no surprise! Very much what we do over God knows how many seasons. Stats that are there for everyone to see - yet we seem to settle for terrible Goalkeepers & Central Defenders If any money is spent in January then this must be our top priority First & Foremost we have to be a side who is very hard to score against & for many years - we have been one of the easiest in every league we’ve been in

Piss poor defensively as usual Another cross & we seem to all freeze

How many years have we been absolute Dogshit at defending? it’s like a bloody perpetual circus back there - embarrassing! Surely there’s a decent defensive coach out there somewhere

Great test for us today Hoping to see 100% fight, faster/more direct football. Millwall game was not a straight forward defeat imo - they outplayed us in every department with so much more strength & will to win, worried me greatly, so today will reveal more. Our GK & defence is always my biggest worry every single game. Romeu looked way off fitness when he came on last game & Robinson needs to work on improving his strength - far too lightweight Going for a draw today

Got what we deserved today Very poor & quite worrying Clueless most of the time & needed a complete change of tactics Bellis needs a week of passing & touch training or maybe a month Aribo was a waste of substitution Seemed a lack of energy today & no real urgency - maybe last run of games has caught up with us

What am I watching??? 😂 Blimey - speechless

Scienza is on another level Armstrong little fortunate wow what a start

That was simply superb 👏 What a goal

These next 2 games will be the proper test for Tonda. I’m expecting us to get battered in all manners in both games & then it’ll be panic stations again for the new manager. Absolutely Criminal that they haven’t sorted this out yet - but it’s no surprise given everything they’ve done so far. Truly hope I’m wrong & we see some fight & spirit

In training, do they a) only practice passing it across the back line & into midfield & then back to the defence to repeat - while our strikers chase them about, building in many mistakes. b) Pretend to go training - but don’t actually go in - or maybe just go into the gym, pool & canteen maybe Terrible 1st half - was feeling hopeful tonight for a lot more fight & positivity 😞 Playing too deep, too weak, too slow Got to beat this shit!

Putting my Saints frustrations, darkness/depression to one side. I do think that with just 2 great additions - 1 very proven/decent big old school Striker & 1 Strong/Commanding Centre Back - we’d have a team that would get in play-offs at the very least

Predictable performance/result 😔 Every opposition manager must just say - stay patient, they’ll have lots of possession, which will be no threat. Punish their mistakes & have faith, they will make many, they will fall apart, we are much stronger We are no easy fix, major change needed If there is any truth in that we could add a Free agent squad member right now then the whole club should be working every hour under the Sun to sort this now for a big strong awkward centre forward to hold the ball up Armstrong & Archer are no real threat & very easily controlled in the main We need more urgency & much more directness through the middle rather than always passing out wide ending in nothing so bloody frustrating

Terrible performance today Just when I felt a slight change in my outlook on this side There is no way on earth we will b getting anyway near Play offs this season 😞
