die Mannyschaft

Yes turning around in our own box with 2 or 3 Bristol trying to get ball will be overlooked.

1st half we got away with some sloppy defending and didnt close down on edge box. But some great sliding tackles today. Manning got several crucial blocks in, Azaz was again trying to get his assist for opponents up, then assists goal and scores one thd most unpredictable player. Overall a decent performance all round again and we seam to be able to get results even with a log of passing around that looks to be doing nothing. Bristol City kept thier formation most of the time and we need a bit more movement upfront. See photos of where Saints position themselves as we do the playoff from back, almost identical all 1st half. The keeper tried the long balls and some deliveries almost got through But another 3 points and goal diff up. A win at Wrexham will keep confidence going

His positioning to clear off line, blocking and passing is top class.

Ref must have been told by EFL and Boro not to give us free kicks.

Saints 3-1, if we can play the same tactical, effort as Swansea v Bristol C. Not sure how Bristol play and hope Tonda just focuses on consistency and doesn't meddle around.

If your transferring from a account with 11 aways to one with 1 away its likely not going to transfer. Got to be same aways? I managed to transfer one but had to go to ticket office and explain why and that was a paper ticket.

Very impressed tonight with Saints work rate. Passing was much quicker and accurate, Azaz actually made a few decent though balls. Closing down anx trying to force Swansea to make a pass rather than take us on Defensively much better apart from a few dodgy moments. Scienza was on fire, KS solid and great passing to midfield. Good to see subs done at right time. Overall a much better Saints team that we expect and great worked goals, should of had more. Statement win shows what we can do.

Needs to be a University degree in football management as obviously a shortage in qualified and experienced coaches.

Our defence has been woeful this season hard to predict which version of Saints will turn up The two factors need sorting out before December. We only need 77,78 or 79 points for 8th so even with our terrible defence should achieve that. We won't play another team like Millwall at home again with a defence as bad as ours.

We had more than that at Birmingham.

Got to be a -4 point offence, Boro on EFL claims hot line.

Scientific substitutions v old fashioned go by whats actually happening is unpredictable which is why sections of are play dont produce anything. Its highly risk and I think why we have drawn last to games as we invite opposition to attack and cant deal with it. The data driven subs dont account for why Saints play so slowly or is that actually Tonda's game plan to crowd out out own half like a Tuchle V2 of Argentina v England 2nd half. Why doent the data or coaches own eyes pick up on Fellows running past 5 or 6 players then stop and lose ball as no other Saints player comes to recieve ball or the crosses he puts in dont have and Saints player at back post?

Draw 1-1. Based on last two games, think tactics will revert to sit back as much as possible and wast as much time holding the ball. Larin to score.

Great actor in classic Man about the House. Just watched few episodes as they are on with others 70s sitcoms

Can we get him back on loan as we still can't defend crosses!

That's what I was thinking. Tonda said we need to grind out these results bug we dont play like a team to grind out wins. I dong understand the subs there is no like for like replacement so a mis match of players and tactics if there is any. I dont think with the players we have plus Tonda we aren't as good as people/pundits make out and. We play mid table football of safety first, hold and pass as much as possible and dont give the ball away even at tgd cost of attacking or breaking away. Lincoln game was as bad as it gets poor ineffective football. Not a top 2 team in quality or coaching.

Its almost as though the players dont fit in as a team. We have someone buying players and someone trying to fit them into two different styles of play we have each game.

It doesn't help players nonsense football. We a game plan for winning not 500 passes.

What has happened its on Paper a better squad.

Watching in bar. Saints are very poor, very bad

I keep saying why are we playing RM football now he's gone. Maybe RM was a much better manager than most Saints fans think for all our managers to copy his tactics.

Lincoln aren't that bad, people underestimate them as a smaller club.

Off to Winchester City so anyone watching Saints keep us updated on our quality of football , bbc text suggests we aren't doing much so far.

If he's that good ; why isn't he playing for Saints? Why has no one from Europe, Prem or championship put bid in? Is he stuck in no man's land because we paid over the odds for him and wages too high? Club obviously dong think he's better than Peretz otherwise wouldn't have signed a new keeper to dit on bench while we already have a bench keeper (that's not even kn the bench) This is the strangest keep situation in football.

Middlesbrough could do with spying on criminals.
