Reputationally for the club and in the dressing room he's fucked. That's the long and short of it.

Yeah I have to agree -4 isn't the end of the world in this league with the squad we have (Be it they stay or we sell and recoup) plus parachute payments. After all it's less than the equivilent of dropping points in a loss and a draw. But recruitment needs to be absolutely spot on and that's where I worry.

I think that’s why we need to do a full investigation and kick out anyone involved. The fact it was systemic means it would have been known about if not directly sanctioned by more than just Tonda and Salt. Heads need to roll.

Don't see how Tonda stays, nor do I wan't him to. Thanks for the memories and all that but ultimately his actions directly lead to everything that's happened. The players will be absolutely furious with him. The club need to do a full internal investigation and anyone with knowlege, be it Parsons, Spoors et al. need to go. It's not going to be easy but we need to completely rebuild to move on. No doubt many players will want out, if we receive good offers we should take them, recoup funds and re-invest. To think we can move forward otherwise is completely unrealistic.

I'd just like to go more than one season without the club having to build a new 'project'. We're going to need a complete clear out on the sporting side... again. How are we supposed to build anything with the level of stability the club has had since the arrival of SR. Bordering on Watford levels of nonsense.

I think it speaks volumes that we’ve not come out and sacked Tonda already. I get that we’re appealing but are we seriously saying that we as a club are happy for him to continue even if we win on appeal. it doesn’t give me a lot of hope moving forward. SR Need to go and we need to rebuild. As a club we are in tatters. i don’t care how long it takes or how tough it is. We’ve been at rock bottom before and we came back stronger. We need an ownership group and a manager we can get behind. It’s never felt right since SR came in. The fact is we’re a failed moneyball experiment and the experiment needs to end.

My heart…

That German company that Tonda hired was just to teach them all the shithousery techniques 😂

Hopefully a bit of the dark arts

You’re not going to play well in every match. The baggies are fighting for their lives at home. In another moment this would have been the perfect recipe for a Saints collapse but to Tonda’s credit he made good changes and we rescued a big point. As others have said, on to the next!

We needed to win we did win. 7 from 9 this week.

We look tired. Great save Peretz

Great defending by Archer…

I'm imagining you being absolutely plastered at work with the way you've worded that 😂 Hey... If you can get away with it!

Comfortable first half. Would like to see Larin grab 1 or 2 today to give him a boost. Getting in good positions, probably should have had one already.

Forgive me mate, I've had pingpong trying to tell me George Long should be starting. It's hard to tell these days 😂

Can't quite tell if this is sarcasm... We've got goals in us all over the pitch. In fact we are the top scoring side in the league under Tonda's reign. But if you want names Ross Stewart, Scienza and Azaz have plenty of fire power. Add Larin potentially to that mix and a few from midfield and CBs and we're fine.

Agree on all these points. Sad reality is going up and getting pumped every week is still far better for the club financially than staying down. But I will say I love the Championship.

Full backing for Tonda. He’s proven his quality over his time in charge. Clearly gives the right detail. No we aren’t going to win every match but he’s got this lot playing to their potential which is a borderline miracle given where we were when he came in. Whatever happens at the end of the season back him this summer and we’re in with a shot of automatic promotion next season. (Provided we don’t go up of course 😂)

Good performance, great result. Well done lads.

I tend to agree honestly. Sorry was talking about Sky’s.

The Boruc factor!

Scienza MOTM. Even when he’s not at his best… he’s still bloody good.

This is the best I’ve felt about our squad as a whole in a long time. The balance and depth is spot on.

Hopefully the boys fight for the clean sheet and don’t switch off here.
