Birmingham fans signing “sideways and backwards, everywhere we go” today 😂 Take note Saints fans

Got to admire the ambition of getting promoted by boring all the other teams and the fans to death

You can predict his post match press conference: - Gavin Bazunu showed his quality - We go into every game looking to win/get three points - We should be pleased that we got a point against a very good team Utter pish

Tonda can leave now.

Agreed. Reading this forum and talking to colleagues I don’t know anyone that is a fan of him or his tactics.

Tonda can leave now.

Has anything of note happened? I went off to play Warzone (Call Of Duty), it’s way more entertaining and passes the half quicker. 😂

“We go into every game looking to get three points”. Proceeds to leave top scorer on the bench, the other two most creative players on the bench, keeps a defensive back three CBs passing sideways for an entire half and subs off Scienza at half time.

Literally anyone.

Scienza subbed at HT. Tactical Tonda genius

Just remember guys Tonda says “We go into every game looking for three points”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hearing Adam and Jo try and find the positives on that half was hard - Bragg has done ok. That was it. Sounds absolute crap.

Based on?

Just the one attempt so far. When we said we were looking ahead to promotion was this in two years time when we’re in League 1? 😂

Got to admire the attitude of a manager who sets out to defend the game first and foremost with statically the worst keeper in three years and a horrific “solid” defensive three that’ll never concede any goals. Oh wait. Millwall getting at least two today

So glad I didn’t pay for a ticket. 😂

Got to admire the attacking ambition from our club. Three CBs, again. Stephens again. Bazunu again. Drop the attacking talent including your highest goal scorer. Matsuki goes from being anonymous to a starter. I don’t get this club.

It would be a very Sport Republic thing to get a new keeper in, a worse keeper than Bazunu so that we can suddenly hail the Irishman as a hero 😂

I don’t have a lot of faith in this keeper. If he wasn’t deemed good enough for Hamburg then that bodes well straight away. Still, yes-man Tonda is there to do exactly what he is told like the good old dog that he is.

Looks like we’ve got a loan keeper coming in. Baz’s incompetences can be replaced by someone else.

Maybe if we had less CBs on the pitch we would concede just as many. But I’m pretty confident we’d score a lot more.

Jack Stephens and Gavin Bazunu do nothing other than hinder the team. Lack of real leadership or authority on the pitch, so much for the supposed leader tag off it. Those two you could replace with any other player and I don’t think it would make too much difference.

Ducky playing devils advocate for every possible tactical decision, team selection, formation etc, etc. I’d say that every possible question Lord D has asked has been answered, but he’s still not happy with them…

And I think that’s the point, if we’re going to concede then we might as well try and outscore the opposition. In terms of a 4-3-3 if you have an attacking mid it’s effectively a 4-2-3-1, which some are a fan of, very similar to the Koeman era. Alternatively a 4-3-3 allows a holding midfielder to drop deep, which we always do, as a third CB option, this then allows the FB’s to push higher up, the Wingers to push higher as the ST would inevitably drop deep. Effectively it becomes a 3-4-3 in transition, similar to Russell Martin days where Che Adams would drop deep, if you’d like a better option see Liverpool with Roberto Firmino. 😁

The time-wasting, diving and feigning of injuries on both sides in this Arsenal v Villa game is shambolic. How refreshing would it be to see fines given for this shit. Commentators never call out this.
