Toadhall Saint

And it is about this time that (from too many years experience) something comes along and burst the big balloon of optimism. I’m hoping not just yet though as, like you, I’m enjoying watching this saints side.

Fucking bottle droppers the lot of em.

I thought both of those second 45 minutes said a lot about the team as a whole. Very very professional saw the games out with minimum drama.

Assuming there is a press conference for this? If so is it today?

At the press conference for the Leicester game he was asked how he had enjoyed the last 48 hours - his response - I started to watch Leicester games as soon as I got home from the Charlton game.

Yep

I like it - better than their old ground - now that was horrible.

Was just about to post the same. Credit where credit is due.

I won’t be happy unless it relates to xg or something

It’s called hedging your bets. Or “whatever happens I wasn’t wrong” 😉

He is a thinker - very measured in his responses. Very calm and collected. Probably why the players seem to like him - they know he has given a lot of thought to what he is asking or telling them.

Quality from the first time he touched the ball you could see he was a bit good.

Very very good tonight Leicester didn’t know what to do with him.

Bit rough on manning but we need a defender not a wanderer

I like his measured approach tbh.

Like I say 4 points (to go with the 9) has got to have him more than “in the running”. I’m quite interested to see how Leicester look to play - attack or hold deep. If they look to play I think it’ll play into our hands if the hold deep then it’ll be a long night - interesting all the same.

So two spirited losses? Or 2 battling draws? Would that be enough? For me 4 points.

So how many wins/draws/losses would it be to make him the manager?

He knew and was answering a question about teams that sit back. So actually having a plan B depending on how Leicester play on the day

He is very measured in his responses which I find quite good - he is a thinker. His response to AB about how the last 48 hours had been - “I got home on Saturday and started to watch Leicester games…” speaks volumes about the dedication and effort he will put in.

Draw

No but some will.

Far more control. Did they get a chance in the second half? I think I enjoyed the second half because it was controlled and not chaotic.
