What utter nonsense......best squad in the League my arse. For most of the season we did not have a real striker fit or available. A weak link in goal. And a scarred squad from an awful Prem season with a club clearly in disarray. 'On paper' Leicester had the strongest squad in the League, with Ipswich not far behind. If you are so blind as to not see that 35 points from 20 games is an excellent return, that's your problem. Eckert has taken a squad with low morale and playing abysmally to, somehow, still being in with a shout of the plays offs and it also looks like the culture within the club is being improved and rebuilt. Seriously, some fans. No doubt they'd prefer someone like Dyche (a 'proper' manager).

Sometimes you have to just say fair play about the opposition. Very limited but defended really well and were obviously keen for payback from the reverse fixture. Thought both Stewart and Larin played well and were a real handful.......shame our geniuses at SR didn't recognize this at the start of the season insetad of wasting money on an unknow quantity who turned out to be pretending to be a footballer. For me both Azaz and Fellows have been underwhelming all season apart from one purple patch. For those saying the Christmas results will be why we don't make the play offs I don't think that's the case: it was the position WIll Still left us in (13 games played, 12 points. Since then we have 35 points from 20 games which would clearly be enough to finish in the play offs at least over the course of a season)

So many chances but just not clinical enough. Both Fellows and Azaz have, IMO, been very, very disappointing signings. Plenty of time to get a winner but we need to be playing with more intensity.

To all on here who were proclaiming Peretz as a massive upgrade on Baz: do you still think that? He's absolutely shite and is a mistake waiting to happen.

Looks like we have Archer to look forward to on the bench. The young striker played the full 90 earlier today for the U21s (and scored again)

I didn't mean his contract status - I meant he was played constantly when it was clear he needed a break from the front line. He needed to learn his craft gradually like Jay Robinson, Bragg and others are

And yet some clowns still want us to bin him off for a 'proper manager' (whatever the hell that is)

You can clearly see Tonda is going to be an excellent manager. Will he continue to make mistakes? Absolutely, he's still learning his trade. It's clear the players love him and, for me, it's definitely no co-incidence we have played with a different mindset since the Hull debacle and he was in the dressing room for an hour afterwards. It wasn't just going to 4 at the back since that game but he clearly gave them all a rocket up their arse (and same tonight). I love how he (as any manager would do) did not throw Archer to the wolves despite his abject performance. Hoping Bragg and the young striker start on Saturday. We have to be patient with Tonda and give him 2-3 years minimum. We can't continually be changing managers (we've seen where that gets us) and his win percentage is insane: bearing in mind we had a 7 game run without a win (but 4 draws in there).

That can't be right......we need a proper manager (that no-one can name) and all the nonsense about someone like Dyche being needed (he's been appalling at both Everton and Forest. It was clear very early on that Tonda could be a quality manager - I think he could be an excellent manager for us over a long period of time. Lost a lot of respect for ALfie House who, for some reason, has it in for Tonda and is still writing drivel about these nameless managers who could replace him in the summer.

What planet are you on? Saints should be 2 or 3 up but for poor finishing. It's a terrible game but your comment is utter nonsense

FOr me, Fellows has been a huge disappointment this season. Just not good enough. Opposition teams have worked out Leo....put 2 on him and more often than not he'll lose the ball. Dull,dull, dull

should fit in well at Leicester. If and when they get their 12 point deduction this season they are in big trouble

Sorry Badger you're right - I was also thinking of the HUll game. TOnda came out an hour late: of course he wouldn't say what was said but he must have given them both barrels and some players have been conspicuous by their absence since then (or at least only coming on as subs).

You keep saying this you absolute muppet! The season wasn't written off when making Tonda manager - we'd just won 5 out of 6 and were 2 points off the play-offs. Get your facts right you utter bed wetter. He is going to be a very good manager for us, that I'm sure of. He obviously has no say on incomings and has had to work with a bunch of lightweight, no heart players. Everyone says going 4 at the back made all the difference: I think it's more likely what was said in the dressing room after the Hull debacle as there has been a ton more fight since then

I have been enormously disappointed in Fellows whose shooting is perhaps the worse I have ever seen. Flatters to deceive and at least Azaz has made things happend and scored several goals.
