RIP Andy

Coventry will take some stopping. Funny, I didn't see a runaway team this year but then they could hit poor form at some point. Two more wins in quick succession and we're slam back in the play off hunt. For now I think we're probably playing like a mid-table team, even though we probably have players better than that. 31 games to go, not unheard of for a team to power through the League. Get the next manager right, make the right January signings and we'll slam up that league. We just need to keep in touch.

I think the 4 you've listed are probably about as good as it gets. Carrick would be a bit 'meh' but he wouldn't have the antagony (is that a word? I feel like it should be) with the fans that Martin, Tonda or O'Neill would have. Heck I'd take Mowbray over having Martin back (Tony, not his brother!)

It was... ok. Trees were not pulled up but we definitely played better today than we did against QPR although they were better than Wednesday were. Some of attacking moves were decent in the first half but then we conceded to a decent goal (and poor keeping) and suddenly you could see the nerves creep back in. Half time came, Barnaby came on and suddenly I worried about how it would turn out, but the Armstrong goal pretty much killed the game. To be fair to Wednesday, they did try, they just lack the quality which isn't a surprise bearing in mind their predicament. They'll go down but will probably be better for it in the long run. I CBA to do a player ratings but Scienza, Fellows and Jander were the stand outs (summer signings working well), and I thought AA and even Manning had decent games. Pleased for Azaz to get his first goal, more please. THB was a bit better too. Williams was tidy but didn't blow me away. I can't say it enough though... drop the 3CBs but I guess with injuries we're stuck with it as we have numbers in that position. 2 wins from 2 from Tonda but I'm with others, we need a more experienced manager going forwards. Not Martin (whatever the players want) and not O'Neill as neither will get the fan base onside. Carrick might be dull but he'd probably do for the short term. Either that or stick with Tonda for a few more games then see who becomes available. Anyway a nice day out with my daughter who has now seen 7 Saints goals in 2 games in her life time. I should take her more.

I'm calling Barnaby Williams "Herbie" because he shares the same number with the Bug

Good luck Barnaby

Gregory Vignal was one.

Taking my 7 year old to this one so hoping shes a lucky omen. At least for goals, the only other game I got her to was the Saints 4 Norwich 4 early on in our last Championship season. I will say but it won't finish 4-4 tomorrow. Another scraping one goal win will do me. Downs with the winner. There I said it.😁

If we were bringing him back to the Prem I'd have reservations but for a struggling Championship team that need experience and guile in DM, at his age and with his recent experience, I'm happy we've made this move. Good for leadership, good for morale, good for experience and even if his fitness levels aren't once what they were (tbc), he'd have been a perfect fit to bring off the bench last night when protecting our lead.

Beat Wednesday now and some cracks will have been seriously papered over.

Good God that was a chore. 3 points thanks mainly to individual brilliance.

This game has aged me horrifically. corner for Baz time wasting.

We have another sub Tonda… make it!

Baz made a save. Pressure still on.
