Tonda was given three games so we'll probably know more on Sunday as to whether he has the gig. After the last 4 games I wouldn't think many fans would be upset. OK, we have good players on paper, but so did Still and Tonda has got a tune out of them. Fellows is clicking, Scienza is clicking, AA is linking up well with them and even Azaz has started banging goals in. I won't go on about not liking 3 CBs, I don't, but even then Tonda has got them playing in such a way that they don't look like muffing up every minute - some of the bodies on the line defending early in the first half today was exceptional. Shit, even Baz pulled off a good save. Would I like someone more experienced in? Maybe, it depends who it is, but you can't dismiss what Tonda has done so far is excellent. Everyone has to start somewhere, and Tonda seems to fit. He speaks well too. There will be sterner tests to come, and it is how he deals with those, but we can't win every game and right now, the first team is playing fluid exciting football. I love the fact we attempting Through Balls. I'm a big fan of a through ball. We knock SR for a lot, and rightly so at times, but some of the summer transfers we made have been the business. Jander is excellent too. Now they need to get the managerial appointment right - and Tonda has done his chances the world of good.

I'm off to deal with Chelsea at work. Come on Saints, all i have on the drive is Talkshite updates.

Downes finally has his booking. Could have been worse. Banned next match. Romeu in?

Another decent showing from Manning from dead balls. Azaz also looked good again. Come on Joe, show what you can do.

Welington and Big Joe coming on soon.

Fine by me. They're 3 down. They know what could happen if we get a couple more.

Close again AA even if he knew nothing about it

I wish I had Fellows' stamina. Bloody Duracell bunny.

We are all over them. Need to take a chance.

Shot AA, wide. Break in play already for their striker.

Fatawu and Mavididi off for them, Soumare and Ayew on. That's a bonus. Edit- although Fatawu was shite that half

Even at 3 nil up and a player advantage, on top of playing well and against THAT defence, the Saints fan of 36 years in me would still like another goal or two, just to make sure. 😁

Halftime. We've had worse first halves...

Love how direct Fellows is. Him, Leo and Azaz are ripping them a new butthole

When was the last time we scored from one? United last season?

Taylor again! He's on a hatttick! We want 4!

Leo so close, good save Begovic

Get a third here and that should be game over. If it isn't already.

Come on Saints, avenge the 9 nil!

Sending off! Aluko the youngster

Confidence is key. Azaz is on fire but that was classic Leo that goal. Lovely touch from the midfielder too (was it Jander?)

2 nil and we are cooking on the counter.

Absolutely beautiful goal! Azaz!

Jeez Quarshie, kicked his own foot i think

Damn that was close. Credit to Baz when it's due, he got down well.
