Saint Fan CaM

Come on - four wins on the bounce when previously the team looked defeated almost before kick-off was a great achievement in the time he had initially and showed he had the tactical nouse to find a way to win with the squad he inherited - e.g. the use of AA as pivot in midfield and letting Scienza/Azaz and Fellows off their leashes. The reason that didn’t work against Millwall was because Robinson is not Scienza by some distance, Millwall had a decent gameplan to stifle our midfield and somehow managed to find some bargain basement players who fancied themselves as Messi on the day. Fair play to Millwall - they did a good job on us. Let’s hope Tonda has learned that he cannot rely on crap defenders like Stephens and Manning instinctively knowing how to get stuck in, putting in a tackle and defending more pragmatically by clearing the ball when faced with marauding forwards trying to close them down.

1. Nobody knows what the club and Eckhert have discussed - maybe they’ve said he’s in place as interim until the end of the season, unless a more suitable option emerges. 2. Given he’s out-performed supposedly more experienced Managers with 4 impressive wins, there is more risk in NOT appointing him right now…there are too many unknowns in all the other options meaning he is the safest bet right now. That position is hard to argue against.

Did Millwall get lucky? Let’s face it, we were matching them until the last minute and they score a worldly right? No - the reason they won that game was because the players decided to revert to Russball and sit back too much - we invited the pressure and certain cowards in the team didn’t pressure oncoming attackers and didn’t put a boot in. Millwall did that to us and that was the difference - they wanted it more…had more character. So the question is, can Tonda ensure the mistakes and general lack of character get eradicated in the future? Perhaps he should just accept that there will be bad days at the office? Birmingham will present a perfect opportunity to prove that he really is the real deal. Fail to get a win or draw and it will be time to question his credentials, however continuing to select Stephens and Manning will contribute to his downfall IMO. 1-1 or 2-1 if we’re lucky and Scienza plays.

Very poor all round. Subs made us worse. Nobody wanting to tackle hard. But hats off to Baz and Manning for a clown performance.

Millwall players reminding the ref about shirt pulljng

He’s got to give AA a break as he’s looking very tired.

Yes! 2-2 Azaz

Aribo not helping Manning at all. Bloody Worldy from Millwall.

Manning nearest and just watched the player shoot rather than put a boot in. Coward.

Oh fuck. Defence like a sieve. Baz nowhere near a long shot as usual. Very poor.

Crowd singing for Romeu.

Manning is really outdoing himself today in trying for the most rubbish defender medal.

Utter shit corner from Manning. Can’t even beat the first man.

Aribo on for Jay. Probably a good thing, but would rather Romeu.

Now get Romeu on Tonda - you know it makes sense.

Great pen from AA! 0-1.

Pen!

Tonda has caught Russball flu.

OMG - Manning ducked out of the way of a cross FFS!

Think I’d be taking off Manning for Welington and THB for Romeu to help out the midfield which is struggling.

Tonda has a big halftime chat ahead of him. At this point previously we’ve been comfortable - today, we’re actually behind. Behind f-ing Millwall FFS…I don’t want that to sink in!

Well I’ve reverted to hating fucking Manning again. Just shit.

What is the point of a back five when you’re getting overrun at the back and can’t play out.

Utter shit defending - nothing has changed. Totally negative football. Hos the hell did Fellows get booked for being brought down?

THB reverts to his worst self. Robinson is not great.
