I don’t think anybody has been suggesting we need a different interim manager 

Nope, but more we should be rushing to approve anyone as a perm manager, so it's not him.

He’s scored, got forward well and dug out a couple of Charlton crosses. I can’t complain about him, personally.

I think we've got so used to complaining that today's performance has thrown some people completely and they're just posting negative comments like this out of habit.

[Saint_clark]

That'll do pig.

He looks VERY comfortable

Cheers. 

5. Wow. Fair to say Eckert's audition is going ok. 

[Sunglasses Ron]

1-5

[Wade Garrett]

😂😂😂😂😂

[sockeye]

Could he have done better?

[SouSaint]

Don't you fucking dare. 

[obelisk]

Typical of Saints to concede just before half time. The come back is on.

[BotleySaint]

5-1 the comeback is on

[RedArmy]

And there’s Baz’s weekly nowhere near it moment 

[James]

Bad goal to concede that. 

[Saint NL]

So easy for them

[Lighthouse]

Unmarked, disappointing that.

[tdmickey3]

Ball watching Stephens again

[saint michael]

Defence still very shaky 

 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Baz moves like a fucking elephant - again.

[Saint_clark]

Of course. Cheers Baz.

[Viking Saint]

5-1 FFS. Eckhart out.

Stephens ball watching as fucking usual

FFS

"And a free header for Jones"

[coalman]

Need another couple of goals before I start feeling the win is safe.

There's the first...🥴

[Lighthouse]

F**k me, people are actually blaming Bazunu for that. 🤣🤣

Unmarked but may as well have a statue in goal. 

[Saint NL]

Does that kill our positive goal difference?

[BARCELONASAINT]

poor defending giving a free header, no blame on Baz for that despite some already willing to blame him ffs

[James]

It was nowhere near the corner an yet he was still nowhere near it.

[Wade Garrett]

Baz can be blamed for a lot, but not that one.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Doesn’t matter how good we are in atta k when you’ve got Baz, Stephens and Manning in fucking defence!

[Wade Garrett]

Can’t see Nathan ‘look at me’ Jones giving it the big one after this.

[Saint NL]

20 shots in that half for Saints. Proper attacking football, great to see.

 

Anyone know the XG?

Edit, XG is apparently 3.97

Armstrong has absolutely destroyed them. Scienza and Fellows dominating too. 

But why have they got the space to do this? Bragg and Jander. The difference between a Still team and this, properly coached and prepared team, is the CM movement to open up channels for the CBs to find the forward players, rather than get stuck with the ball. Got to give a massive shout to Bragg. Looks like he'll be a very good player.

Well played everyone  and unless we go to shit in the next two matches, good luck in the role, Tundra Eckhardt!

Poop goal to concede though.

Let's go for the 9.

[ant]

Anybody else indulging in imagining the scenes within the Charlton dressing room as Jones combusts? 🤭

Currently +1

[RedArmy]

How did Will Still have this team looking like a league 2 outfit? 
 

You almost have to be impressed. 

[sadoldgit]

The last time I saw Southampton play Charlton at The Valley they hammered us 6-2. It has taken many years but revenge is sweet! 🥳

He’ll probably claim he taught them everything they know - just that they’re catching on now!

[skintsaint]

WTF, thought it was 3pm kick off. WTF is going on !!

[saint francis]

Looks like Tonda has set the players free.  

[badgerx16]

I am still nervous when we are passing it across the back inside our own penalty area.

[obelisk]

Good to see Saints moving the ball quickly from defence to attack. Caught Charlton by surprise that we didn't pass it slowly around at the back to allow them to get back into position.

[Sheaf Saint]

Ok so the marking was terrible and the blame overall lies with the defenders (Stephens in particular) for allowing a free header.

But, once again, you find yourself wondering if a keeper with better reactions could have saved it, because as always the ball has pretty much already gone past Baz before he even moved.
