So may opportunities to get rid of that. What a let off.

The WBA co-commentator is at least good comedy value. Sounds like he's won a fan's competition to be there.

Like, if he wants to sit and hold possession, he needs more bodies in midfield. 5 defenders ain't keeping possession anywhere other than our own 3rd. This is delusional.

This manager is not good enough for long term, get some stick for saying it but its true

I agree not unless he can seriously improve his game management  when we are under the cosh! Doesn't seem to have any plan B whatsoever

FT 3-2 but again Saints nearly screw up their advantage. This poor game management is now a theme and it needs to be sorted out.

Look like Saints without Leo on the pitch is whole different story, another good win, if we put a whole game together at some stage we will batter someone soon

Good to win.

We cannot keep doing this in the second half of games.

Yep, we won't get away with it against better sides and Coventry will smash us if we do

Not great second half need to learn to keep up the intensity.

People saying Tonda isnt good enough are bloody jokers. We have won 6 in 7. Have they forgotten what it was like about a month ago. Short term memories

At 3-0 it’s perfect to change to 4 at the back. Extra body in midfield, control the game. We just give up possession over and over again in a back 5, it’s utterly infuriating.

WBA played that 2nd half like more teams will play us.

Push further up, press our midfield/close the gaps down. Amazed teams stand off ut

We have to do something different to passing it around at the back, give to THB to start an attack. 

When the space in midfield is closed off, only Azaz is capable of first time balls forward around the corner.

We have to have another string to our bow or we will not go up

It’s accelerated it but already a sluggish mess before that dropping too deep.

I think there is a level of fatigue going on so something for Eckert to remedy.  But the outlet dies with him and Fellows who also looked tired.

Ok, serious questions need to be asked as to why we are allowing teams back into games despite us playing great football and building a lead. That second half was just pathetic for a team holding a 3-0 lead. What instruction is Tonda giving the players because they need to do the opposite. We are a team that cannot defend ergo attack is the best form of defence. We could have lost tonight which is a ridiculous thing to be saying. At 3-0 it should have been a question of how many do we want to score. We go from looking like champions to a team fighting relegation and the fact it happens after building a 3 - 0 lead is crazy. Rant over and thankfully we got the points.
