Bollocks to the fucking lot of them. They can now get on their private flight and be back to the comfort of their mansions in double quick time. This entire squad and SR just make me want to puke. 3-0 up at half time to fucking Doncaster and they still proceed to almost throw it away. Club is rotten to the core.

Three things:

1. WTAF is up with our second half performances?

2. Not sure about this new keeper

3. Why the hell do I persist with watching and following every game when it brings me so little joy and entertainment. I think there’s actually something wrong with me.

Did our new glovesman save us?

Let's put it this way, it was a soft one to save but we all know that Bazuno would have palmed it into the goal.

The manager is fucking useless

His in-game management is some of the worst we have seen...absolutely shocking

Good to hear "Sports Republic, get out of our club"

New 'keeper made 3 good saves in that game. A bit crazy though but I put that down to jet lag.

Looked as shaky as fuck but is still a massive upgrade on Baz!

Eckert will comfortably go down as one of our worst ever managers. 

Fratton is going to be an absolute mess with that shambles of a manager and with that shambles of a mentality.

Keeper has barely played football for a while, so he’s gonna be rusty. 
 

Made some cracking saves, too. I don’t think we’d have held out with bazunu in goal there

I'm just praying that we can replicate what we did to Charlton, at least once more.

Should be sacked, but wont be.  Total circus of a club. Someone lock this knobhead of a manager out of the changing room at Fratton. 

Feels like SR are naively holding on and things will come to a head at Fratton... We're like a robin reliant stalled on the tracks in the face of a freight train as it stands... we're going to get humbled - this team has no belief, no confidence, and is the most tactically appalling saints side I've watched. I reckon you'd be very hard pushed to find a saints fan feeling optimistic about that game as it stands...

SR could have acted to save the end of the season, so the only assumption any of us could make it that they really are so incompetent as to still being supporting the intern.

Tepid second half.

Doncaster increased their tempo, threatened from crosses, and we folded.

We were 3 up without hammering Doncaster. All the easier to slip into the low energy, low determination, low attack zone we spend so many seconds halves in.

Leo coming on probably saved us conceding again, as he kept the ball up the park for a bit.

In the end Peretz had to palm the ball away twice to stop the equaliser. We looked very shaky on set pieces, against a side who had clearly been working on them.

 Into the next round, which is all that matters.

Happy to give Peretz the benefit of the doubt, he’s barely been here 48 hours so can forgive a couple of adrenaline rushes. Couple of decent saves at the end to prevent an equaliser.

That second half though, utter fucking shite. Can only hope one of the two games prior to the derby is bad enough to get Tonda the boot.

I think for Rasmus this may be the first perfect Tonda performance. We fucked up first half, it didn’t need breaking, we broke it, then kept working hard to capitulate to shite opposition, then seizing unworthy victory from the jaws of victory. Reckon Rasmus and Johannes might be waiting for Tonda at his studio flat tonight, with some flowers and optrex.

Sadly I can only see it being lambs to the slaughter. Shit themselves in the tunnel like in 2005 and probably be a couple of goals down early as we won’t cope with their intensity

What was that second half!?! My 5-0 prediction is laughing at me from its 48th-minute grave. 

A terrid performance after Tonda's half-time chat and changes

To be fair that's a given whoever is our manager.

Alfie senses something is up, his tweets have been a lot less safe recently

Surely he just can't swallow this unacceptable shit that's being served up by SR and Eckert any longer? The entire fanbase needs to turn asap.

Felt very postive after the first 45. Especially with us switching to the back four. I particularly enjoyed the performances of Bragg and Matsuki.

Most of that feeling of  positivity was unfortunately undone with that second half performance. I think Tonda was right to switch shape second half as whatever tweak Doncaster made caused us endless problems. It's still alarming just how stark the difference was when there were no changes of personel after the interval. Complacency perhaps? I just hope the first 10 minutes of that second half doesn't mean that's the last we'll see of a four at the back system. It was clearly working in the first half.

I'm willing to give Peretz the benefit of the doubt given he's not match sharp but it wasn't a great debut. Still, he managed a couple of decent saves. I can understand the Boruc comparison as he seems a bit of a nutter.

I thought Wellington was an improvement on Manning

I thought he’d always been better than Manning but he clearly isn’t one of the “mates club” which gets him picked every week

Not sure how Tonda is going to spin that shite show 

Excellent win with loads of positive performances.

Peretz was incredible today.

Stewart back on the pitch, you can see why they liken him to Miroslav Klose.

”I played four at the back” and we only just won so what do those pesky Saints fans know.
