Just amazing 2nd half, but imagine if we played like that in both halves ffs. 🤣

Tonda was clearly just trolling Leicester all along with that first half lineup. 

[egg]

Bloody blimey, that was some comeback from the dead. Fair play to the players for digging in, and the manager for not being afraid to switch it up. 

[trousers]

[DrunkenSaint]

hes actually done well in the 2nd half!

Quite a few idiots on here need to wobble their heads. Doubt they have the guts to retract all their spiteful venom aimed at the manager and certain players at HT. 

No need because he clearly got the team selection wrong and the first half was abject. We won in spite of him rather than because of him. Doesn't make anyone who called him out an idiot because it was proved.

Stupendous result but doesn't absolve Eckert's abject decision making in the first half. Should have been much more comfortable than it was but, f**k it, a win's a win...hoorah!!

You sound pissed off. Odd.

Incredible. First time in ages. True team fight in second half. Thank you 

[Zorba]

Great result. Almost makes up for that 9-0. Tonda got away with one there. Brilliant second half. COYS!!!

He gave them a three goal lead then ripped their hearts out. All part of the plan lol

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Tonda completely made that such hard work for us with a stupid starting lineup. 
 

But my god. We don’t do second half’s. But Carlsberg do and that was a Carlsberg second half. 
 

That will do wonders for team spirit and togetherness going forward. Hopefully give us some more strength and belief going forward, especially when/if we go behind in future. 
 

[Smatt48]

Thank fuck for that - drink it in lads, it doesn’t come around often! Safe travels to the away fans 

[SNSUN]

Seems like years ago we scored 4 goals in one half but we actually got 5 at Charlton this season.

Tonda got it wrong and that’s why we were losing. He changed what he should he changed and we won because of the players attitude

Ok without trying to put the kiss of death on him, watch how much more calmer and more tempo control charles brings

Unbeaten in 5 league games - 4 wins

Awesome win. Tonda still needs to go away from our club. He is just guessing all the time.

He made excellent adjustments, so he was very involved.

while the archer thing backfired, he could hardly have predicted fellows and jander would go rogue and play for the opposition.

I don't think i have seen a more inept 45 mins!!

Please drag off Fellows, Azaz, Jander & Archer - criminal performance from all of them!!

 

Well that was chalk & cheese

[Wiggles31]

What the actual fuck. I’m speechless after that. 
 

Up the football league we go! 

[Osvaldorama]

Feels so good to see some fight and character against adversity for a change. 
 

And tonda fully went for it. All credit to him second half.

I, for one, plan on spending my evening reading the Leicester forum. 

Fawa has gone onto Leicester’s official club tv channel. It’s just former players sat in silence unable to speak. It’s amazing, like watching a funeral

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

That's just saved our season. Charles and Stewart were brilliant when they came on. 

Please Tonda, no experiments from now on. Play the strongest team from the start.

[HarvSFC]

Incredible win. We were still 3-1 down on the 80th minute. 

Stephens' finish for the second goal was probably my favourite of the night and gave the faintest belief. But, we went and done it!

Got away with starting Archer. If it isn't Birmingham, he isn't interested. Never again. 

But, yeah, what a win. Up the Saints.

Behave. Starting Archer wasn't wise, but it may have been a Stewart fitness thing. Starting Jander and Fellows wasn't a mistake though. 

[SNSUN]

[AlexLaw76]

A result like that, with the form bubbling away, has to provide a huge lift/opportunity.

3 home games on the bounce, after the next (FA Cup) it is Charlton and QPR at home...got to be....surely???

First time in my lifetime we’ve won from 3 down. Can only remember one draw from 3 down, against liverpool In 2000

ChatGPT and Google Gemini saying we’ve never coming from 3 0 down to win before. Happy to be corrected.

[Willo of Whiteley]

I told you…

ITS TONDA TIME BITCHES!!!!

[Hopper]

I’ll say this for as poor as the first half was and that was squarely on Tonda’s selection he had the balls to make the right changes. On reflection taking off Bree was a good decision and bringing on Manning was also the right move.

The players look right behind the manager and they played out of their skins in the second half. Great fight, great result, mixed performance.

 

Archer should never sniff the shirt again, he’s done.

Apart from starting Archer - and there may be reasons for that in terms of match fitness of the other two strikers - Tonda didn't do much wrong, did he? Lots of moaning on here, quite rightly for the first half performance, but that wasn't all down to him. For example, Jander was bloody great on Saturday but played like he was pissed tonight. Is that Tonda's fault? All the subs had an impact and were made just at the right time. Asking him to take two players off after 20 minutes is ludicrous. the long and shirt of it is he inspired one of the greatest come backs in our history. I'm getting a bit bored of the constant Tonda bashing. Perhaps some on here need to give him some credit when we fucking win - like tonight.
