Remind me who scored our first goal in the away game?

Who did a brilliant goal line clearance last weekend?

Whose free kick created the winner?

Hello Mrs Manning.

Had a good game for the reserves against Leicester reserves. The sooner Weli is back the better.

Manning is a decent option to throw on if you need a late goal, or you’re going to be camped in the opposition half and he’s got no defending to do. When he has got defending to do, we concede too many goals.

He started his career as a winger. I'd imagine the reason he turned into a full back was due to a lack of pace. So whilst he's decent with the ball going forward, you're right. He has no idea how to defend.

We can probably get away with it against the likes of Charlton etc but he makes way too many defensive errors against any half decent side.

Maybe watch the way he acts on the touch line and in conversations in media?

He should never have been appointed that’s on SR.

A manager with an ego who talks himself up and backs his team; not sure he’s the only one. We all agree it was a bad appointment but I don’t get the vitriol. Move on mate.

If Derby, Wrexham and Bristol City lose tomorrow and Birmingham do not win by a bigger margin than us, we will be in the playoff places… madness!

Looks a good crowd and should be a decent atmosphere.

Can we ffs though leave that tedious cheer up Nathan Jones song. The only downside to our tremendous win up there was hearing that on repeat. The skates wore out in the week as well in their own tin pot, special way. 

Less focus on him and all about us and getting the three points. 

Completely agree, Jones was headhunted by Saints and we paid Luton a fortune to get him, he was the wrong appointment but the criticism for that is with Rasmus not Nathan Jones himself

Looks like there are about 1500 tickets available so should be near 30k crowd. Charlton haven't sold the full 3000 though.

Yeah probably 29k. Charlton have sold roughly 2,750 so not a bad following from them , they'll have to navigate the bus replacement services from Eastleigh as well

Interesting that Tonda mentioned that Jelert can play at left back unprompted in his press conference. Wonder if we’ll see him there today.

My respect for Tonda will rise if he plays Jelert at LB instead of Manning.   Who is going to partner THB if Stephen’s is out?    I don’t rate Wood;  Quarshie?

The criticism of Jones is about him being a twitchy mentalist.

You can't go around making claims about being the fittest man in the world and the best manager statistically and say bizarre things about staying in Wales with a girl from the valley and not expect a bit of criticism.

The man is a walking box of frogs.

I’m glad he’s not our manager, but I think Jones is great in this regard, the more characters in football the better.

I don't disagree, watching his presser yesterday was comedy gold, but like you very glad he's not out manager.

That didn't go down well here in south Wales, we'd just moved here then and some ridicule down the local pub was endured.
