Are we criticising Tonda for managing players minutes who have had a long injury record or lay off in what is a 3 game week now ? Poor bugger is on a hiding to nothing.

At the time I thought Jander was seen as possibly offering more going forward. Bragg in his limited time on the pitch though slotted in well and was impressed given his age.

What would your view of the manager have been if Charles had pulled up again as he did at Blackburn and out for another two months ?

Regardless of Hollywood if they do back to back promotions with Phil Parkinson from non-league to the Premier League then that would deserve a full length movie being made about them, remarkable. As we've more than proved money alone isn't sufficient for success, need to invest wisely in the right players and have the right people in place to do that

First one was about fifteen seconds in! Immediately after we scored the crowd lifted, but not an OWTS but the Nathan Jones song …. Terrace muppetry at its finest. In fairness to Jones when he did come on the pitch at the end I saw him being very sportsmanlike to our players, without any gestures to the crowd. So who’s the biggest knobhead out there Jones or Lampard ?

Most definitely.

Why do so many tv producers think that when watching sport we want close ups of people in the crowd or backroom staff picking their noses? I want to see what is happening on the pitch. Saints TV is pretty bad at missing the action and instead showing replays / crowd shots / managers on the touchline (Leicester nearly scored last week when we were being shown a replay) but Sky's coverage of cricket this morning has been dreadful. Fruity birds jigging up and down waving Sri Lanka flags or 5 year old girls making heart shapes with their hands may appeal to some but why not just show the action on the pitch?

Like I was going to let facts get in the way of an early morning gag. 🙂

He’s been out for a while as well, so I imagine with it being a 3 game week they wanted to protect him a bit. Personally, I had no problem with that but maybe he should have replaced him with Bragg rather than Jander.

Do you have a date for the realignment camp? It’s a long road back, I’m not actually sure it can be done. You’ve crossed so many lines man, I’m not sure I can share a forum with you anymore. I think it would be better for all of you were de pkatformed.

Sometimes it seems people are watching different games. Thought Charles quality shone through in the first half, less involved in the second, although was a bit surprised he went off. At the time I wondered if the thought was Jander is more creative going forward, although a couple of people thought he’d slowed down after taking a knock which might explain him going off. As for being “ruthless” this might cut the other way, leave him on and see him pull up as he did at Blackburn and out again for another two months.

Not quite the same thing. In this case the name was permanently displayed just to the right of the scores.

there seemed to be a skirmish between a few players. Most separated but from where I was - opposite end of the ground - Downes appeared to lean his head in towards the Charlton bloke. Not a close up view by any means but I was half expecting a red card to come out for him( possibly a Charlton player as well)

SR will spend big and they have done that in past which is a big credit to them. Its just they don't get the players at correct level bd that Premier League or Championship as they don't have any football knowledge in my opinion. If SR invested in copper, concrete or wind turbines then Saints would be promoted as a wind turbine up front would knock a few goals in.

I'm not sure that's true. We're on course to get 69 points - Tonda is on 1.75 points per game.

Something really seemed to rattle him, no idea what

Saints are too inconsistent to leap frog above all teams and match Wrexham. Maybe 13 or 15 more points which won't be enough with 62 points. The way I look at it is we were definitely without doubt the worst team in championship play utterly clueless football and now improved to a 8th or 7th team. We don't have enough creative players, goal scorers or defence to win enough games. Fitness is also a major issues but that's also due to the slow possession based football that's now a major tactic.

I don't think you can blame SR for buying Fellows. One of the best players in the league last season. For one reason or another he obviously hasn't hit those heights here yet.

Yeah I get the Stewart one completely and we've got a decent enough back up for him now so no problem there. Was more thinking of the Charles change as that sub really seemed to affect us.

The internet is not a healthy place for you. See what you can find out about JFK and Elvis

Buying promotion and titles is tge name of the game these days. Saints have wasted astronomical amounts which others teams can only dream about. Saints are the reverse of Wrexham how to spend big and get no where recently.

While Fellows was disappointing he did supply a really good cross to Scienza for the shot blocked on the line early in the game. What happened with the Downes scuffle where he got a yellow card? I didn't really have a clear view.

Gone back to keep ball 2nd half. I cant understand how we can play like 2nd half v Leicester by keeping the attacks going to score then a completely flat performance v Charlton. Maybe as I suspect Charlton was a lets at least get a draw as be cant get through low block 9 at the back teams and hope we get 3 points v qpr and wendesday

He’d be losing his shit if it was anyone from the Christian church

His head is all over the place given he is likely fasting in solidarity with his barber
