I will admit, it felt different with a 1-0 lead at the end today. He has great reaction times. And for only being fractionally taller than Baz, he looks like a commanding monster in net by comparison.

And made two absolutely outstanding saves in the last game to earn that clean sheet.

I see they signed Lascelles should be a good signing for them

We've only sold a few hundred tickets for this, looks set to be comfortably our smallest away following for the last few seasons

Leave it Gav - focus on getting back to full fitness and trying to lean how to do saves with Stoke.

Strange game, playing them twice in the space of a few days. Obviously Leicester are without a permanent manager currently and on a poor run of results, but when I look at their starting XI it really isn't that bad. They've had a man sent off in both of their last two games so results a bit distorted playing with 10 men. I fear Tonda tries to counter Leicesters pace and makes changes at the back. Some thoughts from the opposition : https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/138764-southampton-h-tuesday-745pm/#comments

You missed out he also has 3 clean sheets in the last 4 games.

I've always been on Spors' side, but beginning to think he might really know what he's doing...

From 9-0 to our dumping ground. Hopefully Rusty will take over soon and take Gav “if I was looking for a keeper it’d be him” Bazunu off our hands to complete the set. Hopefully our new, immovable defence can repel any attacks they have and our goal machine new striker can continue his record of a goal every 24 minutes to give us a comfortable victory

If only we still had Bazunu 🥺

Do you mean the goalkeeper that fell over the ball last week to nearly give a goal away. Today, early in the game, he passed out to one of their players, who should of scored. He also dawdles on the ball and today was chased down by a forward twice and just about got the ball away. He also kicks the ball into touch a fair bit more than I would have expected when he kicks forward. He doesn't command the box and the only difference I can see is that going to a back four has made the defence more difficult to get through. I am not sure he is the answer going forward as it scares me every time the ball is crossed into the box.

I make it 4th, equal with Cov. I'm pleasantly surprised though and our new back five gives me encouragement that we can have a good end to the season, even if I think we're ultimately too far back to reach the playoffs. https://www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables/competition:championship/daterange/fromdate:2025-Nov-03/todate:2026-Feb-10/type:home-and-away/

I remain to be convinced that he's the right man long term, but you certainly can't argue with the results on the whole. Seems to be shaping the squad to how he wants it and we're now starting to see a settled team. I think he's learning on the job. Worth remembering that we were 21st when Still was sacked.

Next up: 9 nil at home.

He’s not conceded a goal yet for Stoke so must be improving

Some might even say a thunder bastard diving header @Convict Colony ? 😀

Can't argue with the stats!

With all the upheaval in the summer with so many key players sold I thought they’d go down but luckily it’s nothing to do with managers so anyone else would have done the same

The ever reliable AI says he scored after one minute. So that's probably accurate.

Loved that header, proper bullet header, can’t remember a striker of our scoring one like that for ages, reminiscent of some of Lambert’s.

AA who? That was exactly the type of goal we have been missing in our repertoire for several seasons now.

The Moran goal is featured in the MOTD Saints 1960s/70s/80s programme I posted on a prior thread.

Geordies stopped wearing tea towels on their heads for now at least

PIF starting to put the brakes on a bit as well, not just FFP.

Definitely agree with this. Not sure if you noticed how many times he cut in on his first man, which is fair enough, and Stewart, nearly every time, made a smart little run inbetween the cb and full back and not once did he recieve the pass. Instead, as you mentioned, he just ran ran and ran and ended up killing our .momentum.
