Really like Tonda, and I'm looking forward to this relationship blossoming over the coming seasons. But. Does anyone else remember mid Dec- mid Jan. There was some absolutely crap performances and results over that time. Weird how he took over and immediately won five out of six, then descended into this dreadful run. Changing to a back four and employing a goalkeeper was crucial. But this season seems to be made up of four stages. 1 Will Still 2 Temp 3 Honeymoon 4 Perertz Hoping part five is just a continuation of four.

Downes, Jander, Bragg, Charles Downes is a player we should try and keep at all cost. Jander and Charles have re-sale value because of the age or short length of contract remaining. Bragg I think has done very well and been quietly efficient since coming in, and isn’t afraid to put a leg in. Charles has looked very casual and if it wasn’t for his two excellent goals I don’t think he’d be talked about in the way some currently are. I’ll be surprised if he is still here come the end of the summer, can see him ending up at somewhere like Forest or Everton, back up north.

I’m not sure I could even name a manager/head coach that has done better - certainly not a Saints one.

Just trying to gauge your version of ok/decent can you order our MF’s from best to worst?

Currently being dragged around Florida (Disney) by wifey, fortunately she’s suggested a pool morning tomorrow, will be looking for a stream at 7:30am 😇 Magical stuff!

I would fully expect us to ask for a decent fee, but I think that’ll come down significantly. I say that as a Jander fan, I think he’s been decent, but if we’re in the Championship and say he wants to leave, then we’ll probably take a slightly reduced fee to move him on.

Now there’s a man advising from experience 😉

I suspect it won't have harmed our stance on asking for a decent fee, for his performance against Citeh and the last few games.....i'm not for one minute saying that clubs only look at a few tv games before signing a player (although it looks like we have from time to time) but he stepped up against a decent Citeh side, so can make that next step it would seem.

Thanks

But why sell him for less... that's surely the crux of it. We'll have a circa £10-15M drop in revenue from this season to next season. That's not earth shattering. Its 10% of the prem's equal share broadcasting revenue, not the 45% we dropped this season, and not the 45% we'll drop next season. Jander is young, one of our best players, and looks to have a very high ceiling. This season coming will be our last real chance to get promoted (if we fail this year)... The time to flog our best players will be summer 2027, not summer 2026.

Injured. Apparently has been for a while but today, although named in the side, couldn't play.

OK fcuk u lot. I'm gonna pin it on my fridge as memorabilia.

Has Dawson been dropped or injured? I know he hasn't started the season that well, but big call if he has been dropped.

Jander has been ok, his recent performances good, but let’s not gloss over the fact that he’s had a very mediocre season in terms of stats. He’s been good, but to say he’s been £30M good in the Championship is quite funny.

This is poor from Hants.

....

I dont think its a tricky question, and the answer is No, it wouldn't/shouldn't be seen as failure (despite any disappointment). He can only make a difference in the part of the season he has managed, and we've scored more than anyone else and have more points than anyone else, and had a cup run to the semi-final (beating 2 Prem teams along the way... and nearly a 3rd). So his achievement has been incredible, whether we lose out in the lottery of the playoffs or not. To even get us to the Playoffs was unthinkable when he took over the sinking ship.

I doubt that Brown decides all by himself. Theory seems to be that with a bit more grass left on the strip our bowlers should take davantage. Carberry says that the bowling is too inconsistant to trouble Glamorgan overmuch. Still they got Tribe,out from a silly swish.

Remember: make sure she lubes your arsehole up first and gives you something to bite down on

What did you do to upset them?

Yeah probably wrong word but I know what I meant

Takes away the joy of announcing it’s a boy without a winkle

Another fantastic bit of captancy by Ben Brown. The pitch looks a belter to bat on, especially in these conditions.

Thanks - they still haven’t arrived so I’m about to phone Ticket Office again.

No it’s not. We’ll probably be the 3rd or 4th biggest club in the league, have spent the vast majority of the past 50 years in the top flight and will still have parachute payments. It’ll actually pretty hard not to make the play offs. We will be one of the Favourites, no ficking bother.
