Luck

Which bit is wrong? Personally, I disagree with the statement that Tonda won’t be our manager next year. I also think we might just scrape the playoffs. Other than that, not sure what is objectionable.

Draw I think, and going to Brum who are good at home. It might be a Christmas period of very low joy!

As much as I’m not always a fan of Alex’s opinions I think that’s a pretty fair and accurate summary above. Our tactics is pass sideways, across the back, hope that Harwood-Bellis can play a low whipped ball to the CM who can then play it off wide, who can then play it down the centre. It’s too easy. Yes he’s done ok and we’ve picked up points, but it was a low bar after Will Still. There is no excuse for not being top two with the squad we have, and that’s the biggest frustration. We sacrifice an additional attacking player in either midfield or up front for the sake of one additional five yard pass across the defence or between the goalkeeper and defence; it can’t be surprising that we get to the opposition penalty area and there is no other Saints player there? I think Saints will be looking for a new manager next season. We were rock bottom last season and persisted with a back five. Talk about going down with no fight whatsoever. We’re now in a league we should dominate and our tactics are to defend first, which we can’t, and attack second. It’s incredibly naive, and IF it’s a Sport Republic thing of playing a back five then they should hang their heads in shame. I’m not against Tonda Eckhart after our upturn in form, but if he is serious he has to try something new and have a plan B.

The money from his sale means we are stronger for having lost him. He made his choice.

You are a barrel of laughs aren't you.

I think Tonda is (so far) a naive 1 trick pony, and our good run was the result of a new manager bounce (that we finally got to see). He seems to have 1 way of playing, which is pass it about at the back, get the opposition to press us and let THB start an attack...that and/or hope for Leo sprinkle some stardust. Trouble is, teams are now closing midfield (why wouldn't they)...and we are still trying to do the same thing. We of course will win games, but we do have better players than nearly all of the league. But as a style/approach. We wont go up, and probably wont make the top 6. IMO, Sports Republic will be looking for yet another manager in the summer

Where is he? Hasn’t been since since the story about him leaving the scene of a car accident. Is he done, is he off? It’s been a nightmare for him and us.

I’m assuming you’re in agreement? (Sorry I can’t be bothered to scroll up tons of comments) 😂 But football is pretty basic and tactics can be simple, and we pointlessly try to be too clever and edgy for our own good.

I refer to the below.

All about the payday. No sympathy for him. Should’ve learned from his first move (Chelsea).

1-1 draw. Oxford aren’t that great, and neither are we.

Expecting: Bazunu to sign a new contract. Stewart to sign a new contract. Charles to not sign a new contract. Maybe one loan signing in January. Maybe a couple of new loans out. Bree loan to be extended at Charlton until the end of the season.

Chapeau. Your Soggy bullshit bingo has been absolutely on point today 👍

He made his choice. For once a great piece of business getting the money we did….

Just listened to TSP, having not been at the game I wasn’t aware of a lot of what was happening yesterday: - Jander taking goal kicks, making our even more non-existent midfield even more non-existent. - Three CBs still at ninety minutes when chasing the win (allegedly) when the opposition have ten men. - Bazunu being sent up front for a corner with five minutes left. - Welington playing at RB, thus changing the balance/organisation of play. - No change in formation or tactics to try and win the game. I completely get everyone would’ve taken a point against Coventry pre-match, but surely with an entire half against ten men you go for it? He think tactically he is very naive. We really need to learn how to play with four defenders and not pass sideways.

Club hoping to get a record crowd in for the South Coast Derby vs Pompey on 10th Jan, but for some reason have moved it to be on same day as Doncaster away which immediately rules out some fans who will be at that https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/keep-hampshire-red-against-portsmouth-women-in-january

He would obviously be in the azaz role on the right wing, not at rwb

Of course, nobody knows if he would have scored goals for Saints in the Championship. However I think he was a safer bet than Damian Downs. A lot cheaper as well. Anyway good to see him playing and scoring.

Lucky we have Farage so we can still get them.

Bear in mind that Charlie Kelman scored 21 goals for Orient last season and has managed two for Charlton in the Championship this year

Yep, recovered on our time, scored goals for fun in the under 21s, sold to Orient ..... 10 goals in 15 matches. Wished we'd loaned him.

That sausage looks like one the EU wanted banning for not being straight enough

Scaramucci said even when they told Trump something and the figure was 85% he deliberately changed it to 96% in a speech. When they asked him why he changed the number to 96 he said it sounded better. Staggering how many want to trust this nutter.
