Think we really need this guy to stick around and finally get stability on that front . Him being here next season could also be a massive factor with tonda too imo , you coukd argue tonda kinda owes him after the faith spors showed in him

1-1 We will pretty lethargic, they will set up for a point.

Considering the quality of the opposition ..and even the cost of their starting side, I thought we played a v. good game. After the first 10 minutes of all-out defending, I considered that - had it been a Championship (VAR -free game) - Leo Scienza's " goal " might even have been allowed. It was hard to pick out our MoM (although Casper Jander was outstanding in his own right), and even Cam Bragg (as Downes' replacement) fitted in seamlessly. We held them to 0-0 for 80 minutes and then took the lead with (my) goal of the game. Azaz hitting the ball on the turn after a great pass from Matsuki. Matsuki had a great impact in just 20 minutes on the pitch. Aside from the Azaz assist, he might have scored a second, (but for the goalie's push over the bar), and then he made a goal-line clearance after Peretz was marooned up field. THB and Wood also looked a great partnership in the back line. City's two goals were both a bit flukey in their own way. Docu's deflecting off Bree's leg on the way in, and Gonzalaz may get goal of the season for his unstoppable strike, which even two keepers wouldn't have kept out. Quite the best Saints' performance I've seen in a long while, and much for them to be proud of. Even City's " big guns " made little impact after Pep G. was forced to put them on - in desperation - near the end.

It was a huge ask to put him straight back in for such an intense game but he was class. He was rightly keeping Manning out of the side before he got injured, and having the competition seems to have woken Manning up a bit as he was an absolute liability defensively in the first half of the season. Welington has a far higher ceiling of the 2 if he can stay fit

We've got this chaps. Tonda's Terminators 3 Tractor Twats 0. Then blitzkrieg ensures at DePreston.

Looks like Ipswich will make a few changes too according to the Echo, Leif Davis looks like hes not fit, Mckenna moaning they're tired.

Like I say, I've seen 25/1 for us to finish second and that requires two Saints wins and draw/away win in the other two games. Plus us outscoring Boro.

We’re not talking about away wins in the Ipswich and Millwall games though, we’re talking away win/draw which is far shorter odds. Somewhere between 2/1 and 3/1 in those games. Draws are good enough for us if we win our 2 games

That’s ignoring the fact that still it’s in their hands even if we beat them tomorrow so why would they stop trying because we’re winning All they have to do is beat QPR and they’re up.

Great idea Sue! I'll do it, i'll bring a wireless along, spread the rumour and get all the Ipswich fans cheering just like the old days. I mean, it's not like Smartphones with instant access to live scores are a thing in Suffolk.

it’ll be much higher than that. Millwall draw is 4/1 and Oxford win is 7/1. Saints are 11/10 to beat Ipswich. Saints to win both games and both of them to lose on Saturday is probably closer to 200/1.

God how sweet would that be - to get them in the playoffs and smash them at Pride Park in revenge for 2007.

Couple of sites I've checked aren't offering odds on our game saturday but have seen 25/1 for us to finish second which is essentially the same thing.

Hope so - they were rubbish on Sat. Think they hit the target 3 times and all went in, while Derbys keeper had a blinder. If we don't make auto's then would want to play them.

He's a proper old school left back. He's not as good going forward as Manning, but he's a far better defender.

Looked to have walked into training with the others today so fingers crossed.

I reckon it’ll be about 40/1 with a bit of guess work. Saints 6/5 tomorrow Saints will be less than evens on Saturday Millwall and Ipswich will be similar odds to fail to win on Saturday, will be somewhere around 2/1, maybe slightly longer

That’s really nice tried it a few months ago. Most of the stuff ive had from there on the rare occasion I go to one has been average at best but you could say they same for lots of chain pubs and restaurants who charge at least double

Nor do they

Apparently the German chancellor has recently commented re: the negotiations To paraphrase 'he doesn't know what the Americans are doing and the Iranians are playing a blinder'

Agreed, that was excellent. Some commentators have far too much to say for themselves, looking at you Peter Drury.

If there is any possibility of us going up and Ipswich not, then we need to give this song a rendition https://x.com/Detective82/status/2048738427232022864/video/1?s=46

Nah, gotta be Bragg and Jander for me.

Just watched manager cam with Tonda and Pep in technical areas. Very good.

Ah! OK So, Bragg & Charles in midfield, which is fair enough as Charles is better as an AMF, knows where the goal is and is less error prone in that position ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- saintant: Nah, gotta be Bragg and Jander for me. Reply: Ordinarily I would agree with you, Jander is by far the better player but sutrely he must be knackered after his heroics on Saturday? Charles will be lot fresher
