I like this summary. Made me realise just how effective his departures have been. As I see it, the big change has come when the club realised it needed a proper goalkeeper and it needed a solid centre forward. If Spors is the person who realised this and understood he'd dropped a clanger with Downs and directed the change, then good on him. I was at Tonda's first game in charge at Loftus Road when the players went around congratulating each other almost in disbelief that they'd held on for a win. Now you see a winning team oozing confidence. Maybe Spors had already given us many of the players; it just needed a manager to bring the best out them.

That's one hell of a tilt on that table.

That's how Steve Davis described the longest frame of snooker in Crucible history this afternoon... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/articles/cn5pw431zk1o I can see why Allen didn't want a re-rack, because of the points advantage he had, but he'll be fuming to end up losing it.

Depends on how old you are, I suppose.

Wait till Peretz plays them, their XG stats will be in the negative.

"Wanna hear a joke about Russia`s Victory Day Parade?" - "No Tanks!"

Tonda will do his usual and rotate 3-4 players. The problem is that with injuries and suspensions he has fewer players available to him.

Baz has to be. Big game player just look what he’s done at INTERNATIONAL level

It's Dexter Blackstock. Not even close...

Yeah, I agree. Rest Scienza and Azaz. Bench Larin. Don't think we can rest THB with Jack missing. But we are in a privileged spot compared to the rest of them. It will be interesting seeing how the rest do in their games.

A dismal day for Hants.

The rest of the possible playoff teams all need to field their strongest teams tomorrow. I'd take the advantage of having a rested first team over a home/away order preference vs boro. Team have been flat out for the past month. Need fresh legs for the playoffs.

Yes, at the time it was crap and he got slated. Me being one to slate him. Which he rectified. However over 32 league games, Saints have won 19, drawn 8 and lost 5. Pretty decent going. If Saints dont go up, we'll lose at least 3 to 4 players. I hope he stays and gives it another go.

It must be that time soon to announce prices for next seasons tickets. Wonder if club will set a price again irrespective of which leaque we are in. Did the prices and sales start on 2nd play off last time?

If it means winning and getting a home 2nd player off tie then it needs a decent or half decent team.

You know your on trouble when you have to start bowling Organ. Been pretty ineffective, but could say that for all the bowlers really bar Abbott and Baker.

A Utilita shirtfront. Important thing is beat the follow on when we bat and take our time. No T20 crap. On this surface, we should be expecting a couple of hundreds and at least two 50s from the top six, in additions to contributions further down. That needs to be set as a minimum standard in the dressing room as their attack isn’t especially potent. I’d seriously question if any of the top 6 have a future at the club if that can’t be done. Lehmann has had to go home so he can’t prop them up this time. Ben Brown is a shit captain though. Needs another ton to stay in the team and I hope Russell Domingo tells him that.

Sheff Weds takeover finally completed... https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/sheffield-wednesday-takeover-done-8477835

So by your yard stick Jander is second to Downs but is just ok/decent? What are Bragg and Charles then - worse than ok/decent?

Are we counting 50 years ago as "modern"?

The coaching staff will be buzzing. Someone else to hand the bibs and drinks out.

What relevance is there to it being in the Echo when they are using direct quotes from the press conference?

Returning players at this point in the season can not be registered to play in the playoffs.

Some things unfortunately are beyond miracles, I think this is one 😂 It’s like waiting for Moussa Djenepo to become the next Sadio Mané.
