Early days, long way to go. We need a good performance and comfortable win tomorrow to set us up for a tough midweek trip to Norwich. A 9 point week would be fantastic with Bolton coming to St Marys next weekend. That would put us in a strong position.

Dunno but they've certainly been brave. Fans won't think so but it's all starting to click. Gotta be patient and trust the process.

Oh dear!

West Ham showing they are not all they are cracked up to be. They looked poor tonight and, considering many feel they'll run away with this league, it just goes to show they are not head and shoulders above the rest and it promises to be a close race among those looking to make the top 2.

I guess my main point is that, unlike you, I don't consider Tonda needs to 'pull his finger out'

Whatever the rights and wrongs (and I agree we broke the rules) there was a distinct shortage of time for the EFL case due to the pending final at Wembley. I'm not sure what could have been done because clearly the final had to go ahead on the scheduled day but this meant the case was rushed through which was not ideal for the prosecution or the defence.

Not sure he's that far behind Russboy who led us to a season total of 87 points. We currently have 10 points which would be 14 without the deduction so if we can win against Pompey that would be 17 points actually won from 9 games. This equates to an average per game of 1.88 which, if maintained, would give us a season end total of 86.88 (less the 4 point deduction of course). Lose or draw to Pompey and I appreciate it's a different equation. However, I'm reasonably confident we will win on Sunday and go on to finish the season with more than 87 points but others will take a different view which is fair enough.

Opinions, other than your own, are available.

Yeah Kim, everyone's entitled to a second chance - unfortunately, you blew yours big time 🙂

I think the guy is a total fraud but I guess if clubs keep employing him and paying him lots of money he will feel vindicated and continue to do what he's doing.

Not sure this is true - didn't the independent panel come to their own conclusion of a fair and just punishment? I don't think they actually reduced the FAs proposed length of ban.

On the interview Jobi Thatsenough did they spoke to a Boro fan who claimed their shit performance at Wembley was down to how emotionally upset Crying Kim was meaning he was unable to motivate the players. Heard it all now - they get a free pass to Wembley and still try to blame us for how crap they played in such a huge game 🙂

Home results are obviously not an issue but Tonda needs to improve the away performances and results. To be fair to him we should have beaten Wrexham but didn't take our chances in the first half, Birmingham draw was a decent result but Watford and Lincoln performances were below par.

He has far too much to say and is particularly vociferous against us. I think maybe he should now be named Jobi Thatsenough.

You'd think, having been in the game, he'd be fully aware this stuff was going on and has always gone on at most other clubs. It's common knowledge within the game so time he stopped denying it.
