We'd be sat 4th without the points deduction and everyone would be delighted. Over a season of 46 games those 4 points get diluted but over an 8 game run they really hurt us. Today was a bad result but overall we are playing up to standard and I'm confident Tonda will turn the away form around.

Arsenal and Chelsea both goth thumped 3-0 by teams they wouldn't expect to lose to. They'll both bounce back as will we. Yes, our away form is nowhere near good enough and Tonda needs to find a way to improve us on the road. If we take our chances first half we win comfortably today. It wasn't all bad.

It's 4 games not 24.

I doubt that's true.

Bad day at the office. Shit happens. Won't be our last defeat.

Too early to say that. Every team has set backs.

Away form must be sorted. That's 2 points from 12. Not good enough.

Wilcox continues to make a difference 🙂

I'm hoping and suspect lessons have been learned. I don't see Dragan rolling over if the FA decide to play hard ball on this.

Not for me. We finally need to see some common sense and closure here so perhaps a ban for a low number of matches suspended for 2 years. Tonda, the football club, its owners and fans have already been severely punished. To now hand out a harsh ban to our manager would be unjustified and vindictive. We should not be made an example of particularly when you bear in mind what the elite clubs continually get away with. The FA must not turn this into a witch hunt just to satisfy journalists and pundits who are just waiting to make it another big story. Plus it will blow up massively because Southampton FC's lawyers will not take it lying down.

Larin just said to him, 'Can you believe some Boro fans think Lankshear is as good as me boss'

Boro are nothing special. A weakened Millwall almost came away with 3 points.

Fine with that. Just so long as he has no hands-on involvement with our club.

Wow! Didn't see that coming. He will not be missed imo.

Why should Tonda get north of 8 games? We play around 60 games in a calendar year - as you say, an international women's team plays 8-12.
