I can see loads of top teams saying to themselves. “Let’s get the guy in who was directly responsible for Southampton being kicked out of the play offs , who then failed to get them up the following season, that’s exactly what we need”. If the likes of QPR or Swansea finish above us, why would they bother with those chumps, when they can get Tonda….A bloke who nearly took a club with parachute payments and top championship players up, will be in demand.

He’s very selective who he asks the “hard questions” to. The toughest question he asked Ralph was “how are you”. He waffles too much, all his questions start with a load of waffle which he manages to insert his opinion into

Let’s hope so, because it’s not been good enough so far. I thought he was lucky to come out second half on Weds, but he upped the performance level from pony to OK. One clearance off the line and a couple of turns doesn’t alter the fact he’s been a massive let down……so far.

Fuck off will he. The only players who get stick are the ones we didn’t want to leave. Seeing him in another teams shirt will bring great joy all over the stadium , no bitterness at all.

“Bandwagon of hatred”, some people need to man up. If Blackmore can’t stand the heat he needs to get out of the kitchen, god knows what he’d be like if he faced real hatred. He’s a cockwomble, An Alan Partridge tribute act, but I doubt anybody hates the chump.

Why do people have to exaggerate and make up ridiculous scenarios which are never going to happen…….Baz keeping a clean sheet, 😂😂

Octopus is great for that. Bit more expensive during day, but cheap as anything overnight. If you’re on your own and can control your usage I’d look at the Octopus prime outgoing. They will pay you more to export during prime periods. They did have octopus Flux which paid 29p a KWh to export in evening, but they’ve pulled it. You could export from your battery at 29p, then top it back up over night for 6p.

I don’t want to appear all Ed Milliband like, but fuck me Solar panels “appear” to be a decent option if you’re heavy electric user. We spent about £60 a week this time of year, have had Panels & Battery storage for a month, and the average is now £20 a week, and we’ve even had an £11 week. That’s without having an export tariff yet . Get on a cheap overnight tariff and you can charge the battery up, so even if there’s not going to be any sun the following day, so you’re getting 7p rate for all your peak time electric on cloudy days. We got a local mush round, who designed it all for solar the whole day (some on front, side & back of house), rather than national installers who do it all remotely and just put a block of them on one pitch. Of course the initial out lay is a lot, 15k in our case (but no VAT at moment), but I’d seriously consider if you’re going to be staying put for a while, and use a lot of electric. We’ve done it to ensure we can afford the bills when we’re retired, after a month it’s looking like a decent investment.

If Baz is at his best, it’ll be tough to get more than 4 or 5 past him. With JWP & Manning on corner duty, we should be able to really put him under pressure & expose his Warwick Davies like jumping ability. That and a few hit slightly off centre to the left of him, his continued bad luck, and his record at SMS, I’m going for a 7-2

Defensively he was dodgy yesterday. But towards the end of the first half he looked ok going forward. Quite convenient for Tonda that Manning was also booked. Taking both full backs on a yellow off isn’t quite the confidence hit being hooked at HT on your debut is. The reality is he should probably have been replaced anyway, regardless whether on a yellow or not. No harm done, and hopefully he’ll learn from the experience…..

The league is so much tougher this season. Without rehashing previous arguments around the punishment, it was a set of favourable circumstances we’re not going to face again. We were bang on form, the sides in and around the play off’s were fucking pony. Middlesbrough have a striker now, Wolves, West Ham, the extended play offs bring the likes of Burnley into it after a terrible start. We won’t get an easier set of play off’s opponents this season, that’s for sure. As for the game. The type of away result you need a dozen or so times to get up. We can out score sides at home, but away you need clean sheets for the days it doesn’t quite click. For a bloke with 6 months left on his contract Tonda has some confidence doesn’t he. 2 line ups which on paper look weird, two 1-0 wins. Chucking Abbott in could easily have back fired (poor defending, but decent going the other way) & Dobbin didn’t look completely hopeless second half. I don’t care that he made the goal, but Edozy is still weak & pony. That maybe one for the positive side of the ledger, but I’ve no doubt there will be more on the negative one, come May. Jack & The German looked solid again, but we know Jack, a poor performance is around the corner. I guess the key is to anticipate it and leave him out before, rather than after. Although they didn’t do too much, I liked the idea of the two strikers second half, took the pressure off us a bit, rather than the ball keep coming back as in previous away games. Keeper looks back to his best again, and Jander excellent for being out so long. We need to cut out these unnecessary bookings as well, from Larin waving his yellow cards, to Manning & Azaz kicking people when they’re going nowhere. And get on with the fucking throw ins as well, we had two reversed yesterday because we were dithering. All in all a satisfactory week, just need to make sure we don’t ruin that good work with a poor result Saturday. Normally I’m worried when a player returned, worried he play well, score, or put in a performance missing from his spell with us. But it’s Baz, even if he puts in the best performance he’s capable of well, we’ll still stick 3 or 4 past him.

“Sideways & backwards everywhere we go” 😂😂

FT 😂😂😂

The standard sanction is 3-0, but you are agreeing with the EFL panel that a sporting sanction was appropriate.
