Probably a bit of both.

It is on the players I think. Ok he may send them out to be more cautious and to conserve some energy in these 3 game weeks but bloody hell they are the ones who shrink into their shells and go back to playing all theur football in our defensive third. I cant believe Tonda is asking them to invite pressure on themselves. I think the injuries at present aren't helping with these changes. If you want to take off Fellows for instance and shore up a flank there currently is no recognised right back available. It will be interesting to see when the injuries clear up if we are able to close out games better. Ok he isnt helping himself bringing on Fraser and Aribo but lets remember that early season Wee-man and Robinson were our best players. You have to give him chance to learn, lets not beat him around the head with this no experience guff everytime we dont put in a perfect performance. We have won 7 out of 8 and probably wouldn't have lost the other if Leo hadn't been ill. Thats fantastic given where and what we were ! Even the greatest managers in history were young and had to learn as they went along ya know !

I’m afraid the constant introduction of Aribo isn’t doing us any favours.

No it’s changing the worst of the three central defenders

I think given his back story with his career from leaving home etc which was written about a few weeks ago the guy is genuinely happy to be here, accepting and giving back the love and probably, football wise if not personally as well, is currently living his best life......and long may it continue.

my thoughts exactly. It's not like we haven't been down this road before.

I have nothing against Leicester now Vardy isn't there so I hope for your sake you dont have to face the RM Bullshit rodeo !

I wonder if there is an attitude problem with him?

As a few people have already stated we are not going up or getting into those play-off positions with a combination of this keeper and Stephens in defence. Admiited they gave up but the only clean sheet in the past 5 games against Leicester had Cap'n Jack sat out the way on the bench. One of them in the team is risky enough, both of the silly buggers together and its an accident not only waiting to happen but one that invaribly will !

Russell Martin currently programming a Leicester post code into his sat nav…….. 😄

If they appoint him they need to bring in a DOF figure who has vast experiece and can help him out, if needed, when we hit a rough patch of results again. And before anyone says it not bloody Redknapp 😂 Appoint Tonda until the end of the season then the risk of having to pay off another manager if it goes tits up is off the table. If he performs and everyone is happy then give him a 2/3 year contract in the summer.

I assume Cap’n Jack has a slight injury does he?

I think you're unsurprisingly (given its you) being a bit hard on him here. Yes he wouldn't be my choice but you can't argue with 3 wins in a row and especially the way they demolished a team away from home in 20 minutes yesterday. That was impressive and as for "it's only Charlton"......you do know Arsenal. Man City and Chelsea aren't in this league right ? It was "only" Blackburn, Hull, Pompey, Preston earlier in the season but yesterday was a million miles from the horlicks those games were. If they get results in the next two matches he will get the job. They've been itching to give it to him anyway. I just hope these players who are currently playing for him remember to carry on doing so when he becomes their full time boss !!

Well I didn’t see that coming ! 🤣 If the players want TE that badly let’s hope they remember that when he’s made permanent!

He rates this lad Bragg doesn’t he?

So if we lose today and fail to win Tuesday what happens then? Do they look elsewhere or stick their fingers in their ears, pretend its all ok and appoint TE anyway ?

If no decision is made by Saturday its quite ironic that the little Welsh genius coach could decide what happens here. If they stuff us then its gonna be hard to give Tonda the job, if we win then it strengthes his case even more !

If we appointed a former Chicago Fire coach this place would go into a bloody huge meltdown.

He would definitely fit the requirement to earn the players respect......just not sure about the rest of it !

Bottom line is the rot started to set in the moment Ms Liebherr sold her controlling interest to Gao. Its been a decline ever since really bar one or two decent moments.

well as far as SR are concerned at this moment it appears not !

It was Alex Crook tbf....... I dont know why some took it as gospel.

Yes I said exactly the same the other day, but apparently it was good for the fans to air their views and discourage the appointment so thats the main thing eh? 🤦‍♂️

Nail on head.

Sorry but anyone who puts Bazunu straight back in cos his distribution is good and reinstates Cap'n Jack at first call isn't the kind of manager I would be advocating.
