I was going to post before the Wrexham game but I didn't want to seem 'negative'

I for one definitely see a contrast between how we played last season and this season and for me that has a lot to do with not having the edge through spying.

Am I saying Tonda is a crap manager, no. Am I saying he isn't this amazing great young coach everyone thought he was, yes. I think I am.

Even when we've won and scored lots this season it hasn't had the same feel as last season. I feel like we're winning the games we win because of our players quality for the division were in, not much else.

Apart from Christmas, which granted for me was integral to what we achieved last season though many won't agree, were largely unchanged.

We had the rare situation where we were able to carry on pretty much where we left off, but for me we haven't.

I don't see us having a bad season but I'm not sure we smash it like we did last season, I think we give around mid and fall short of the playoffs.

For me 100% there were more games Tonda spied on last season and 100% impacted the way we the results and way we played last season and in contrast how were not this season.

PPG is 15% lower before and after spygate but we are also missing Jander, a prolific second striker and the spygate pressure has also had a negative impact. So all things considered a modest change.

If Tonda touchline ban is 6 or less then I reckon we will end up 4th. Our signature championship finish.

Lesleee.
Can you please answer this very sensible question about spying/scouting the opponent.
why is it accepted behaviour in every league in the world except the Championship ?
So if we scouted the opponents 73 hours before a game, you would obviously accept this as being ok ?
It's no different to watching your opponent/opponents in any sport in the world.
but for some reason you are obsessed with the fact that without spying Tonda is a fraction of the manager he is.

No spies were harmed in the making of this comment.
