New low for the club today, loosing today to a bike shed outfit like Oxford is a disgrace . Stephans back in the team so not surprised whatsoever, Bellis awful I know he scored but can these 2 just **** off please . Scary, but I think stephans may be the slightly better player .
Surely be more economical sack Jack Stephans than continuing this managerial merry-go-round?
I been against sackings of most of recent coaches ( bar Jones ) but today for me he has to go, this can't happen, think tactics, personnel and substitutions all inept and stinks of inexperience.
The level of the championship is awful and is akin to Sunday league, we should be walking this league imho .

Yes saint miller great block from Bree and there was plenty of body's doing the same though out first half. We defended well very proud of the lads. They did the job and should be praised for it. Hitting post was from a Larin bad touch and the lad should have scored but was poor finish, was fortunate to find himself in the amount of space and should have punished us.
Don't see any good moves or attacks that opened us up? I'm sure if was a normal leauge match our display would have been completely different. It's 2 part fixture! Tonda knows this and by looks of it so do players. Like I said Boros beat performance of the year ( a top 2 side all season ) and they didn't score or look dangerous imo. Credit to Tonda and the lads

I thought we had a decent and largely successful game plan., was nearly perfect. I feel our players were probably gutted after the match to not have gotten the win and Boro glad they didn't loose.
First half Boro went for the early kill, we sat back defended well and nullified their creativity. We didn't press or chase balls, we kept our shape and zonal defending. Sky's commentary was lording Boro as the best performance of the year during first half but I didn't see any decent moves or chances created.
Tondas tactics were spot on imo and realistically should have e won game at the end. Do people think we should be going to riverside and winning easily in such a high pressure atmosphere and match of importance? We lost 4-0 up there not so long ago. It's a 2 leg affair. It's always about the second match. If we had won the game I'm sure none of you would be complaining of the first half display. It was tough first 45 mins for sure but we stood up to them and did what was required, Defence was brave and foucused. Tondas the man, the players love him and I think I do to x

The whole debacle stinks, big stories like this are often a punishment or a distraction. Top teams are guilty of the same charges for decades without ever being exposed or penalised. The richest clubs have help from within the Premier League, FA, UEFA etc to conduct and execute military like operations for even the tiniest of details to gain advantage, a desired outcome for the club, the completion and its sponsors. It's so common and widespread but it's always big news when a team is highlighted or seen tot be made example of.
You know there is something more ro the story when it's a smaller club like Saints ( I think it was Derby or Leeds last time ) and not a Madrid, Barca and United etc.
The big clubs thirst for the smallest advantages and their capabilities to do so far outweighs the likes of Saints.
Just as smaller clubs are hit with penalty points for financial implications and teams like Man City are seemingly exempt from the rules and carry on regardless achieving titles, trophies and plaudits.
Speaking of Man City, has anyone seen a replay of Leo's disallowed offside goal at Wembley? It wasn't shown or spoke of during the match and only shown at halftime with same angle TV viewers had during live match. No slow motion, no different camera angle and certainly no VAR. Complete silence from commentators and pundits ?♂️

45 mins of complete rubbish, lucky it’s 0-0 . Why persist with 3 at back we haven’t got any de ent centre backs let alone 3 . Leo on Ben h Robinson in his place in No-10 role like Leo at Oxford before he took him off he’s a winger! Can’t believe or formation considering our recent signings . We have the squad for a 442 imo! It’s glaringly obvious . In this game we have have manning and stephans down the left flank ( 2 defenders from the worse team in prem history! , nearly ) and fellows practically right back. 433 possible also . Potential to be a good attacking side but all that happens is Square passes in our own half while poor opposition gain confidence. Try positive always! But was in Starbucks before game and the staff were talking about Eastleigh Town fc and mocking me for watching saints tonight . Right now I would sack Tonda swap with Lallana ? serious . Or more economical to sack Jack Stephans maybe, dunno but here’s to Stephans with the winner in 90 mins
