    Think you might be right actually, and his third championship one in the 5-0 v Swansea?

    No idea. I remember we played Watford twice in the FA cup, so probably scored in one of them.

    Was that the year we played Walsall as well thinking about it? Could easily have got 3 across those games.

    He got a banger against Man City in a cup game if I recall correctly and on his debut or around his debut he played one of the best passes I’ve seen for a KWP goal
    Getting a bit teary eyed about him now <laugh>

    Yeah the City goal is the one I'll always remember. When Nathan Jones helped stop the quadruple.

    Can’t remember that one. Just Watford and then losing to Liverpool.

    Actually yeah we beat someone crap in the 3rd round, Fraser scored one or two. Maybe that was Walsall

    If we had a preferred candidate you’d have thought that we’d have appointed them by now. It’s also incredibly quiet, there’s been no leaks at all other than incorrect ones like O’Neil.

    So at this stage it does feel like Tonda will get the next couple and then we’ll appoint someone, as others have said. I’m not sure SR will give it to him permanently, but you never know with them.

    I bet SR want to give it to Tonda because he'll be cheap and it's a classic SR 'clever' appointment. They're just scared of what happened with Selles. Probably trying to get him to sign up to a rolling contract or something so that they don't have to pay him off in a month when it turns out we only won these last two games because the opposition were poor and not because he's a managerial genius. Then they can move him on without having to count towards their long list of managerial hirings and sackings. He was only ever interim boss, honest.

    Not that I'm sceptical about SR or anything...

    Not necessarily. And I don't think O'Neill was incorrect, I think there was genuine interest there to begin with. I just think they are taking their time which is the right way to go.
