    Spors has admitted he was appointed as a successor, but this is 2/3 years earlier than planned.

    Two things for me;

    We need to have a decision of sorts done before the January window. Players will want to know where they stand

    The longer Tonda is interim and he does ok, the less likely he will want to return to be our u21 manager. He’ll have a taste for it etc

    It would be very saints for him to leave, get the Barnsley job and have an amazing career and we instead appoint Carrick who gets sacked in April

    Yes, that's a large part of my fear again. We're the architects of our own downfall much of the time, but also victims of circumstance brought about by the foolishness.

    He will be begging to go back to the under 21's if we get turned over next game!

    The Charlton game is massive for a couple of reasons.

    Obviously, another 3 points adds more weight to his argument for getting the job longer term. But particularly as no one can argue that this is an easy game. Charlton are in great form and have only lost once at home this season.

    I also think beating Nathan Jones would win him a lot of support amongst Saints fans!

    Got to be honest. It is very boring isn't it?

    I haven't posted for ages, come along every now and then to check out comments, latest news, and nothing much changes.

    They either seem to do it too quickly and get a strange manager or hang on and hang on and get a strange manager.

    Oh well - such is life.

    I don't see any optimism here whatsoever!
    Thanks SR
