    Tonda is a name with multiple origins and meanings depending on the cultural context. In some Slavic languages, Tonda is a diminutive of Anton or Antonina, which are derived from the Roman family name Antonius, meaning "priceless" or "of inestimable worth."

    I hope that the Charlton and Leicester performances are more typical than the other 3 but I wish him all the best and hope that the squad all play for him.

    I have to say that I feel it is still a big risk to have someone basically learning on the job.

    Sensible decision with both the performances and results. Also means if things don't work out we can re-assess (again) next summer.

    Once again the cheap left field option by SR. Absolutely ridiculous to think that he can achieve promotion. Did they run it past Captain Jack first?

    Another season written off in December
