Tonda needs to rethink his half time team talk as it definitely isn’t working. I would like to see the team be back on the front foot for at least the first 15 mins of the second half rather than trying to game manage directly from half time. Reports will say that West Brom have a spirited fight back but they weren’t that great and the opportunities were largely due to Saints switching off and being careless in their own half.

That said, what a first half. Fantastic incisive attack play and Armstrong certainly has found his scoring boots again. Just wish we could see some of that in the second half.

An unnecessarily nervous finish.When needed the crowd were brilliant and as noisy as I've heard since we played WBA in the play offs

Classic game of 2 halves.
Why we sat back and invited pressure AGAIN in the 2nd half, is beyond me.
We never learn and nearly came unstuck like at Millwall.
We got lucky again, just like v Birmingham.

We have 3 big CBs who can't win a header, especially from corners and a keeper who doesn't come off his line and command his 6 yard box, let alone his 18 yard box.

Anyway, a win is a win and I would have taken it before KO, so let's take the 3 points and move on.
