We also need an extra step on each play: Get on top of the ball when we shoot from distance, and challenge everything at the top of the box (on defense and offense)!

Possibly the worst first half of the season, second much better but overall probably a touch fortunate to get a point. Strange that almost the same team that played vs Leicester is capable of producing such a poor performance.

Will Still said in one of his last press conferences, two things:
1. Turning the club round was a big job, and would take time; and
2. Every time Saints made a mistake, the opposition scored.
In the first few games under Tonda we were definitely lucky the opposition didn't take their chances. I think we need to spend a couple of seasons in the Championship and re-build slowly and improve incrementally - we know that most of our players are not Premier League standard.
I wish everyone a very happy and prosperous New Year.

If freeing up the players to do what they naturally do got us five wins a month ago, we need to follow up by restoring a more familiar formation as well. Ditch the 3-4-3 (at least for the time being) and return to the 4-4-2 please.

How come other teams with, on paper, inferior squads can shoot accurately from outside of the box and all our attempts at a long shot are laughably poor and liable to bounce off of the nearest satellite or they resemble a back pass to the goalie?

Also if we carry on with this tippy-tappy bullshit we'll struggle to win another game. Fact.

Disappointing as this was supposedly the A team in the A formation.

Tonda needs to change things up.

Thankfully we're not going up this season otherwise we'd break Derby's (or wolves) record. I thought the issues were just at the back without lacking a CB with heading ability and a keeper that can position himself to save shots across the body. Need to add a strong ball keeping midfielder and a CF.

No doubt any players coming in will be wingers

Sadly, all those things that made us a decisive winning team a few games ago seem to have been lost in a torridcocktail of time consuming tip tap football and tediously slow build up that must make RM very happy. That plus some very poor performances with yet again a very poor coversion rate of opportunities into goals leads to mid table at best!!

IMO that was Eckert's worst game in charge. Scienza best player, then subbed, Fellows then best player, subbed, Azaz finally woke up and started playing, subbed, then Archer comes on, was like Tonda was trying not to win this one.

Why did he sub off the two best forward thinking players Leo and Tom
Why has Leo stopped trying to beating players and favouring a pass instead
The game plan,was not positive enough from the start We were content with possession with no end product

Do defenders get coached how to header nowadays? The science and the Jeff Astle case aside heading a much lighter ball shouldn't stop coaches drilling CBS in the essential art of heading

Not disappointed with a point - can’t remember the last time we didn’t lose a game when we were playing against 10 men.

Both teams boring 1st half - good luck to Cov if they get promoted, they will need it if Lampard is still their boss….

Their keeper was good and they defended well but we were a bit unlucky not to win. Lampard at the end was a disgrace.

A couple of first half opportunities not taken I think we defended quite well against the divisions top team Manning made multiple mistakes leading to their goal and generally had a bad
They probably won the first half but in the second half ther keeper had to work hard to stop us getting the winner
Lampard should be sanctioned for his after match behaviour. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen Yes give a bit back to the fans but starting a mass ruck was not on

Fought to absorb pressure throughout, didn't take first half chances, gifted lifelines in the sending off and the equalizer, seemed to run out of gas in final stages. But it's the kind of competition we need to get used if we're to head up the table.
