Shocking first half.

Kinda average for this season  which is scary

That was so bad by Iversen. So out of position 

I noticed that, their goal went pretty much down the middle

Anyone's stream way behind?

 

Everyone was slagging off Soumare earlier and I hadn't a clue what you were on about 

I must be a solid minute behind on iPlayer

Unpopular opinion but Soumare has been far from our worst player. One complete brain fart when he flicked it on the edge of his own box but don’t think he’s been dreadful.

He's so lackadaisical he can't even be bothered to be dreadful. He might as well not be there. He's passed it behind just about everybody he's tried to pass to and defensively by the time he gets there the play is up the other end.

I know we aren't playing our "strongest" team tonight, (whatever that is, because the squad is full of utter shite)

 

But alarm bells are ringing over relegation.

 

It's not exactly the same situation, but remember the run we went on after Wycombe knocked us out, years ago?

 

There's no spirit, no fight, no togetherness.

 

It's looking bleak.

[whoareyaaa]

We are playing with a back two tonight Thomas and Amatey not good enough

This is the managers system. That system forces players incapable of playing the system to play it. Like Amartey. It doesn’t work. 

We have a winger who was touted to play in the World Cup against world-class defenders and I think he's had 4 runs at Championship-level defenders in this match!! Why are we pushing the ball over to the opposite wing???? Brendan MUST GO!

Red button music is a banger though. And that wavey pattern stuff is much better than watching the game.

Got a nice milky cup of tea with it, and suddenly feeling surprisingly zen.

[Buzzell]

[Sharpe's Fox]

Turned over the channel to watch a team coached by a genuinely world class manager and Manchester City.

Kel for dewsbury, VK for Thomas, Souttar for Amartey

Midfield pair of Soumare and Praet 🤮

[trugerkem]

How do you even begin to pick a worst player 

[DanDare]

9 minutes ago, Dahnsouff said:

So you think Brendan did pick him to do that then?  

It's not the argument he picks him to do that, it's the fact there's so much history of it that it beggars belief you would pick him. 

Everyone on here knew it before it happened. The only person it hasn't registered with is the manager. What the hell does he do to not see it.

It's becoming apparent why Lyon didn't seem fussed about keeping him. Probably grateful to get him off the wage bill. 

Yep, I was thinking the same.

 

Lyon.......

Looking forward to seeing Soumare at CB against Stevenage Borough in League one 25/26 season.

I've seen a bit of Stevenage and they would love it against Soumare and Amartey.  It was 25 mins before I remembered Soumare was playing. That back heel should result in him giving his wages back

Don’t think he was expecting the ball to be given away there, he’s probably thinking about being available for a pass, then doesn’t fix it in time

Well this made me laugh! Thanks for cheering me up at least for a short time 😀

To be fair he probably didn't anticipate Big Dan gifting it to them...

 

 

[majaco]

We are seriously lacking in midfield guile

[eastendfox]

I've seen plenty of cup exits in top flight relegation seasons and they looked like this, a hapless 11 showing no suggestion of ability. Could sub anyone, perhaps Praet apart. Dismal.

Said after that the whole suspicious situation with Soyuncu underpins this. Yes rotation is sometimes necessary, but wtf…

Disagree with this the defence was poor beyond belief. I have seen my 2 cats defend better then this team
