Regardless of who's fault it was that they got the shot of, or if it was offside - Paston HAS to do better. So slow to get down to that one.

Someone remind Paston that "outfield player" doesn't include him and he still has to save goals.

To be honest, really honest, I haven't yet been reminded in this match of the 1974 World Cup Holland team.

If Moss was fit I would definitely be advocating him starting (not that Paston is solely at fault for the disgraceful defending in front of him).

 6-1 they beat us in Season 2 - our worst ever loss. Buckle up tight guys, this could get real ugly.

Even our make shift RB Leo Bertos is way better than Lockhead, non of the goals today (or even this whole season) was conceded from the right hand side...

Steady on he took a knock and has not looked himself at all. The defense needs to put their hands up as well. Also Morgan has well and truely messed with their heads seemingly also.

Plusses Manny ok and Ifill looking like he's getting some of his sparkle back.

Lochead should have done better. So should have Paston. We need a LB to start pushing Lochead out of his spot.

At 2-1 the game would have been TOTALLY different.  FFS

We may be down but would you rather lose playing like we did last week or today. Neither for me.

First goal was a defender(I don't know who it was) running across in front of Paston. Was badly defended anyway.

Second goal was Duras fault as he gave the guy too much room and the last goal (what a surprise) was TL. If he was less than 10 metres out of position I'll eat my hat.

No way was our goal offside, a poor decision by the linesman. But these stupid yellow cards by people who should know better.

If the score was 0-0 I would be very pleased, because for the first time in many games we look good.

A quick goal for us in the second half could work wonders, but I have a bad feeling that not only will we concede more we will pick up more cards.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

True, a shit decision, but we have defended like halfwits, nor has our attack had much shape for all the ball we've had.

If he took a knock, he should have been subbed. No excuses for his shitty keeping.

I agree, if MV or BR had a legit goal disallowed they would be going on about it for the rest of the game,  ours hardly rates a mention.

we got caught out defensively twice playing a game we're not used to

How do you figure we gave up - commentators positive about our attacking play, we score a disallowed goal...

We defended like braindead schoolboys, and our midfield is leaking like a sieve on the counter attack, but nothing about giving up.
