    Three centre backs and we have Kav marking a guy who’s a foot taller than him.

    Exactly

    2 of the easiest goals they’ll get all season.

    I know Sarc can't play every game, but today wasn't the day to drop such an outlet.

    Some awful performances out there.

    Laters Kavanagh, clown.

    A league two side all day long.

    Hopefully a wake-up call to jettison a high number of players that just aren't league one

    How does Byrne get in this side? Kelly poor. Front three look they’ve no idea what they’re doing. Halliday off it. You’ve got to respect GA but this selection was very perplexing. Don’t look like could score in a month of Sundays, never mind scoring two.

    Sorry but i disagree i felt he could've held the shot or at least not palmed it straight to their player to stroke home. Agree that the opportunity came from awful defending though

    Xmas panto season.

    Kav at back post marking a 6ft 4 defender .

    Very very poor performance against frankly a bunch of L2 players , and we have stooped to their level .

    Byrne the weak link

    I’ll have to take up drinking;)

    We certainly can’t dilly dally in transfer market
    We will find our top 3 position compromised very quickly

    Need to make changes at half time but it's likely too late. This is a comedy line up

    ^^^^
    100% this.

    He has the odd game where he does the absolute basics,gets shit loads of over the top praise but today’s performance is his default setting far too often in his city career

    I'm getting really annoyed with the throw-ins that he takes too quickly, just chucking it down the line to no one and giving possession away. It's too frenetic and wasteful.

    Well well
    No humble pie for tea
    Saw that line up and knew what was coming
    All down to GA this one
    Flogged the players to death on Monday and picked players today who should be on their way in this window Byrne Kav for starters closely followed by T Wright
