3

Probably 5 but only 3 went in

A proper manager would never pick Pears for the first team again

He's just the latest clown in a succession of third rate 2nd choice keepers

He should have really been saving the 3rd as well.

Or at least trying and not just waving it goodbye.

[yankfan]

Remember a few weeks back when sone questioned is Kaminski should get his spot back after injury?

Dont let other players hide the fact Travis is fucking hopeless

Pears looking very shaky. 

Good call 😒

[Ulrich]

At least Pears will go down as the worst keeper in footballing history. Never seen anything like his own goal, does he have Italian heritage?

You could see on his face that he'd gone to pieces, why Mowbray kept him on I will never know. It was unfair on everyone including Pears.

With that said, if Kaminski is in goal we win today.

By a couple, comfortably too.

I'm not concerned about confidence after that. We were a cut above them.

The lad in the sticks has let everyone else down. He knows it.

Not going to bash him, he'll do that to himself. 

Just hope Thomas stays injury free in goal for rest of the season....otherwise 😱😱

[neophox]

Pears played well before when he had the chance but blew it big time today.

 

Also Butterworths defending when scoring 3-2 was schoolish and Dolan looking awful.

Cant say the ones coming in impressed. Edun is not a Pickering and Nyambe missing was huge. 

Maybe this was good for some regulars who was tame today and a response is needed on wednesday.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Too many of them trying to dribble past people today, too many touches, running into players, daft shots. Like we had won and just needed to turn up. Very poor attitude from all of them.

Edun, Rothwell, Diaz, Dolan especially poor.

Pears even worse. Just before his wonder goal, he almost let in another. Very very bad today.

 

After Hudds and now this horror we should fear our new year capitulation has already begun. Then next couple of games are absolutely must wins.

Commentator just said something about a FA cup 4th round draw, thought they did away with that about 5 FA Cup Competitions ago

A good keeper tips that shot over the bar

I think an average keeper tips it over the bar and a good one jumps higher than an inch and catches it.

And Insaid Pears shiuld play today, I iught to be shot.  I hope this is not the beginning of the end.  Too much Mowbary there,.starting with Gallagher playing.  We looked like we did not give a stuff.  Have we now lost Lenihan to injury too?

Because we’d used all 3 subs

[BankEnd Rover]

And that ladies & gentleman is the kick start to a poor run of form…you heard it hear first…loosing today should bother people a lot more than it does.

Trying to be positive but heads will drop & we all know what happens with Mowbray in charge

We MUST get a reaction next week. 

[jim mk2]

The FA Cup really matters to the older generation, and I hate this "concentrate on the league stuff". A cup run and good league form go hand in hand, and I wouldn't be surprised if we go into a Tony death spiral from here

[Herbie6590]

‘It’s deja vu all over again…”

[unleaded]

Full backs were absolutely hopeless …

Dolan is a nice lad but useless at right back … horrible 

No team stands a chance with a goalkeeper like that between the sticks …. 
 

 

 

[neophox]

That sub Assgaard who scored the winner.... never heard of him before .....Butterworth may look at his shooting..

He's okay when the players around him are playing well. Unfortunately they were all fucking hopeless.

Well the only problem with that is we had 5 subs today

[Hasta]

If that was a goalkeeper for a North West Counties league team I’d stilll say it was embarrassing.

[yellowsubmarine]

Our fringe players are so bad, it pulls the rest down to their level.. Edun, Dolan, Pears.

Rothwell, drifts and glides alot but nothing comes out of those runs. Mind's probably in Glasglow.

Ben, worst game since he became Diaz. Over complacent, cant dribble for god sake.

Edun just clueless at left back. Dont wish to blame him but he's no Pickering.

Dolan, 10 million stepovers. Useless.

Pears, no comments. As-is.

Only ones who deserve some credit are the 2 Brighton loanees and Ayala.

It's OK.

Nyambe will be VERY easy to replace .............apparently.
