Horrendous by Sanderson. Foul or not it should have never reached that situation. He looks like he’s playing a few seconds behind real time continuously.

Stinking club, only group that would leave their better players on the bench. What the hell did we get Dennis for, 5 matches or something 

I'd need to see that again - it looked like Sanderson got pulled back.

Lowe picked the wrong team and its cost us the game. 

Ryan Hedges is an absolute waste of space. Chaddy's seat must face away from the pitch if he thinks he is quality. Constantly giving the ball away, never in the box when the ball is on the other side (Gueye put in one ball across and he was nowhere to be seen) he offers nothing. And he cant even tie his laces. 

Gueye has been poor and Weimann missed a huge chance. 

Its too late to rescue it but make subs at half time.

Pears has also gone back to being an absolute laughing stock.

[duckson]

If he doesn’t make a couple of subs at HT then he’s blind. 
 

And that decision from the ref was awful, put his whistle to his mouth but decided not to blow. Also I never understand this doing the splits when trying to save a shot like that, if he dives he has better reach and probably stops it.

Nice lesson for Lowe, pick your buddys it will back fire. Lads were always going to have fire in their belly after what’s gone on but sadly that will wear off, awful team selection against a crap team lack of confidence and no manager. Start the match to win the fucking thing and play your better players. Get a manager in you useless idiots.

This is why we need a proper manager. The post Eustace team spirit is waning

Don’t worry, Rudy and Steve will be meeting a few in London Pret Mangier I’m sure next week.

Operation finish 7th is in full swing for the masters

What was our goalkeeper doing just pick up the ball dl5 not try to kick it u daft sod

[Bethnal]

Pears culpable for both goals. Hedges partially for the first, ref largely for the second. But make no mistake, Hedges had a hand in both. The second was a neat finish, but Pears had a week to prepare himself for the second and got his angle fully wrong, his rushing out didn’t happen at all.

[WacoRover]

Wholesale changes at HT by Lowe are needed.

It’s 1-0 not 10-0.

Pears was poor for that goal, but I have faith that our bench will come in handy second half!

2-0

Awful, useless, terrible team selection, keep your in form players on the bench and play knackers like Hedges and Forshaw instead for some inexplicable reason. 

Venky's trying to self destruct our play off chances again? 

For once I dont think this is down to them

[simongarnerisgod]

i didn`t like the team selection,it was all about not conceding and now thats gone completely *****

[TheFinalCountdown]

Incedibly bad refereeing and Goalkeeping. Got what we deserved there. 2 Weimman chances aside, we've been 2nd best.

Hedges has had a nightmare - picked him to help defend and he's failed at that all over the pitch.

Forshaw as a starter is laughable.

Obrien showing how a proper midfielder plays.

Swansea are playing at a different tempo to us and look like they have an extra player wide.

Yeh Lowe out of a job super negative lineup

Yeah he did. But before that it was a bouncing ball that he didn’t deal with, went over him, he turns and then is held/pulled - too slow to deal with it - and just gave up and stopped on the foul

Let's be brutally honest - we're a clown show. He should not be managing a third game. We're still interviewing managers ffs.

Eustace has managed two games for Derby already!

Slightly, incredibly weak though

[moerpho]

Shit ref but it evens out. Wrong lineup and we’ve been shit. Make subs at half time ffs. Sick of these 60-70 min subs. «Hedges been shit for 45 mins, but if I give him 15 mins to prove himself while we are 2-0 down away from home he’ll probably turn good»-shit. Lowe should’ve taken off Hedges after 1-0 and put Kargbo on if we’re going to continue trying to play down our left. Still time to get something from this but changes needed post haste! COYB!!!

[yeti-dog]

I'd say Lowe has played himself out of contention for the job today.

Spineless team selection.

We're 5th, we should be going to Swansea looking to impose ourselves and go hone with the 3 points. Seems to me that Lowe went looking not to lose and that's turned out well...

[B16Rover]

Professional cone picker upper and patter on back who learnt his trade from Tony Mowbray can't pick his team properly and errs on the side of caution when faced with a problem that requires ambition and being brave 

More news at 10

[simongarnerisgod]

they`ll probably give lowe the job after this game😄

It does make me chuckle that I've been lambasted for my consistent opinion of Pears on here "oh it's getting tiresome / oh look who's commenting again about Pears".

He's awful. Always has been, always will be.
