i will save Steve writing a match report and scores. Perhaps we just give the whole team four out of ten? The first 20 mins looked encouraging but once the first went in we seemed to lose all confidence and there was only ever going to be one winner. At half-time I said to the people sat next to me this will end up four or five nil (well at least we did get one).
it was a shocking performance all round and nobody can hold their head up high tonight. Salter-Clarke was struggling in the first half so I don't understand why he was kept on and thenall three subs used in the first five minutes. This meant a lost game had become a case of keeping the score down.
We are shipping far too many goals now and I hope it is not a case of we are now being found out at this level.

Roos had a shocker, Leadbitter was awful defensively but okay going forward, Moore might as well have not been there. Genuinely think everyone else was at least average.

Clarke said after the game seven or eight players were below par and he apologised for the second half performance in particular. I would agree with that. Too many wayward passes and long hopeful pints against a defence that were always going to win the aerial battle. Agree with the three you mentioned. Moore has done nothing since his arrival. It was a very poor performance, just hope the players can quickly become uncle back.

I'm disappointed Clarke didn't hold his hands up; he's earned the right to make mistakes, but tonight's were monumental. Why bring Hartley on at 0-2? Beggared belief and that was before Clarke-Salter got injured.

I think you're giving the big lump too much credit there, but even if you're right it should've been a straight swap for whoever was failing.

I thought Tom Lockyer was excellent - without him it could have been 8 - JCS found Magennis tough as you would expect against a bloke who has contributed quite a bit to Northern Ireland's recent successes. However Lookman and Ajose had the run of the pitch for too long & other than Tom very few decided to get stuck in.

We went from four at the back to five at the back in order to chase the game. A waste of a substitution.

It worked as well in the 2nd half as the first, only difference was Lockyer didn't manage to somehow make like Bruce Lee and clear one off the line in the 2nd half. Overall our defending is woeful, We need help getting it sorted out.

Time to bring back McCrystal , always reliable and always gives a solid no thrills performance.

I know not everyone will agree, but yes, I think we would have been more solid in midfield with Ollie. He lets opposition players know he's there, they end up trying to play around him. Still in a state of shock from the mess of Tuesday night. That 3rd goal, nobody knows who is supposed to be doing what.

Apart from the occasional long range blockbuster I don't see what else he brings to the team.

Whenever DC had a big CF to deal with in Conf or last season Macca always did a good job and could deal with the "big bully" CF. whether he still can I don't know but Macca has never let us down. In this league the forwards are more mobile and speed was never Macca's strength but where teams do have a big CF he might be the answer.
