We should have binned Smith when we had the chance.  Miserable.

This.

This. Please please bin him in the summer - he has got to go

[Toronto Villa]

Dean Smith is just shit at this level. Useless

Yep. He was very close to it before lockdown. I’d sack him after this.

[Darth Villa]

Christ that was shite.

Who said 1-4? Looking about right now

[German James]

... and that's enough of that. We offer absolutely nothing up front and now the defense has switched off. I'm off to enjoy my Sunday evening.

I said right after our goal that us scoring didn’t make much of a difference. If we play as we had been it was a matter of time before they scored a few.

Really wouldn't have started McGinn. He's well short for 90 minutes. Think it's better to give him 30 minute cameos to build up.

Oh well,  it was nice watching premier league football in person for a few games.

[CT]

TSM would be proud of having double full backs.

[PaulWinch again]

Fuck me why can’t we retain the bloody ball.

[Proposition Joe]

A pathetic performance is now getting what it deserves

And our attacking players are probably all out of puff from chasing shadows all day. Can't see Trez or Jota turning this one around. May as well bring Borja on (tbh i totally forgot we signed him) and pump long.

[SoccerHQ]

Nakamba should've be on ten minutes ago.

[rougegorge]

We get into an undeserved lead and just continue the same hopeless approach. Sit 4 deep and narrow with 5 deep and narrow in front. Let them have the ball and cross at will and hope that one of the leakiest defences can keep a clean sheet.

[Uknowthescore]

Dean smiths lucky there’s no fans I reckon they would be on his back now.
