I’m serious now . How can three coaches sit down pre match and think it’s a good ******* idea to play Moore & Towler on the same side. At least play mariappa who’s got some experience 

Mariappa has been poor, more to the point why not play Kallas LCB

[GlastonburyRed]

Parallels to the Palace v Burnley game.

If we are going to lose, I’d rather us lose 5-0 than 1-0 if it means Holden is sacked. Our confidence is shot. Taylor Moore and Towler together is a terrible idea, Towler needs a veteran next to him. Sorry if this is controversial but I’m sick of us being mugged off and making every team look like the Championship’s version of Bayern Munich 

[Dingbat]

Don’t mean to get on the kid’s back, but Towler looks one of the slowest players I’ve ever seen. Was left for dust for their goal. 

[Loosey Boy]

Just need to hope the bottom three keep losing!!

[054123]

That is a disgusting decision.

A booking when Moore is fouled? 

[marcofisher]

Sorry but the ref has just watched Paterson be dragged to the floor right in front of him and not given a foul, and then given a foul against Moore from the other end of the pitch when he was ahead of Sarr.

[Banjo Red]

Get Moore off now he is clearly rattled.

Holden out and the two stooges.

Watford are easy on the eye. I wonder if they are normally, or whether this is just us?

We make every team look like table-toppers

The best 

[Fordy62]

Our defending is like we’re 1-0 up in the 92nd minute, just hoof it!

Perhaps it's a case of "too many cooks"

To be fair, Mariappa has looked really poor on the left. Harsh booking for Moore just now; didn’t even look like a foul. 

[GlastonburyRed]

I mean in terms of Towler, he's a kid physically, really not convinced this is the correct type of game/context to drop him in to ensure his appropriate long-term devlopment.

[RUSSEL85]

7 points, well 8 point including  goal difference from 6th and 10 points from relegation zone. Progress.

[LoyalRed]

Sunderland are winning , what have we done.... dear on dear 

[pl00peh91]

Hearing Simpson say before the game “nobody expected Lansbury to hit the ground running immediately” after Holden started him immediately against our biggest rivals in the league was a laughable comment. If you genuinely believed that then you bed him in first rather than throwing him in the deep end

Holden is panicking. His coaching isn't helping the squad so he might as well try another face.

Won't be quicker than the goal we conceded.

Leaves the major issue in place though, even though he appointed Holden.

[Banjo Island]

Every season theres that one team that makes a late dash for the playoffs and that one team that makes a late dash for the trap door our gang dont whiff of that team we positively reek of it

[BCFC Grim]

We've got a manager who a league one team wouldn't appoint and two babysitters sacked by Cheltenham and Stockport ******* County.

If you don't laugh you'd cry.

If I wasn't someone who tries hard to stay positive and not get into abuse, I'd suggest that might be 'too many cocks'

[Finley_Smith10]

This is our turning point tho

Absolutely ******* shocking both the ref and his assistant how Taylor Moore effort was a foul let alone a yellow card. I can be annoyed when we are poor but absolutely ******* livid when we get inept ******* like that

[Roadrunner]

I like Taylor Moore, but a OG and a yellow card in 7 minutes. Is he after some sort of club record i don't know about.

[paignton red]

But, but,  Holden said weds night "Our seasons on now"

Hopefully he doesn't get too affected if he has a bad game. His direct opponent, Sarr, is a £40million rated target for top clubs.
