And just concede normal goals against everyone else.

Our defensive record is a joke, and we have some of the most dangerous attackers in world football rolling into town in a few days to fill their boots.

2 nil up against one of the worst sides in Europe and we go in at 2-2. There's no real organisation, no structure and passing is poor in their half. We're playing 3 in midfield but smallbone and browne are way too wide when we're in possession. Usual laziness from Doherty, bit of naivety amongst the back 3 and an overly rash molumby. Needs to finish 5-2 for Kenny to come out of this with anything other than a hammering.

Old habits Die Hard...

Same mistakes and same issues remain. This performance would end in a massacre on Monday.

Something just isn't clicking regarding certain, crucial aspects of our game.

Smallbone and Doherty have linked up very well. O'Dowda has played well. Molumby has initiated both both and been generally good. Ferguson and Obafemi look a good pairing. Lots of positives but they need to go out and win this second half well.
We're decent enough..

Bar the 2 goals we let in (which I’d read nothing into as kelleher wont be playing Monday), there are positives.

Ferguson and smallbone should’ve cemented places into team on Monday. O’Dowda very good too. Bazunu will be back also, etc,

Won’t read anything into result tonight, conceding 2 goals like we did might give us a much needed kick up the hole for Monday. I’m positive for Monday 👍

Yep, on this performace so far, should start Monday.
Maybe instead of Obafemi and then have Cullen and Knight also in the team.
Browne needs to go.

A good team just wouldn't concede them. You'd have to be a bit worried about how we always seem to look defensively brittle at home.
Thats my logic, it can't just be a coincidence. There's serious concerns at the back.

Yes, we conceded six goals in our last four games before tonight - we can't keep putting this down to bad luck (and strangely, we look more dodgy at the Aviva than away from home).

That's the typenof game we shud be going on to win 5 or 6 nil after our start. Instead yet again we concede goals. Doherty gives away for the 1st goal and a shambles at the back for the 2nd. All the good is taken out of the game now assuming we go on and win. Even thats not certain anymore. France wont be shaking in their boots.

Jaysus. Conceding two more shots...AGAIN. How are you not worried?

Browne and Molumby should never be a combo

I see what you’re saying, but if we defend like that on Monday we’ll be spanked.

I admire the glass half full view, and agree that there are positives, but this is just another minnow, in a long line of minnows that we cant keep scoreless. And, another home 2-0 advantage lost to a lower ranked team.
