The boy slowed down and waited for contact to be fair. Says a lot about what kind of player he is, rather than attempting to score a goal.

I think the ball actually slows up to be fair to him. Hendry just couldn`t have got it any more wrong .

Genuinely think Gunn would be second choice goalkeeper at the Pars. There must be someone better

Hendry had a brain fart against Brazil and again tonight.

I would bin him if I was the manager….but I am not ….lol

The irony is that if it was a pen then Hendry may have stayed on and they might have missed the pen …

Never been a fan of playing three lumbering giants in central defence. Like to see someone in there who is quicker over 10-15 yards.
Should we continue with three CH’s now ? Get someone else in midfield.
Think McGinn has been poor.
I would hook him and McKenna and get Doak and an other on.

Difficult to get anything from this game now.

Need to come second…at worst…in the group which will mean winning 3 of our next four probably.

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Exactly what I was thinking. Hendry caught too tight and it`s a foul but Ndoye has really made it happen. Frustrating one to lose.

I was disappointed Welsh was dropped.

McBurnie has been brilliant so far.

Its academic now, but it really annoys me the defenders do that when there is still a goalkeeper there. I once read 60-70%of 1 on 1s end in a miss. That feels too high bit its certainly a significant amount.

Wonderful defending from Binks and McKenna for the second there…….Duke of Wellington statue would’ve been more useful!

Hendry has to be punted.
I got some stick in pub for suggesting he was sh*t against Slovenia but I think I was correct.
Lackadaisical is about the only phrase I can use for his demeanor.
That was a Sunday league challenge and it has definitely cost us any chance of getting a result in the game

Maybe a relegation to Group 3 will give us a chance to rebuild an aging squad and give these guys time to grow into international football……

Would class Gunn as culpable for 2 goals, but also helped keep score down too 🤦🏻‍♂️

Unfortunately, all our CBs over the last few years (decades?) are guaranteed a major brain fart at least 1 in 3 matches, most consistent least bad performer is probably McKenna... So we need to score, and we don`t look like doing that either...

McKenna was badly at fault in the WC against Brazil but got off relatively lightly for some reason.

That was dreadful. I feel sorry for the manager. There’s at least 3 players that need to go. We have a poor GK and nothing up front I did however think McBurnie was good. Hendry should be arrested.

I was about to say, Im sure he was pretty culpable for errors v Brazil

Even with 10 men to have only 2 shots AT goal in a home match, with the Swiss having 23, is awful and a total embarrassment. Games Gone🤦🏻‍♂️

I think Bain deserves a chance now and that’s really saying something. Angus Gunn is a hologram.

There`s a reason why I made a point of not saying better, but least bad. Seeing McKennas name on the team sheet still gives me the fear, but overall considering who else we have had playing there, that`s all I was saying. Hopefully Welsh and Binks come good, but looks to be more of the same

Bain is absolutely honking as well.

Listening on BBC and halliday has nailed it. Every GK in the squad is miles away from what we`ve had over the last 25 years in Gordon, McGregor, Leighton etc

C'mon Ye Pars!

Yip. No shame in losing to a very good Swiss side with 11 men never mind 10, but teams with 10 men can sometimes still give it a right go. Surprised SP persisted with the 3 CH’s, our wing backs were pinned back and the 3 in midfield over ran.
It was an abject performance second half.
We have a team that looks so one paced…

It will be interesting to see what team starts against NM. Gilmour, McGinn, Ferguson and Robertson will be toiling to play 3 games in a week.

Hope we go with 4 at the back. Binks and Welsh can’t be any worse than McKenna and Hendry. Doig and Hickey back in.
We have to give some new guys a game at some point so let’s see what Lennon Miller and McPake can do.

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

When we went 2-0 down I think Poco brought off Gilmour and McBurnie to save them for the weekend as he knew it was done. Probably a sensible move but meant we had half an hour of absolute dross.

We really need a win at the weekend. It would be good to get Josh McPake and Gannon-Doak in on either side. McGinn was poor and played the whole game so maybe he`ll sit the upcoming one out.
