Boyes statuesque there, not even attempting to cover the obviously dangerous overlapper and hoping a sheepish little point at the space would do a job.
A few players could have tried marking the guy 6 yards out though.
Whilst Vokes and Hanlan looked better today we aren’t looking much of a threat in the box. I would ‘ahem’ rest one of them next week. Just to mix it up.
And as for Phillips’s cameo … oh dear. The poor lad fell over every time the ball was near him. Get some studs lad.
People moan about the whole Var and linesmen putting their flags up late routine but that wouldn't half have helped with that ludicrous offside call on Taylor and McCleary offside.
With the missed first half for many of us what an arse of a day

Guessing you’re in Safari? It works in Firefox.
Great old school use of "incredible scenes" from the co commentator too.
Yes Safari. Had been fine all first half. Now working again on Safari
That was a mad bit of skill from GMac.
Couple more bits of McCleary magic today
We have Joe Low - can we just stick a corner into the box?
Oh Brandon!
These defenders are going to be having nightmares about GMac for years to come.
So undeserved.
Oh arsebiscuits.
Well defending wise that was about as bad as it gets.
This formation does lend itself to the opposition being crap. Work to do at the back.
Poor defending for both goals today. Caught with simple overlapping runs

Boyes’ job there is to concentrate on Alfie May, fuck knows who was supposed to pick up the runner though, everyone just stood and watched.
I’m right in thinking it was Boyes that was awol for the second goal. Mental switch off?
That's his primary job, but he needs to at least attempt to do some fire fighting and react to that run rather than stand still.
But yes no-one else picked the run up and another couple left a player unmarked.
Would have to see whether Leahy could have got his head on the miscued shot too.
But a real kick of a goal when we've been on control albeit without creating many clear chances.
No, Boyes was dealing with May, although I think he should have been light on his feet and react to the runner.
No Idea who didn't track the runner.
How the hell have we ended up with a comfortable defeat here. Blooming heck
A defensive horror show sealed the game.
Chance for Hanlan to seal the game at one point and maybe the lack of clear cut chances. Lots of huff and puff but no intensity in the box does for us
FFS three dreadful goals from a defensive point of view.
To be fair they took thier chances, we didn't...so we can't really complain
We’ll win playing a lot worse than this. But defensively, it’s been shaky.
Frankly both sides look lower end of the top half of the table on today's performance
Subs haven't worked tbh and momentum lost, add in some ropey defending and we're done for. We always seem to play well for half an hour there.
Phillips looks very animated but doesn't seem to have completed a pass.
Enjoying Uncle Albert as the second co-commentator.

Wonder if it's the classic trying too hard routine. He looks like he's trying to do everything too fast
I thought they both played quite well, looked awful after Vokes went off. Guess others aren't anywhere near fully fit, otherwise some odd choices.
Possibly Forinos worst game for us
