So are people here really blaming AT for the defeat. I mean really?
Sheesh!
It's not the fact he lost the ball, its the way he gave up trying to retrieve it, that was criminal.
That annoys people, and im sure MP noticed aswell.
Townsend may well be a star in the making, but not here mate.
He isn't going to get game time doing what he does.
If he wants to progress and play for England, he's going to need a change of scenery.
Good luck to him and I mean it, as im sure most fans do

Watch it again.
FFS he lost a tackle and Dier our RB was not behind him.
But we were 2-0 down and getting stuffed anyway. I genuinely cannot understand the hatred for Andros.

He started to chase back and gave up mate, ive seen the goal.
So its ok to lose the ball and say fcuk it let the right back deal with it?
You don't understand MP system, it you lose and try to win it back then ok.
But to stop running and start jogging is a no no.
Yes the right back was at fault as well, but make no mistake it was Townsend s error.

Watch it again. He would have needed a jet pack to catch him.
If you think he jogged back then you are incorrect.

Lost a tackle? He tried to dribble as last man on the right side fully aware that Dier had pushed up on the pitch.

thought he started off running, but slowed down towards the end.

Also think Dier played him into a bit of trouble. Just comes on, and gets given the ball with very little options open to him, but he didnt do well in the situation

It isn't what he did yesterday, it is his lack of progress generally. He seems incapable of changing. At least Lennon makes up for it by working his socks off defensively. I like Andros, but I think he should move on.

SSN reporter says the club have told him Townsend will not be leaving.

Astonishing. First giving Rose a new contract and keeping Townsend. I'm still not sold on loch being able to spot a player. Lets hope its just us playing hardball.

Amazed how many supporters of other clubs seem to think he is a great player. Mostly based on getting England through those last qualifiers during his 'golden period'
