Nightmare stuff. Unless we get the next goal this could be 4 or 5 nil.
Jake O'Brien taking pointless long throws is winding me up too.

Our World Cup campaign is over after 15 minutes.
Yeah looks like another world cup supporting whoever's playing against England. I'd be seriously worried if I was Keith Andrews watching this display between his keeper and captain
I don't think this team was picked to chase a deficit either. Subs could be needed this side of half time.
HH should be considering subs already. This is diabolical.
I'd get Johnston or Ogbene out there straight away just to try something different. Probably just take Doherty off before he does any more damage and drop Manning back. Nothing to lose at this point.
It feels like our traditional identity of being hard to beat has just been completely stripped away over the last five years and we can't get it back. Without that we have nothing.

The way we're unable to hold on to the ball here hints at more fundamental problems tbh
Armenia will be enjoying watching this
(As a side note, the ref is giving them literally everything here)
I think we can come back here once the nerves settle and if we can set Manning up for more crosses.
I watched Armenia against Turkey in the last qualifiers. Good side, arguably better than Hungary. Given, they were playing Turkey and were very motivated.
If you open a restaurant and have lots of waiting staff,KP'S, front of house, but crucially NO CHEF's, what do you expect.
The LOI doesn't deserve to be aligned to an association that has this rubbish as it's flag bearers.
Ferguson is being made to look like a small child playing against a men's team. Hasn't been allowed a touch.
We're growing into the game here, one mistake and we'll have a one goal game.
Jake O'Brien is about our most potent attacking threat so far.
...or a three goal game.
I don't see much football being played, just long throws and hopeful balls into the box.
If I was Hungarian I wouldn't be too worried.
This is so disappointing...argh
This could be Doherty's last cap. I know he maybe sees the world a bit differently, but how can you have as little urgency as he's showing in this situation?
Not a call for HH to be sacked but it’s difficult to see the progress tonight. The players with 4 at the back doesn’t make sense, there’s a natural 3 at the back that makes sense. But wtf do I know. Collins and Doherty should be ashamed of that first half.
