Still lacking height & physical presence

[bathlad61]

Yes, its early days, although time is ticking abit, and it was the first pre-season game / match fitness etc. without Jansson we lack any real dominance in air, both defending & attack. Take Ayling out of last night team, average in height at best - hopefully Bielsa will recruit in this area, but who knows
Keep going back to the Jansson / Bartley combo, strong at both ends of pitch, need something similar asap.
For me, Hernandez / Saiz / Alloiski - all three in same team, bit to much of a luxury, would prefer to see Baker in place of one of them
Fingers crossed new recruits will appear, but unless the balance is right, when playing some of the leagues more " robust " sides, Millwall / Stoke etc, a repeat of last seasons maulings is more than likely.

Just read on BBC

Brentford have accepted a bid from an unnamed club for former Netherlands Under-21 forward Florian Jozefzoon.

The 27-year-old ex-PSV Eindhoven man has been with Brentford since January 2017, making 62 appearances.

"Personal terms and a medical have yet to be completed," the Bees said on Twitter on Tuesday.

Championship rivals Derby County and Leeds United have both been linked with a move for Jozefzoon, who scored seven goals in 39 league games last season.

so 50/50 chance unless it's some other unnamed club, as Leeds and Derby are the named clubs?

Saiz is a luxury a over rated one.

Lacking some serious quality players.

recruitment so far this summer has been very poor. 2 loans in not good enough this close to season. wheres our commanding CB and goal scoring CF?? need at least 5 more starters if we're serious about promotion. too many players not strong enough for championship.

17 days till the 1st game.

No way will we be in the mix this season with this current squad..at least 5 more of what you mentioned to even give us a slight sniff of a play-off spot!

Starting to look like radders and his merry men don't really care about getting out of this division!

Prove me wrong..please please please prove me wrong!!!!!!!!!
