Albion v Brentford team news matchthread

[Baggiemadguern]

I thought we were excellent in the first half and didn't give them a kick. We should have been 2 or 3 up at half time. The only reason we weren't was the fact that Gayle was sitting on the bench. I don't get it! We weren't as good in the second half and I have to agree that one or two of our players looked a little tired and should have been replaced. I don't know if it's lack of concentration but I've lost count of the number of times that we've conceded in the final five minutes or so. I don't agree that Brentford deserved the draw as they were outplayed for the majority of the game and their time wasting with the score at 0-0 was laughable. Basically, two points dropped.

Is Gayle with us until the end of the season? I wonder.

Would he want to sign permanently when he is not getting game time (opportunity)?

Not much of a bench at all. 4 past their best plus one who's job seems to be to sit on the bench.

I agree chris not much of a bench but enough on their to make whole sale changes in midfield with 20 - 25 mins to go + a lot of experience on their to calm it down & the biggest factor for me is share the work load we have a big game against villa friday who will be fresh & full of confidence ,saying all that you have to take your chances & we didn't & unfortunately its a home game passed us by & 2 points dropped where we could have closed the gap on the top 2 & opened up a bit of a gap on the 4th & 5th teams , a personal point from me deep down i feel we are 3 decent players light & that could well cost us in the long run , unless thing change in the window which i doubt very much ,

An awful result against a teamin freefall.

I’m expecting us to suffer our worst home defeat against Villa in memory on Friday night as I can see them tearing our defence apart.

I thought that would happen to us against Leeds...

Lets wait and see. Hopefully that is a painful lesson that was needed for our strikers to take absolute sitters and Moore to introduce a sub in the closing minutes if nothing more than to kill a few seconds.

The answer to your first question is yes, as far as I am aware. The answer to your second question isn't so straight forward. I'm sure that Gayle will play on Friday evening though and we need a performance like that against Leeds.

Win Lose or draw at least their will be an atmosphere i thought the ground was pathetic last nite , it picked up everytime we had a set peace or cornor, which against one of the smallest defences in the league if not the smallest we were woeful,
