Brentford(away)predictions

[champs95]

Just read Tosin's comments about last Saturday on the official site. So we scored from a deflection and a "shinner"!
These are the bits about football that are beyond anyone's control. Add that to the dreadful referee's failure to award us a blatant penalty, and a picture begins to emerge of the random factors involved.
We thoroughly deserved the win, but it is strange how the little things also start to fall for you when there is confidence in the team.
I watched the Norwich game, and - in contrast - nothing quite fell for them.

It has always caught my eye. Teams at the top will get all the luck. Teams at the bottom will get no luck.
I do however feel, you make you own luck in football. Do everything right, and the luck will go your way. Play certain players, and no point bemoaning bad luck.
Bennett had a spell of giving pens away earlier this season. You could even say one was bad luck (vrs Hudd at home)
But is it really bad luck?
Notice Nyambe doesn't give pens away, bad luck or not.
Play Bennett, no point bemoaning bad luck. As I don't feel its that simple.
Just don't play him, and watch the luck change.
Bad luck will follow poor players and poor teams.
Do you see Liverpool getting bad luck? No, because they aren't knowingly playing players who aren't good enough. And they are doing everything right.
Remember when they had that ****e keeper a few season's ago? Karius? They tried to say he was unlucky. He was just crap.
Remember before they had Van Dijk? That defence at times was viewed as unlucky. It wasn't, it wasn't quite good enough.
Tosin isn't unlucky. Armstrong isn't unlucky. Travis isn't unlucky.
Bennett at times is unlucky.
Thats not luck, it's knowingly playing a guy not good enough, then bemoaning bad luck. Completely different.
If we keep the same side, and keep up our standards, and play players like Tosin, watch how much bad luck we get.
Start making 6/7 changes a game, for no reason, and bring in inferior players, expect the bad luck to follow.
