    Sawyers

    Fact is - he would never get in the Brentford team now as they are too slick and keep the ball well!

    He is utter garbage. He can't defend and is too slow. The only time he looks good is when he has acres of space and plays a square ball!

    He’s like a cross between Mike Phelan and Paul Groves.

    This isn’t a compliment if any younger posters were wondering.

    Sawyers reminds me of Blanco - useless and goes missing
    Robinson is a replica of Scott Sinclair - f uckin fairy on a Xmas tree
    HRK reminds me of Anchiebe - holds the ball up well but not a lot else ( oh yes that goal against Wales many years ago )
    Austin reminds me of Ricky Lambert - remember that fat f ucker?

    Sawyers wasn't a problem earlier in the season though was he? and he isn't doing anything different now and who would you play instead of him Brunt, Barry or Harper?

    I went to 5 matches early in the season and was amazed at our ball retention and possession with Sawyers in our side.

    Virtually all of it in our half!

    We’d keep the ball for the first 10-15 minutes whilst doing nothing with it.

    Check those games out......

    Millwall at home twice and Cardiff were three of those games and we struggled to score in every match.

    Perriera was the only player that got me out of my seat when he came on.

    If we go up Sawyers doesn’t have a prayer at the higher level in my opinion.

    You can only play the ball forward if you have movement we have been better with Grisicki in the team as he is more direct players like Krov and Diangana while very good technically get closed down very quickly in this league and will probably be better in the prem, it also doesn't help that neither of our current full backs although good defenders aren't great when we go forward, Townsend especially is not confident on the ball if we had anyone better than Sawyers then fair enough i just don't think we do.

    Very neat and tidy when Albion are in the accendancy but when has to transition to defence, very sadly lacking, he was £2M for a reason.
    If a player can chew gum for 90 mins on a football field without swallowing it then he ain’t working hard enough!
