I agree CiB. Again Iwelumo said that he ? loves ? SP but he is too defensive minded. I don’t think that many would disagree with that.

For Brentford’s first goal we left 5 Brentford players unmarked, defending on a zonal basis. For their fourth goal we awarded them the freedom of the Turf. Part of the problem is inconsistent performances. SP needs to get on the backs of some of the players. They can’t have a good week and then next week they look like League 1 players.
