Brentford - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread***

[asturianblanco]

Wober looks a player, clean sheet today, thats not happening with any combo including Cooper/llorente.

dont get all the abuse of aronson/rodrigo, both give the opposition problems, and we are scoring from everywhere this season(albeit not today!).

we might not be bringing in world class big names, but, our bench looked impressive today, starting to look like a Prem squad.

think our problems lie in the coaching/tactics, rather than the players which i think are good enough for the prem, if not top 6.

Massive game forest, a win and we are in the midtable mix, lose, and its a definate relegation scrap again this season, think we will tw@t them myself.

Fair enough to get a point v Brentford. Koch and Wober looked solid together and agree with the comments about being better defensively.

Jesse does seem to be clueless when it comes to making subs - 30 mins to go we had a bench to change up the game and bring on Bambi, Sinisterra and Rutter.

Not quite sure why Harrison stayed on thought he slowed up a lot of our attacks.

The bottom bunch is tight - only 3 or 4 points between about 8 places.

Need more points about out of this run of games.

Unfortunately, that seems to be what he does these days. Everything slows down or stops altogether when it reaches him. I wasn't sure who was supposed to be playing on the left wing. I assume it should have been Wilfried but, for most of the first half, Harrison was almost holding his hand. Not only did these restrict the space for our best player but also left gapping holes towards the middle of the park.

Definitely better defensively. Happy with the point.

Decent point, and looked more solid all round.Would rather see either Greenwood or Sinisterra play, jury out on Arranson, looks to lightweight & end product lacking when it matters. The next 4/5 matches are key, plus others in and around will pickup points.

2 points dropped against an average Brentford side on the day.

Alf; they came firstly not to lose and maybe get a win.
We played to win foremost and not to lose.
Stalemate.
A point away from home will suit them more then us.
We can take from the game, clean sheet, we ‘seem’ to be playing a little more like a team. We didn’t lose.
….but a concern neither did they.

Had a disargeement with a fellow Leeds supporter towards the end of the match.

They kept saying things like "we are only half way through the season" and "But it's Brentford"

So when are we going to start playing and winning. A Youtuber called Just Joe put up a screen shot the other week. It took the top six teams out of the league, results against them as well. Do you know where we were sat? Second from bottom, only Southampton below us.

And since when have we looked at Brentford and been happy with a point at home? They came up a season after us. I'm not knocking Brentford but surely our sights should be aimed higher.

Jessie's post match interview hye said "things are coming together". Sorry to rain on his parade but other teams around us are winning games and"things are coming together" for other teams as well.
