Team V Brentford

[freer]

Christ not the best way to go into a game loosing Mings & McGinn

However you cant paper over the cracks we should be beating these sides, yet again the points sail off into the sunset

God only knows what El Ghazi brings to the party, lost count of the times he failed to control continually loosing possession & gets booked wouldn't have him anywhere near the starting 11 ?

El Ghazi might have played well V Barrow, though that was hardly a glowing recommendation Philogene-Bidace offers so much more than the ineffectual El Ghazi

Deano must be on a gentle saunter down memory lane playing the 36-year-old Ashley Young against the energetic Brentford Marvelous Nakamba has to start ?

Impressed by Emiliano Buendía superb strike & work ethic

Why does Deano leave it until the 79th minute to bring on Ollie Watkins ?

Answers on a self addressed envelope to the usual P O Box

Watkins Mings Konsa Bailey JJ Ramsey Christ there were less injuries sustained at Battle of Rorke's Drift

By the way one of my forefathers was recognised for his bravery at the Isandlwana missionary at Rorke's Drift

He wasn't initially involved in the battle however he got caught up in the conflict as he was camping near by & went over to complain about the noise !

I think I was expecting too much today, first game since we beat Watford 2-1....
The game lacked a spark, Brentford dug in and came for a draw so, well played them.
Mings and Maginn missing was a big blow, now it looks like Zebbe and Konsa took serious knocks!
Defending for their goal was awful, their most dangerous player with no one around him to block or tackle.
I would say all our team was Average and below par efforts from: Elghazi, Ings and Young, the young boy Chuckie did okay but failed to impose himself on the game!
Watkins looked great when he did get the nod some 20 mins too late!
So 1-1 on my big day out, verdict: Average
Average performance
Crowd- Average (atmoss) you would not think 42k were actually there apart from the queue for the train back home and talking of the crowd, Dougie stand right on half way line upper tier but empty seats my lord I counted over 20 seats empty!!! Scratches head.

Empty seats were probably ST holders away on their hols TD, that massive club that you know who has gone to had many more judging by the background to the pic of the sending off on 35 mins (too early for a hot dog?).

Last season we lose that game due to the lack of depth vs the injuries, Brentford have competed well in all 3 games so far and with half the side out a point isn't the disaster some would have you believe. If you take into account the disruption of international tournaments on pre season, injuries and late arrival of new signings plus losing our best player we are a long way off fielding our strongest 11. We'll be ok.

Never doubted that the team wouldn't perform, we have a proper squad these days and our kids will not let us down. draw was a good result.
