westonred Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Ollie Watkins was booked in the 9th minute today why didn't we get in his face, kick him up in the air, anything possible to get a reaction and get him sent off. No we don't get anywhere near him all game hence he scores 2 goals against us. This was tactically naive, any other team would have had the experience and gamesmanship to get nasty against him. We are too nice and tactically clueless time to say bye and Thanks for all you've done LJ but we won't go any further with you in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Ripped us a new one today I can't recall how serious we were about trying to sign him? We were too tight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brann-red Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 @westonred For me that should have been a tactic . I 100% agree with you . We were not getting back in the game with them having 11 men . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Exactly what I was thinking, clearly got a little temper. Few sly elbows, kick ins, a few words, this is what the top teams would of done. Hunt should of shoved him off the pitch not long after Williams got sent off to try and get under his skin. But did nothing. I think the only player that would of seen this and tried to get him a second yellow would of been Williams.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt, Kalas, even Smith, easily could have tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Every time we play Brentford it frustrates me that we didn’t sign Watkins. Playing locally at Exeter, we’ll within our price range, a very obviously talented player..... why the hell didn’t we sign him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Best player on the park by miles...constantly moving for his team mates, strong, aggressive, intelligent, Fantastic footballer. Was constantly comparing his movement with our front line. What a difference. Shame we didn't bust a gut to buy him when at Exeter...we scouted him enough.

Some of the tackling from Hunt and Dasilva was a joke. Losing needs to hurt more and make the players nasty and prepared to go toe to toe and get in there face. The only fight seems to have been LJ after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winsaw Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Though he was quility today, really dose amaze me we didn't put more effort into signing him when he was at Exeter , if we couldn't make a better off than Brentford did then there is something wrong with our recruitment team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're like the Arsenal of the championship, *nearly* signed every single decent player but it fell through.
