AppyDAZE Posted January 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I can't prove it (obviously) but I am pretty confident they would have beaten us by a margin even with 11 v 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 However good Fam, Watkins and Weimann are at what they do, I can't see any would have the ID for Brentford side would they? They are all so great technically. They are beatable though. It's just LJ seemed to misunderstand what tactics to use against them. We were never going to out pass them.

How did Millwall beat them on Sunday? Played tight and pressurised them into a mistake and giving a goal away. Pretty much what Millwall did to us. Not pretty but effective. We only the other hand like gift wrapping goals to the opposition in the first few minutes then try to play catch up for the rest of the game.

Peter1450 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 It was there for everyone to witness today, gave us a lesson in pretty much all departments on and off the pitch today, really is hard to see where the current coaching team( and I use that term very loosely), can improve this current incarnation of nearly men.

Agree Fordy, loved their style of football today, lovely to watch, ours was , with no disrespect to the boys who play on the Downs...................like Downs football.

I think we may have a better shot stopper but Rayas distribution is incredible. For the first goal he knocked a first time long through ball to Watkins which I’ve never seen done as effective as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 They are a fine team and have been for a while - someone on here said they would plummet to relegation candidates post Warburton and Smith - but they just stick to their identity and carrying on playing and carry on outperforming bigger clubs and those with bigger budgets - a proper footballing team, good on them ...

Me a couple of mates mentioned how even if we had 11, we would of backed off in the same manner and ended up with same result anyway. They were brutal, clinical, and confident; we're only the second - when we actually get a shot on target, which is very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to shout down all the "we can't compete!" softies that explain and excuse so much waste and error and cock up by our own club. I hope they go up.

I'm absolutely sure they were better than us when we came up (as was to be expected) but I'm fairly sure we still haven't caught up to where they were then. Are we really that far behind them?

spudski Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 You can see with Brentford how balanced they are as a team. Every player suits their style of play. Every player has been recruited to fit into that system. They stick and believe in their system, and play a settled side. Yes they have weaknesses, they aren't that physical, aggressive or have a massive Airial threat. They can be beaten by playing 'anti football'. I look at our team, and imo, it's disjointed. We had an identity that worked for us a couple seasons back. High energy, high press, pass and move, creating chances. Instead of looking to strengthen the squad with similar players to fit that system, we looked to enhance and tighten up on weaknesses. We strenghtend our defence, and changed the dynamic of our forward line...making it more physical, with less movement and energy. We now have a back line, Midfield and forward line that don't suit each other. TBF...it's what the majority of sides have done in this league. They look at strengthening areas, but at the detriment of the footballing philosophy. It's individual strengths rather than team strengths. We've fallen into the trap of what pretty much every team has done in this league. Making it disjointed and mundane average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
