Yes, but when we do, a lot of them are crap !

Unfortunately there is a lot of truth in that @slartibartfast

[Super]

Edwards has to do better there

Not his natural position tbh.

They are a better side than us though, clearly.

Understand that, but he’s been about enough to know to keep the player on the outside. They are a class team though.

[Fordy62]

Yes. Wells time. 

Time. To. Get. Angry. 

[Slack Bladder]

Remember the days when we used to be a second half team?

 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Good to see Pato back

[WarksRobin]

Oh no edwards....

Good shift but he was done about 15 minutes ago. Shame the head coach couldn’t see it

He’d be awful for us 

Even if we played Messi out of position, he'd still be a better option at left back...

[Lrrr]

Massengo casualty of the change of shape seemingly but our best player for me

[Slippin cider]

Pato Wells and Palmer on

[cidercity1987]

Edward's definitely looks like a ringer but then so did Semenyo two years ago

Not signing a left back is showing up hard today. 

If we keep playing Mariappa at left back will be insane. Hasn't got near to stopping the cross on both those goals. offers nothing going forward,like a fish out of water.

[daored]

**** of dean , seriously massengo has been fanatic tonight

Really poor - he doesn’t look good enough at moment to me. Maybe one for the future.

I think this shows where we actually are, Brentford are a class above us, so classy on the ball, runners everywhere, technically a class above as well.

At times we have done okay, but the gulf in class is there for all to see.

Yes Bill. A very bitter pill to swallow.

I do!.....remember the 2-2 draw with Leeds with the goals coming in the last 4 mins?

Could even get Bristol rovers messy

No. Rovers were out of the game after 17 (SEVENTEEN) minutes. We have competed well for an hour.

Just seen the substitutions....this is ******* suicide and stupidity.

[sh1t_ref_again]

**** me we are going to get murdered now

Good side Brentford but 2 very fortunate goals i reckon 

Said the same thing. Two goals where the ball has landed to the right player. Fair play though as you make your own luck over a season. 

[Red Exile]

Subs too late? Throwing all the attackers on again!

[Ivorguy]

I am so old I can remember the time we were a two halves team

We must be banking on Dasilva returning soon

[Bas's perfect hattrick]

At times we have done okay, but we are a long way short of this Brentford side.

Agreed, it's a fair reflection that Brentford are auto-promotion contenders and we are very much a mid-table side

[cidercity1987]

No centre mid on the pitch, Deano strikes again

[Bassomylord]

Run and hope.

Way to late, horse has bolted

[RedEd73]

HNM been our best player thus far. Swapping him for Palmer could be tactical suicide

[Mihai]

We are a poor team. I mean, a top, bottom half team. The manager may be bad. But you can't do well with a player like Famara. He is not at this level, poor ball controll, poor passes poor heading also despite his height.

The defense is not that good also, in the midfield we miss that Nr.10 for ages. I am happy that we stay up this season. 

I won't have playoffs expectations from now on. Maybe only after half of this team will change and we will invest in something good.

Have fun Steve, your ambitions are only on paper.

About 10 minutes too late.

Agreed, a bit out of his depth. But tbf he's up against tough opposition
