REDOXO Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 ODonnell had a stormer! Such a shame we couldn't get over the line brentford had a lot of the play however we could have been two up if Bobby had just hit it when the goal was gaping. However good point which I would have taken at 3pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Worth going just hear our lot chanting you fat b4st4rd at Brentford after Tomlin scored, as they had been calling him that until he shut them up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiceRed Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Sat in the home end today. Enjoyable game, with a point a fair result. Both teams trying to win it. They probably had more chances but we looked good at times and surely should've had a penalty first half from Kodjia. If Kodjia learns to pass he'll be about the best player in the league...

leylandsroad Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Took me 2 hours to get back to bath, Brentford were very good, the winger on loan from Liverpool excellent. We were below par, done very well to get a draw. Strange subs taking off tomlin and Matthews but a very good point. Tomlin is bloody magic I think I'm in love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved our chant mind, 1-0 to the fat ba5tard Below par performance but for me could've wrapped it up if Bobby got the pen, looked stonwall to me although he should've stuck it in the net rather than be hesitant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 LJ says that was the reason pretty much. Scott Golbourne was a `contact injury` and Matthews a hamstring tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Just back, 1-1 fair result, Brentford looked a better team to be honest. We never looked like we were in control. A point towards our safety though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lymebayrobin Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 All in all a fair result. Just frustrating to save a penalty and then concede. Thought those last minute goals we kept letting in had gone for good. Both sides had opportunities to score but wasted all but one each. You could see why both teams are where they are. Nice to be able to have a drink in a pub a minutes walk from the away end and then stand on the terrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatalist Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Am I the only one who thought we were much too deep, just hanging on and not having enough targets to clear it to. Also, how many times did we leave their wide men in acres of space, only trying to close them down once they had got the ball under control and started a run? Far too many crosses coming into our box. Eventually one was bound to go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 They looked a solid side, their number 6 and number 12 had brill games, dunno who they are though! Thought both sides had a few good shouts for pens, but will always take a point away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult for matthews to mark two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsham Ed Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I thought we we were lucky to get a draw. We were well below par, Brentford carried more of an attacking threat. ROD was my MoM outstanding with 4 excellent saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was even a bloke giving out free tea by the ticket office. All wrapped up with a bit of sunshine after the game. Shame about the result . Think we deserved three points on the strength of those two penalty shouts alone. There cant be many football grounds that are better to visit . What a contrast with mkeynes!

I thought it was much closer to being finished than that - it seems to have been talked about for years. Bit like the gas I suppose with the obvious difference that Brentford will actually get a new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too many crosses coming into our box. Eventually one was bound to go in. Exactly how we saw it. Right from the off we were on the backfoot and that's how the game was played. We certainly missed Wilbs to aim at never mind him being able to hold the ball up and take a few knocks. I looked at the bench and wondered who we might change, maybe Wagstaff might have had a run at them, but really there wasn't too much there. We looked much weaker when Tomlin went off, but he was so wide most balls out to him went out or were mopped up easily. We seemed to be always losing the ball ,and then trying to get it back from a lively Brentford who were able to find ways through easier than we could. At 3.00 I was happy with the prospect of a point, by 4.45 I was delighted. Felt like we had lost on the whole though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLK Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I thought it was a very enjoyable game which we (Brentford) shaded, but a point was probably a fair result. Your keeper was excellent, best performance I've seen from a visiting keeper all season. Ref was awful. How he didn't send Barbet off for the first challenge on Kodjia outside the box and then didn't give a penalty when he got nowhere near the ball 5 mins later was ludicrous. I saw someone elsewhere mention that you should have had two penalties, just wondering what the other one was for? Barbet made two other challenges in the box but looked to me at the time and on the highlights that he got the ball. I think both teams are quite similar in that we look dangerous going forward but very shaky at the back. Lead to a good, open game and I look forward to the next one.

I think they might be referring to Bobby Reid in the second half after your keeper had made a mess of his clearance. Although your player won the ball I felt that he had to shove bobby in the back first to do so. However if Bobby had just tapped it into the empty net we wouldn't be debating this.... A pretty fair assessment of the game. It felt like we were hanging on for long periods, especially in the second half, but we were still carving out clear chances for ourselves. I have to say that I enjoyed watching Brentford and think you have had a decent enough season considering the amount of outgoings you had in the summer... although I'm sure you might feel differently having done so well last year. It would have been interesting to see how it would have panned out if the referee had bothered to do his job first half, but at the end of the day I would have been happy with a point before KO and if you had told me in January we would be 10 points clear of danger with 4 games to go- i'd have bitten your hand off!!
