They are just better than us all over the pitch. This is a good championship side, not a bottom feeder. Yes but we're winning and the secret of a successful team is to win matches against the odds. Brentford must be climbing the walls in the dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Great strike by Brownhill, but him Patterson, Reid and Diedhiou need to take better options, Reid and Diedhiou’s first touch is so far poor. Although playing OK Pack’s yellow card is a worry because you know the chances are he will commit another foul at sometime. We are sitting far too deep, I would consider O’Neil for Patterson at halftime to shore up midfield. Baker and Wright so far superb. Fielding has made some good saves but is a nightmare with the ball at his feet. We need that 2nd goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we have learnt something. Hang in there, play it tight and let them run themselves ragged. Exactly. They'll be in the dressing room right now thinking "How are we still 1-0 down??" and that frustration could play right into our hands. Go out fresh for the second half, maybe with a change, maybe not, and frustrate them even more by keeping more of the ball. Fingers crossed and all that.

Lew-T Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I watched the last 20 minutes online. Wish I didn't, it wasn't good viewing! We're not defending from the front, need more from Famara and Bobby to drop back in. We couldn't keep the ball, far too many aimless balls down the flanks to no avail. Just need to be calm when we're in possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSEL85 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sky bet had Brentford to win at 4/1 at half time. It's a filthy bet but a ten spot has been placed. Insurance money should the worse happen. Much rather 3 points for us.COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admire the optimism, but if we're as under the cosh as it sounds, it's a matter of time. That would be my bet for a half time team talk. Keep doing what you're doing lads.

LondonBristolian Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 if it was down to me - and I think we can all be thankful that it is not - I would change shape. Either Hegeler as a 3rd cb or sitting deep in a midfield three. That would reinforce the middle and allow the full backs to defend the flanks a bit more. Individually I think we are doing okay but, as a system, players are getting exposed too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
