Plus, whilst there's a few plonkers who attract a lot of attention on here when we're losing MOST posters are pretty reasonable. I think its unfair to say this place (ie a majority or at least a fair proportion) would be in meltdown after a win vs preston and defeat at brentford.

I didn't see so interested obviously I didn't watch. I followed the game on OTIb, so was interested to see that even during the first half when many fans commented that we played pretty well, contained Brentford and had chances ourselves, others were pretty damning about the performance. As you mentioned, a few were equally vociferous about LJ's half time changes and went on to be very critical of the second half performance, while other fans said we played well. I presume Brentford's follow comments were made with the benefit of seeing all Brentford's opponents this season, so if they say we were the best they have faced, then either their other opponents are really rubbish, or perhaps some of our fans need to take their blinkers off!

AshtonGreat Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 15 minutes ago, Up The City! said: Almost a quarter of the way through the season and we've gone 9 unbeatable, lost 1 out of 10. With injuries to arguably some of our best players, also let's not forget we have a number of new signings in our team. I don't feel like we have played anywhere near our best in these 10 games so I'm cautiously optimistic of what is yet to come. I genuinely think we'd be top by now if Afobe hadn't got injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 No meltdown from me. Did we deserve our point, no. Were we lucky to nick one, yes. Bentley motm without a doubt. We will play much better in future matches but lose some of them, just like we will play poorly and nick points. That's football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Semenyo is starting to give us a bit more mobility. I'm not sure if he's going to be prolific but Johnson isn't fancying Diedhiou so doing his best to give Semenyo a chance hoping once he gets a goal it will boost his confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 My impression watching on sky was that we looked ok at the back but toothless up front. LJ needs to work out what his best formation is going forward. Semenyo looked pretty anonymous to me. I honestly think we look like an average mid-table team due to a lack of penetration up front.

Many criticised Semenyos first half performance, and then they complained that we made changes at half time. You just can't win with some people. I thought NE was impressive when he came on.

GlastonburyRed Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 As ever, continue to feel that we are a goalscorer away from being a top two team. Great away point with a laundry list of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Haven't read the thread, but I thought we were unlucky not to get 3 points on Saturday and a bit lucky to come away with a point tonight. Things even up sometimes. Brentford did dominate us, but we made a couple of good chances in the first half and restricted them in the last third fairly well. For me, the half time substitutions did not help, though Semeneyo had limited effect and we were losing the midfield quite badly, so I understand why Lee changed a couple of faces and the formation. With all of our injuries, we have done very well to maintain our unbeaten run and still be in touch with the top and without those injuries, I'm sure we would be top two by now. Overall, very impressed with the way the season is progressing under the circumstances and definitely looking forward to every game at the moment.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 1 hour ago, Up The City! said: The Griffin park pitch is rather narrow, I think that's what makes it rather difficult to go there and play. Maybe the narrow pitch plays a role but they're a highly capable side technically speaking too. Fairly early in our lengthy unbeaten run last year at AG thru certainly belied their lower midtable position. Twice in 2017/18, they battered- I mean battered- us. Away game, late Reid equaliser was fairly miraculous. We were below par yes but they're fairly underrated IMO. Missing Maupay though. It's a good point tonight I think, especially with all the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was an even first half that we ended strongly with a good 7-8 minute spell where we passed progressively. I couldn’t believe the h-t subs personally....and the change in system (again). I can understand why LJ might think 442 (or was it 433/451/4411 I couldn’t tell) would help, but Brentford historically have loved playing against 442 variants and passing around the press...which was exactly what they did. We got a point, which I’m pleased with, but felt we got out of jail second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 How many games have we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory? How many ridiculous decisions have we had go against us the past 3 seasons? I bet you can't walk into LJs office due to the amount of apology letters we have received. How unlucky have we been with Injuries the last few years? Whilst we wasn't at our best tonight and Brentford were clearly the better team, I'm absolutely ******* delighted that for once something went our way when we least deserved it. The football god's still got a lot to make up for but I'll take that tonight. Oh and that was very likely our last ever visit to Griffin Park.

We looked hungry on the break and had a couple of decent attacks, but possession and delivery into the box was all Brentford for large parts of the half. I think their dominance just intensified 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsham Ed Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Two very tough away games against what I call our bogey teams, and walk away with a draw from each. I’m over the moon especially considering the injuries we currently have. Let’s move onto Saturday and start converting the draws to wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
