I thought the actual passes from the back 3 were of a better quality but a lot of it was pedestrian pace. The speed at which Brentford moved the ball around the back was much crisper than us. If we're going to play a style that relies on building from the back then we have to dwell on the ball...

They'd be idiots to when everyone knows he's on the 2nd lowest budget in the league. Fisher said himself we can't compete in the Championship. Robins gets a free hit this year (but that doesn't mean he's exempt from criticism for some of his matchday decisions) and even then he should be judged...

Technically twice then :p

I also think O'Hare could contribute more in games if he shaved his hair short. He spends an insane amount of time each game wiping that floppy bit out of his eyes.

Something else that would help too is every game that Bakayoko plays, someone needs to be in his ear telling him they saw one of their centre backs spocking his sister.

Because Godden is too slow to get in behind and Bakayoko played 15 yards deeper than him. Allowed Brentford backline to play high and compress the midfield as a result.

We had the best equalising rate by a margin but we were in the fewest losing positions in the league. I would say that had more to do with team spirit, fight and belief than any in game decisions/tactics.

Sheaf looked miles fitter today than vs Bournemouth. Gave the ball away a couple of times today when he lacked options but looked like the long term replacement for Kelly today. Thought McFadz had a good game too.

Robins has some wonderful qualities in his vision for the club, the infrastructure he's built, he improves the players he brings in and he's developed a great team spirit at the club. I've never found Robins a very perceptive in-game manager though; from adjusting to when a game isn't going the...

I do not understand the decision to start Bakayako, reportedly fastest man at the club, and then play him in the deeper defensive forward role. He looked out of touch and out of position and the knock on effects of that put Brentford on top from the first minute. Not too bothered about the loss...

McCallum for Giles now and Kelly for Allen after an hour. We got it wrong first 25 mins. You can't leave Godden furthest forward if you're playing 2 strikers with a backline as high as Brentfords. He got behind twice in that first period and they caught him up with in 10 yards. Knowing they...

I've guaranteed him 2 goals before half time with that though ;)

This'll be one of those weird games where we are all expecting a hiding and pull something out the bag.

This is one of the areas Robins frustrates me (I don't want him sacked). Against Bournemouth 1-3 down after 60 minutes and Bakayoko should have brought on as soon as the 3rd goal went in because nothing was sticking up top. Instead we saved our last sub for the 87th minute and brought McCallum...

And Walker too? I hope that's not O'Hare punted out wide. Bomb squad on the bench today!

Everyone was saying the same thing about Dabo this time last season too and he barely got booked in the 2nd half of the season. Unless he's a total idiot he'll adapt.

I hope he's been using the international break to show the rest of the squad how to take a corner.

Should have played it naive and eaten a load of dried fruit before refusing to leave the house because you're now full and have the shits.

Imagine the variables and consequences for next season too. Fans return for a 2nd season as a re-established Championship club back at the Ricoh OR relegation back to L1 and stuck at St Andrews for another 2 years. I think the underlying ground situation and the wider implications of survival is...
