They're doubling up on both wing backs & have an extra man in midfield as Sheaf is effectively there on his own. This can't end well.

This is dreadful, certain players aren't even close to Championship standard. Get Kelly & McCallum on at half time.
I actually think it's our formation playing into their hands more than anything so far

Too many players want rid of the ball, playing passes without looking, no one looking to play football, fuck i miss Walsh.

Yeh I mean, it’s last seasons league 1 winning team versus a championship playoff team. You can tell
Is this going to be the excuse every week? Oh they were the PL last season, Oh these were in the play offs last season, oh these were challenging for the play offs last season, etc, etc? No one is allowed to be a tiny bit critical?

Sheaf and Allen aren’t even offering on the rare occasions we do get the ball or Marosi looks to go short.

Again, we should be looking to go direct, they are pressing a lot and Bakayoko/Godden/COH could cause issues and there is space behind. The issue is I’m not sure who has the vision to pick those passes out, but when just playing off Bakayoko has to be better than our current non-existent midfield.

We have put a weaker team out today than we did in L1. It’s not surprise we are getting tonked like this.
And this is my point about being a bit disappointed that we haven't seem to have strengthened the first 11 at all in the transfer market.

In fairness both these and Bournemouth will probably be challenging this season. Though we’ve also been sloppy.

We’re going to lose more than we win this season. Always were. This game is basically a free hit.

If it happens for 90 minutes and we get a point it’s a good result.

Unrecognisable league. Brentford are one of the favourites this season for a reason.

You can tell this isn’t our strongest team as we have been very loose and so far, very sterile.

I get that but we’re even mucking up the basics as we did 2 weeks ago

Where are you putting McCallum?

LWB obviously, Giles has been awful so far, had that free header go straight up into the air, had the chance to control the ball and drive out, but sliced his pass out of play and got out jumped for a header he was 90% chance of winning. He's just not good enough imo.

Their wingers and full backs are overloading our wing backs. Might need to go to a flat 4 in midfield or play wingers to counter it.
