Brentford 2-2 Wolves - Verdict Thread (16/03/26)

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I think the only 2 players who will DEFINITELY be here next season are Armstrong and Bentley.

 

[Kenny]

I think Bentz will go.

We are probably going to be stuck with PTJ, so no need for him. We will put the 14 year old in his place

God, he does seem like he’d drive one of these:

Is Bentleys contract expiring?

 

[Kenny]

Has another year i think but I can't see him sticking around to be back up in the Champ.

Will go for some 1st team playing time or do what he is doing now in the Prem.

Only fair after we spent months ruining our own

I also don’t agree he’s setting us up to be negative. The plan is the same it’s been for a while now, try and get Bellegarde and Mane on the ball behind their midfielders. Sadly Mane was poor/not that good (delete as appropriate) and Bellegarde isn’t that good. Then after that it’s try and release Jackson and Hugo. The former can’t cross and the later rarely tries, and even if they do there’s limited options in the box.

So for me I’d be looking to get an extra body forward by playing a back 4, and as last night proved, having an extra body in their made no difference.

I also think one of our better attacking performances was palace where Armstrong was dropping off and picking it up in the pockets. So i’d be looking to repeat that in some way, whether it would be 532 or a 4231 if we wanted to be braver.

“You mean we can make other teams feel like this? Well shit, man, why didn’t anyone tell us?”

We're months in and I'm still none the wiser as to what Handsome Rob's style of play is or what he wants us to do.

He's instilled a good deal more fight but that's about it.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Well, his style of play might be 442 wingers, but we don’t have any so he’s doing what he feels is the best with what he has available.

I feel any attacking option is limited with the players available, but I prefer that given we’re going down and aren’t setting an embarrassing record, we have some freedom play with some kind of back four now which surely is what we’re more likely to set up with next year.

He's instilled a good deal more fight but that's about it.

While he’s looking at the legendary bad hand he chose to pick up, he’s now got a mini break and zero pressure to produce something of note in the last few games. Obviously if it was me I’d be potting him if there is no sign of a plan then. But I understand formal procedure is to wait until late November.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We also aren't playing anyone who's particularly good for the rest of the season
