Brentford (A) 27/12/23 Matchday and Build Up Thread

[Elephant Pyjamas]

He was first choice not that long ago.

RAN has improved loads since then, and Bueno due to lack of games has gone the other way.

 

[Jack Regan]

Doc so far, given the ball away incredibly lazily twice. Then gets completely done by Keen-Potter. Bizarre sub when you're trying to hold on to a lead.

 

[Squeak]

Terrible Doc... gave it away and followed it up with shite defending.

 

[YoungWolf]

Doherty on the pitch is a big problem already

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

RAN covered the back post very well this half.

He really has.

 

[Haggstone]

Why does he keep getting g minutes?

Has he? Looked pretty good for our 2nd against Chelsea.

So did Doherty....

We’re getting absolutely battered here at 3-1, weird game. They’re unbelievably up for it and we look completely shattered again. They know they can still get back in this.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Thought he meant Sasa.

I did!

They've had 10 days rest to our 3. Always going to be a factor as the game goes on.

It’s a complete mystery how anyone can think Doherty is a viable option in the PL. He looks like the old guy who gets a ten minute run out on a Sunday morning as he’s been linesman for the previous 80 minutes.

Are we?

Just looks like a game where the away team are holding onto a strong lead and they can afford to throw everything at us.

 

[The Bear]

Come on ref that's a foul on JRB.

Ref has been spot on tonight tbf.

 

[Jinky]

What they do is irrelevant really, but they are on a good run for sure. Man City should score though.

More that they are in great form and we’re less likely to take points off them than Brentford.

 

[t3ch]

How is that not a foul

 

[Jack Regan]

Bellegarde currently offering the sum total of zip. Coupled with Cunha being completely anonymous since the start we can barely get out of our own half.

No other option really.

They look like scoring every time they come forward and we can’t keep the ball for 5 seconds.

I'd definitely think of trying Sasa for 20 mins to hold it up, and bring Neto on with him for Cunha.
