Brentford (A) Match thread - positive comments only!

WE drop down a place and are just above Bristol C who climb out of the drop zone as Blackburn drop into it.
Dicko playing ok, stats and commentary say we're well on top but it's down to a tiny bit of shit defending, so we're not.
 
Weve been on top in many games under Lambert yet we have lost as we do not have a striker who will score the chances created.
 
Half time:

Ikeme: Can't kick and keep the ball on the pitch, takes too long whenever he has the ball. Not at fault for the goal.
Doherty: Not done much going forward save for a fluffed shot. As uneasy in defence as ever.
Coady: Applying himself well, but never a full back in a million years (as we know)
Hause: Has done ok so far. Won a few headers, tidied up well. Got a bollocking for Batth when they both went for the same ball, but couldn't tell who was to blame.
Batth: Won a few headers early on, terrible distribution, turned and made to look a total prat for the goal.
Saville: Has done well, putting in some good challenges. Can't pick a pass but then we know that.
Evans: Our only player who seems to play with his head up. Keeps things moving quickly, shame some of his teammates aren't on the same wavelength. Took a knock early on but seems ok.
Edwards: Total passenger. Fluffed a few headers.
Costa: Has the beating of their left back (who is now on a booking) but looks a little lost out there. I'm thinking it might be a case of #headsgone
Weimann: A bright spark amongst a lot of shite. Works very hard *and* looks to create. What a thought.
Dicko: Isolated, but doing what he can. This is mainly (a) Edwards' fault for not getting near enough to him and (b) Lambert's fault for playing Edwards at 10 when he patently cannot play there anymore.
 
I am always amazed by the comments my wife comes up with, as they are sometimes the bleedin' obvious which I miss.

Why would any player want to play well when that means you get dropped for the next match? Have a stinker, keep your place. Take a bow, Messrs Edwards and Coady...

Apologies, didn't notice Saville switch off for the goal. Consider his HT review diminished.
 
Fuck me Dicko. Just keep it down and you score.
 
Man of the match tonight Banjo.
Nice photo to start with to put all of this into its own awful context and then a decent half time review.
A very pacy attack from Wolves there ends up with Dicko smashing the ball against the bar and Saville coming onto the rebound instead of sidefooting it in, goes for power and lifts it high and very wide. For fuck's sake!
 
We now have 55% possession and have 11 shots...
Caught on our heels a couple of times in the last 2 mins but Ikeme sees that long range friendly lob ok.
 
Evans with a long throw and loads of Wolves players lining up and... aw fuck it, Keeper gets it and clears.
Costa takes it deep pulls it back to Dicko, slots it into Saville who guess what....?
Yep, Wide.....
 
loads of shots but nearly everyone is wide - just hit the target
 
Another long throw and for the 2nd time Batth comes up for it, but Evans gets it and his shot is fielded by some kid in the 5th row...
 
Costa now to Weimann but it's blocked.
Saville doesn't go to meet the ball and lets it bounce which loses him possession and Brentford are away...
Sub getting ready..
 
Hause to Coady to Hause, to Dicko coming back and it's out....
Cav coming on..
 
Cav on for saville. Good change. Edwards further back hopefully and cav at 10
 
Saville coming off. Edwards falls back into midfield next to Evans...
