Brentford (H) 15/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Toti has been playing well but I'm not sure we lose much with Bueno playing there instead. A little bit of physicality from set-pieces maybe but the crossing would be much better

The physicality is REALLY important though, it shouldn't be underestimated. We aren't a particularly physical team. Especially without Dawson, Lemina and Gomes pre January

It’s true, there’s physicality and leadership throughout the spine of the team now. Costa aside we haven’t got a physical forward player either.

Fair enough. I haven't had to really thank our lucky stars we've got a big CB playing at LB yet though.

Hopefully Podence is taking notes and learning from Costa

 

[Wolvensam]

I hope we trust in the formation through this second half and don't start sitting back or even go 3 at the back.

Highly likely Moutinho will come on for Sarabia and go 4-5-1 if we are still ahead around the 70 min mark.

I think him and Hwang are the likely substitutions for the energy and intelligence they’ll bring to the press.

 

[The Bear]

First signs of being a bit too deep when we had the counter then. Nunes had to break his neck just to give Gomes an option forwards.

 

[Alan]

Raya's been quite good for them. Not sure I've seen him look so assuredly consistent before.

 

[Wolvensam]

Cunha looked a bit surprised the ball fell to him then.

 

[Alan]

Newcastle all over again!!

 

[Wolvensam]

They can’t deal with Nunes at all (things I didn’t think I’d be saying three months ago).

 

[The Bear]

Jensen got very lucky that Nunes was wide and going nowhere then.

 

[Jinky]

Ref an absolute puss there. Jensen should have been off.

 

[Alan]

Surely they won't fuck us over with this sort of challenge again.

EDIT: I'd say "unbelievable", but...

 

[The Bear]

Palace take the lead against Southampton.

 

[Lichens]

How is an arm to the upper body not a foul

 

[Jinky]

Oh my Lord, that has to be a penalty.

 

[Wolvensam]

That would have been a bit of a soft penalty to be fair. I just hope we don’t lose our heads now.

 

[Carsy]

Not a penalty for me actually on review. Thought it was at first!

 

[Carsy]

Yes was just about to say that, hopefully doesn’t turn into ‘us against the world’

Agreed. It was a little bit of a nudge but not really enough to overturn IMO.
