Thoughts from the game

I was at the game again to day. First off, it was a performance that told me that Ange still has the dressing room, the players are still with him - so a big positive. The response to the goal against was superb.

I did feel it was more of the same though, loads of missed chances, too open at the back and Vic is a great shot stopper but does not instil confidence and loves a mishap.

Son, despite 2 assists, seemed a bit subdued to me today - I still can’t believe he tried to round the keeper rather than shoot.

Great to see big Dom get off the mark, proper tossher article about him on here this week. Brennan with a great finish - fans poured love on him today, which was great. Maddison was brilliant and Kulu was decent also.

Defence - Vic was a real weak link today, great save from the header but he did not instil confidence at all, dicking around and nearly getting caught out, handball that the ref and VAR somehow missed but everyone else in the ground saw, punching a couple of crosses that my dog could have caught.

Overall we’re far too open and a better side would have scored more today.

Brentford couldn’t live with the press - loads of turnovers and we made enough of them count.

Overall very good today, we should win comfortably on Thursday but Ange isn’t out of the woods yet, he needs positive results from the next 2 in the league. The players are definitely with him though, so he has every chance.
