Bloomers 1-1 Brentford

Wow we got bossed.

With Keogh and Warnock not adventuring forward we just invited them on, we're really struggling to get to grips with the system against a very fit and hard working Brentford side.

Martin seems to struggle in the 4-4-1-1 with the ball going over him instead of to him. We're okay when we have men behind the ball possibly defending too deep especially Bryson and Hendrick and we're very easy for the oppo to play between the lines against us.

Attacking wise we seem to have no idea or clue, playing the ball too quickly up for Bent, not able to keep a hold of the ball, part of this is Brentford being too good for us but we seem short of ideas.

Not sure how we can keep this going, we're getting battered and aren't composed enough on the counter to offer any threat. Possibly switch to a 4-2-3-1 and get some protection in the centre of the park, taking Bent off and putting Hanson in? Or maybe sub Dawkins for Russell or Ince just so we can keep a hold of the ball.

Warnock maybe try and gamble a few more times on going forward, him and Russell seem to struggle to play together at the moment. Possibly push Martin further forward for periods of the game and ask Bent to drop deeper and harry their midfielders for the ball, hoping Martin can hold the ball up better and bring our wingers into play.

Every time we cross the ball in open play a part of me dies, there's no target, aim or logic. I can see playing our possession game is not going to happen but we have to figure out some moves to open their defence up.

That said I reckon this formation will do well against lesser teams. Do we stick or change as a matter of urgency?

Ok strett I'm not arguing with you. The keeper has taken over 4 mins to take his goal kicks yet only 2 added on, that's time wasting in my book

Just wondered.

This is where Schteve falls short.

Pressure is on and he freezes.

I'm afraid Bryson is way short of his best form, he really hasn't had a touch and Pritchard ghosted past Keogh and Bryson before slotting it home.

I have to say that I have been impressed with Brentford. They have given us a lesson in football in the first half. Question is how do we change things around in the second half. Ah Dawkins for Russell...... Let's see, love Jonny but he's not been at the races today

And where is Dawkins playing?

Nearly put out of our misery there.

Already had a dabble on the Grand National, Cause of causes and Chance du Roy. So that's the kiss of death for them then!

Another chance for Brentford!
