The Mighty BRENTFORD 3-0 Aston Villa

[Tuscans]

Stood off them the entire game. Brentford looked urgent, snappy, on their toes and full of movement, the complete opposite to us. Until our lot realise that we're a big scalp ( maybe not for long ) and need minimum match their effort and hunger then we'll never get out of this league.

When you lose to a team whose fans applaud politely when they've just gone 3-0 up against Aston Villa because really Brentford are just their second team.

In what year will this downward spiral end ?

Well that was all a bit Alan Hutton.

For me the only highlights were sneaking a can of Gamma Ray beer in and the terracing. The game.....meh

[Clampy]

Awful, absolutely awful. Disappointed more than anything that Bruce didn't try and change it at half time at 2-0.

[frank black]

Weird how Bruce didn't seem to act, he seemed paralyzed or clueless as to what to do. Birkir should never have played the second half and we just carried on as though we hadn't had a break.. worrying

[ez]

FFS what a nightmare. Losing 3-0 to a mid table second division team without a shot on target  for the entire 90 mins, we truly are an embarrassment.
Mr Bruce you really need to work fuckin hard for Saturday.

I think we did have a shot on target in the first half straight at the keeper but yes it was an embarrassment.

[Chris Jameson]

Must admit i'm struggling to visualise us being a Champions League team in 5 years time.

Grealish really needs to look at himself and question why he cannot start a game when this shower have got in front of him.

How he was left on the bench for 75 mins when we were subjected to that horrific trio of midfield performances I will never know.

[four fornicholl]

Is there a worse adjective to sum up our performance than ABJECT, if not there should be!!

[DB]

Whole new midfield, and it showed. They need to gel...quick.

[Nastylee]

I had a small nagging feeling that this game was almost playing second fiddle to the transfer window. Think Bruce took his eye off the ball and got his tactics all wrong. Aside from the first 15 mins that was as bad as anything we've seen. Only Green can come out of that with any credit. Kod looked lazy and disinterested.

Hopefully, we can let the dust settle now the window is shut and get some confidence back. We need a strong end to the season so we can hit the ground running in August. Play offs are a pipe dream - any other team in our position wouldn't even be mentioned.

[villadelph]

Bruce HAS to take fault here.

This is a squad that should be on its front foot, not soaking up pressure and launching balls to Kodjia. He was clearly sick of chasing balls like a dog by the 60th.

Too much backpassing, too much hoofing, irrelevant/obsolete substitutions, ONE FORWARD against fucking brentford. Fuck outta here with that shitt.

[CT]

Well that was all a bit Alan Hutton.

You could insert any name at the end. Hutton tackled someone which is more than any other fucker did.
