Well that was annoying as we were marginally the better team and we looked comfortable without being brilliant

As ever.
No drive or belief away from home.
Cash is absolutely awful
Diaby as poor as he has been for weeks
Moreno and Ramsey playing like 2 players who havent played all year

Huge changes needed at half time

We’ll find this very hard. Gifting that goal is exactly what Brentford wanted, they’ll just sit deep now and look for the odd counter.

Well, that was poor.

Really?!? We were much the better team, look at the stats.  One bit of misfortune at the end of the half and they have an undeserved lead

Do you class poor defending as misfortune?

I think he got the selection wrong again.
This is a recurring theme away from home.

It's the same every single away game - he starts with something that doesn't really work, then has to correct it at half time.

We've fluffed 4 very good chances so if we leave with nothing it is what it is.

Cash, Moreno and Diaby can all get hooked at HT for me.

Who would you bring on for Moreno?

Early goal needed 2nd half or can see this drifting away from us.

We need an early goal in the 2nd half to have a chance to winning this one.  He definitely needs to change the team though.  Either play Cash at right back or don't play him.  Bailey on too please.

I don’t think we looked comfortable in the slightest. We never do away from home.
