Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[eamonn]

I'm back to officially worried. No goals in two games and not a hint of one is my main concern.

The worried thread is from a bygone age when Peter W had clout on here. No need to worry no more.

As a club, are we starting to feel a bit sorry for ourselves?
Financial woes, bottling cup semi finals and critical last games of the season, selling ‘our own’, can’t buy any quality.

Are we a club that’s down in the dumps ?

You could be right there. The old saying of give a player an excuse and he'll take it might be happening.

I guess we do tend to look quite ponderous against teams that are happy to sit in against us. That's happened before. What gets me is that we look so uninventive. There was a point where Watkins, Bogarde and I think Cash were on the edge of their box and just giving it back to one another. No one willing to make a run behind, make room, etc and we go on until we recycle it all the way back or we lose it. Also the sloppiness. Rodgers and Onana were bad for it today.

Newcastle supposedly in a mess at home and a poor Brentford away, and we look hopeless in both and don't look like scoring. Kamara out with a hamstring would be horrific. We are easy to play against, and so boring to watch. Another weekend go give MOTD a miss...mid table season for us unfortunately

[RamboandBruno]

Monchi and Vidagany have blood on their hands for the shambolic way they've managed our transfer dealings.  Get rid of them.

That's a pretty tasteless way of describing things, even in the heat of a poor defeat.

Not really.  The message they've given all summer is "everyone's for sale".  Can't think of any other club who have a sporting director who actively tries to sell its best players for the smallest price possible.  No wonder the morale of the squad is so low.  They're both incompetent clowns and they need calling out for it.

You are very, very boring.

And unfortunately at the moment so is our team

Still haven’t found that quiet room to go and play with yourself??

What an absolutely fucking shit start to the season. Our strategy has been completely wrong. That starts with the manager. But the players haven’t played well at all. All round very very poor.

[London Villan]

When we win the ball back we are so slow to attack. They had so much time to get set and watch us walk around in front of them.

I worry that this is a bit shrewd.

Very poor. Ruined my first night out in Ibiza.
We simply need more in, the bench was so weak. Some players ( Rogers /Watkins) need to know they can be dropped when off it. And they are way off it. Torres is so slow. Okay him European games only ( I know we had no choice today.

In Unai we trust. He needs to sort this, with an excellent week from Monchi.

Difficult watch, for the third game in a row.  Something off regarding the way were playing. 

It clearly doesnt help that we have to weaken our squad ever season.  The jury is still out on last season and this season's signings - but it feels like we have let proven players like Dougie, Diaby, Duran, Ramsey and even Carlos go and the players that we have brought in havent made anywhere near the same impact. 

That combined with a complete lack of form from any of our forward players, Its not surprising the difficulties we had.

I can't see the team ever getting to your levels if im being honest.

[Proposition Joe]

I think the players and club are suffering from post traumatic stress.

I wonder if the impact of what happened in that last game v Man U had as much impact psychologically as it did financially.

Many of those players must feel very angry at having their dreams “taken away”.

Giving their dreams up so easily would be a fairer assessment

Yeah, if it meant so much to the players they shouldn't have been so utterly shit at OT. Only ourselves to blame for that.

[eamonn]

Urgh.

That was awful. Worrying start…

And next… Crystal Palace. Chuffing brilliant.

No worries. It will be easy without Eze.
