Brentford vs Aston Villa LC Rnd 3 Match Thread

[Brend'Watkins]

Bogarde is doing okay, but I really hate him being part of the playing it out from the back when he’s facing his own goal. He’s guessing at what he should do with the ball.

McGinn and Elliot the pick

Harsh, he's only been here a couple of weeks.

[Monty]

Sorry to do this straight after a goal, but Guessand...I will be amazed if he makes it as a top level Premier League player. The technique is just not there and I've seen it in him every game. I know it's early, but I absolutely do not fancy him to do it.

Far to early to write him off
But he is rubbish

Haha.  Made me laugh. 

Yeah, and me, very good.

I've always felt John is, if you'll excuse the americanism, HNV's MVP.

[Villa Lew]

Still waiting for someone to get to the byline and put a decent cross in.

[Rigadon]

McGinn and Elliot the pick

Harsh, he's only been here a couple of weeks.

Larf.

[Grande Pablo]

Sancho doesn’t seem to know his role.  Otherwise, promising…

[pauliewalnuts]

Always good to see Curtis 'Rabbit in the Headlights' Davies.

What a disappointment he was, i thought he'd be brilliant for us, but that debut hung around his neck for ages.

he's not the only one

[JUAN PABLO]

two pens then If VAR - typical

[Beard82]

Half time.

I must say, Bogarde has been very impressive.
Maatsen has been decent.
Sancho hasn’t been wasteful

Malen and Guessard, I think Malen just shades it for being the crappest of the two, but it’s close.

Think McGinn has been good, Pau has also been good too.  Without ever really looking particularly good as a team.

Turns out 2 clear pens too ;-)

[wolfman999]

McGinn and Elliot the pick

Had to read that twice!

[Olneythelonely]

Not sure how we didn’t get at least one pen

[N'ZMAV]

standard of refereeing is lower than our forward play - remarkably.

[saint13]

That's just what we needed.

Impressed with Elliot, tracking right back just before HT.

Guessand looks like a baby giraffe, all legs, toppling over and a terrible touch.

Marlon poor, Sancho meh.

We haven't been bad but just nothing in that final third. Hopefully we have that bit of confidence now.

Guessand is like a puppy chasing a balloon.

Sancho is a cowardly footballer. He is too content to take 2 or 3 touches and roll it inside. We have too many of them already.

McGinn is at least leading by example.

Hopefully we can scramble a win against a very poor Brentford side.

Looks like the ref owes us one after those penalty shout replays ...Need to see this out to get us back on track .
