Hopefully we'll do our usual 'be cack for an hour and then destroy them' as this is pretty cack so far.

I love Tammy but he’s nowhere near as effective pressing as Ollie.

Brentfords entire game plan is to turn the match into a used litter box. It’s their only hope.

Red card for them

[PeterWithesShin]

Brentford red card.

The injuries especially in midfield have really affected us. The chemistry isn’t there and with the changes we have had to make will take time to show the cohesion we had with Kamara, SJM and Youri. Having Doug back is great but he will take time to get back to his best after a period where he didn’t play well or frequently. Bogarde is a good squad player but he’s not a true difference maker. And even Tammy won’t play the Ollie role that presses teams back with his running off ball. It will take us time to get this together again. Time we don’t really have.
