    Frustrating day at the office for us ... lacked cohesion but not that surprising when Brenda keeps squad rotating ... another 5 changes from the Everton game and only one of the defence retained.

    Now I do understand his thought process... wants to keep everyone fit for the semi final first leg against Roma coming up in the week - but I'm not convinced by that approach.

    Admittedly I'm rather "old school" ... but I'm a firm believer in always starting your best team, unless someone is carrying a knock - that way you maximise understanding and cohesion and those connections and partnerships get the opportunities to fully develop and flourish.

    On the positive side, Vardy is back ahead of predicted schedule and got a useful cameo 20 minutes - just in time for the Roma games ... bring 'em on. <cheers>

    It's all just part of the sport and all clubs make changes for various reasons.

    Trippier, schar, Wilson, shelvey, almiron, Fraser Wood not playing.

    Won 0-3 above Leicester now

    Brentford have had 13 attempts today...the same number we have had in our last 2 games.
    They've had 2 attempts on target... that's 2 more than we've had in the last two games

    Got what we deserved

    Goons pretty much guaranteed top 4 now
    We still gotta go to anfield and be massacred <wah>

    If it means we both make the final it will seem like a very clever move ... but if we don't, it will feel just the opposite ... hey ho ... incredibly exciting week coming up for all the English teams ... times like this are what it's all about mate, and I sincerely wish you all the best and will be cheering your boys on from my sofa! <cheers>

    Be thankful you scraped a point today

    Brentford should have taken all 3 by the sounds of it
