    Yes I seen this last night and thought wow.

    This time last season we where bottom of most of these stats and top of the defensive bad ones.

    We have played more games than a few teams but even still.

    Top trumps!

    I suppose with Intensity comes more injuries and Fatigue which is why we have fit active midfielders.

    Willock is a prime example of that and Joelinton.

    The mistakes Brentford made were not lucky. We were really good at setting traps for them and had clearly done our homework.

    All about intensity really, we were pressing so quickly and effectively that they panicked and had no time to to think and made mistakes. A year ago with Bruce they were staggering around like stoned zombies with no purpose or energy.

    I never seen them staggering around. I remember them lying on their backs gasping for oxygen <laugh>

    When you are lead by a flabby mound of blubber like that, his sloth must rub off on them by osmosis.

    I wonder what their pre match meal was under Bruce....burger, pizza and a big portion of chips washed down with 5 pints of newcy brown no doubt.

    It’s fair to say Eddie is delivering something very few of us expected so soon.

    Literally a perfect explain of what we looked like under Bruce. I think fitness levels will have a big part to play here also.
