cheers again RTB...

enjoyed that game, despite being very nervous afore the kick off.

slowly but surely the squad are 'coming together', think the addition of enzo with the 'go where i want' reinildo worked well.

keeper has already slotted into the fan fave position, hope he can keep it up, defence today were a few steps up from last season and last seasons were good.

still need to work on creating more chances but signs are good.

ref is probably one of the better ones and did just what we ask and showed consistency, starting to look as if ref's have been given a lot more say/control about fouls and are letting more go...can only be good.

my MotM has to be enzo le fee, really performed well all game and with the help from reinildo he drifted around a bit and looked like he really enjoyed it...not the best time to stand up and take a penalty but he did it well.
 
Difficult to get a sense of how we were playing as tv commentary/updates a bit ****e/vague

but coming from 1 down to get a win is terrific. Sounds like we played well without really threatening their goal until last 10 mins.

will be interesting to hear views of those watching live or otherwise.

we played well mate, as i said we need to be creating more chances but the squad are certainly looking more 'together'...some lovely passages of play and some lovely balls out of defence (mainly alderete) and i cannot really say any player was not involved, still learning as they go along of course so i feel they can just get better.
 
Excellent to a man

scoring twice against a strong defensive unit like Brentford is nothing to be shrugged off

RLB tactically outclassed Andrews today.

if I had to pick ELF MOTM
Agree about ELF. I thought he was outstanding all game. Most defensive contributions for us today.

Being banned wouldn’t stop you seeing it, only posting on it. It’s more likely you have that poster on ignore or vice versa <laugh>

Quality game that. Tell you what the CB’s were top drawer but Reinaldo was better again for me. I haven’t seen the penalty incident but he was great defensively and even better going forward. Was saying all afternoon these crosses into the box are wasted with Mayenda on the pitch, get one of the big lads on. Difficult decision for RLB in terms of who to play up top now.

Brilliant result but frustrating that we’ve beaten two better teams than Burnley and dropped points there.
 
Watched the whole game on DAZN España, best €14.99 per month I've spent.

Two equal sides who were tentative in attacking in case of a counter attack. We were not better than them all over the pitch, but we were more determined.

It was obvious in their play they had more premier league experience and we were naive in some situations, but we showed more grit, tenacity and willing to win.

Collins kept them in it with his important interceptions and interventions.

Again, Le Bri got the tactics spot on at home.
