The reason Brentford looked good was because we allowed them to. They've been poor recently scoring one goal in their last four games after drawing two ( both 0-0 ) and losing two. They were even booed off the pitch last week after a defeat at home to Barnsley. We are the gift that just keeps on giving and did so again tonight. Starting with our starting Xl. Once again JFH persists with playing Cousins on the right despite having two dedicated right sided wingers in Wszolek and Shodipo. It hasn't worked once yet he still keeps trying it along with one up front at home. Brentford showed tonight what you can do if you play two out and out wingers if you play one up front as they did with Hogan. You stretch the defence that creates the space to create chances. Something that we've been lacking with the odd exception this season.

Why throw an unfit Jack Robinson into the mix of a West London Derby after being out injured so long and having only two 45 minute halves of football under his belt. He was obviously unfit as he was often out of position and kept misplacing the ball when he attempted to make a pass.

JFH is not making the correct decisions before the game and he certainly didn't during it. Try and work this one out ... He took off our left back (Robinson) and put Wszolek on who's a right winger. He then moves the wide right player (Cousins) to right back and moves the right back (Perch) to left back? Despite having a dedicated left back (Hamalainen) sitting on the bench!!! Where did their second goal stem from? Yes indeed.

As for the game, we made Brentford look so good they may well change their name to Brentfordalona. We didn't create a meaningful chance until Sylla's header at 80 odd minutes in but the game was gone by then. It tells you the only thing you need to know that the only quality player in our squad is our keeper.

Meanwhile Jimmy's mystery machine continues to plod along and the natives are getting restless. Four different groups of people, all season ticket holders were saying that they were struggling to even bother turning up anymore. They have better things to do than watch this dross after spending two and half hours travelling each way. And that was before Brentford had even scored their first.
I couldn't agree more. Brentford are not world beaters, we made them look like they are. I have said it before, and I will keep on saying it, JFH has to go. What sickens me more is the fact that whilst he is one of the best players I have seen wearing the hoops, I think Sir Les has to go too.

That's an excellent post, Nines

Top Post Nines and sorry I missed the chance to catch up with you last night, however you know us and pubs. :emoticon-0167-beer:
Following on from your post is that JFH did the same with Cousins as with Robinson in that he is out injured for some time and walks straight back in the team? I complained last night that Cousins looked slow and was doing nothing only to be told by another fan that he is not fit yet? <doh> My reply was "why is he playing then"?

We were second best in every department and slower. We have a very poor team and its Jimmy's team.

My night was summed up by my 10 year old daughter who at the end turned to me and said

" Even we play with more tactics and more commitment in our school basketball team, daddy....."

I actually didn't have an answer to that........at least she enjoyed the Sausage and Chips down the Crown & Sceptre.
Nice one Staines. :emoticon-0148-yes: My boy gave up his season ticket some time ago because he got bored of the crap football.

If your daughter wants to take over from Jimmy Fraud then she'll have my vote.
 
Why can't all the Jimoaners just accept the manager we have and move on? Yes, the decision to appoint him was a bad one, but you don't always get the result you want.
Because unlike the referendum we didn't get a chance to vote him in or out and unlike that there are no signs of improvement.
 
Losing fans by the week club can do one like so many wnt be goin till he's gone!!
 
It was truly awful last night, horrible schoolboy hoofball. We were as bad as I have seen. JFH will rightly take a lot of stick from the crowd and it will soon turn increasingly nasty (as it did with CR) if these performances carry on.
