Table not a pretty sight at the moment but hope the return of our missing gems will spark us back to life. Some winnable games coming up after the break that we really have to start winning. We are bound to ultimately lose ground with draws irrespective of hard fought they are. Pontus a colossas again today. Alioski and Ayling very poor and Harrison promises so much. Impressive debut for young Clarke though
I think we'd all have taken 3rd spot after 12 games and losing so many first teamers. I think the knocking of some of our players is bad form. We lost 2 points because of an official who was out of his depth. With this break coming up, it means our injured will have more recovery time and should be ready to come back. I also think we've played some difficult teams in the past 4 weeks.<ok>
 
I’d have taken 3rd at this stage of the season if offered it in August. If you told me we’d be missing two first choice strikers and our biggest creative influence for half that, I’d definitely have taken it. Last two performances haven’t been great but we still took 4 points, and we can’t carve sides up every match.

Some off colour individual performances today, but Brentford are a good side. We’re judging performances against a high bar at the moment, which is fine, but perspective is needed.
 
Just thought Brentford had that extra muscle that with the exception of Phillips and Klich our midfield struggled to deal with.
Saiz, Alioski and Harrison were kept too quiet by them today, when Saiz isn’t on form it’ll be interesting to see where Izzy Brown will slot in, I’d assume straight swap unless Hernandez comes more central

Just say it as I saw it. My opinion. Nothing more nothing less

Spot on<ok>
 
Brentford are a good footballing side so to fight back showing immense character & determination to gain a deserved draw after all the cheating, gamesmanship & spoiling tactics is nothing short of remarkable when you consider our weakened line-up & half the team's performances way under par today

Positives
Jansson's immense faultless performance.
Pontus back on the scoresheet.
Clarke's impressive debut for one so young.
Alioski's excellent 2nd half performnce, our new LB.
Better from our substitutions today.
Last season we'd have lost that match.
The spirit of this squad under such adversity.

Negatives
Cheating referee, he may well hide behind the security staff, an absolute disgrace.
Brentford's diving, feigning injury/gamesmanship antics.
Cooper and Ayling - Brentford's best players apart from the ref.
Pontus rage that will cost him financially as the Football League will do their utmost to protect their cheating inept referee. Good on Pontus for confronting the FL & Sky telling the truth.

07 Peacock-Farrell
03 Ayling
10 Jansson MOTM
05 Cooper
04 Dallas
07 Phillips
04 Harrison
05 Saiz
06 Klich
08 Alioski
07 Roberts
Subs
06 Baker
06 Forshaw
07 Clarke

0 Referee - Simpson is his name, should be banned from refereeing in the championship until he becomes competent at this level. Hope not to see this clown at ER again.
