Brentford V Derby County

[needles]

Easy to say from here on the sofa, but so long as we keep a clean sheet I'm not too fussed.

It looks a bit poor if we don't have a kick then capitulate second half though. Fingers crossed.

[KBB]

Still winning though. Take it at half time and regroup. Think we are 4_0 down reading on here.

77 passes & only 43 completed - I know there's only 1 stat that counts but that is very telling.  Be very surprised if we survive another 45 like that 

[Philmycock]

Is this the new Derby Way? Concede 83% and win? That’s Entertainment.

Well, as we all know, possession means Jack s*** in the modern game. We need to get it way more down to about 5% before we can claim to be a decent side. And don't worry, Gazzer is the man to take us there...midfield possession is very passé {pronounced pass-ay}

Reading this, makes it seem like we're losing. We should've learned our lessons from last week, and hopefully we'll see something different. only thing that matters at this point is that we're winning and lets hope it's the same at ft

[FunkyRam]

We're WINNING!

[RadioactiveWaste]

Its been a bit tasty.

We're happy letting Brentford have the ball rather than being under a lot of pressure.

Of we get another I think it'll be goodnight bees.

Fun to be on a terrace.

Ugly, ugly football.

On a positive note, Lawrence looks really bright again

I don’t mind having less possession, but we’ve done absolutely nothing for 40 minutes with the 17% of it we’ve had. You don’t end up top half playing like that.

Dowie on Soccer Special?

[PistoldPete2]

7 bookings in the first half??? What is this, kick boxing? whats going on? or is the ref sponsored by Clinton Cards?

Don’t worry, we’ll soon drag him down to our level.

No way Will it stay 1.0. Absolute rubbish. I reckon we'll lose 5.1

He will be if he's playing right back.

Reading comments on here without knowing the score and you'd think we were a few down at half time. I don't know if those commenting on how bad it is are watching, or if they've just seen the 83% v 17% and drawn their own conclusions but here's a couple of comments from Brentford fans...

"Derby are strong and organised and break quickly. Call it anti football if you like, but it looks very professional to me."

"Derby defending very well, came with a game plan and are sticking to it very well."

Other comments suggesting they've been very poor and look like 'relegation fodder'. You of course have the usual comments slating the way we're playing, described as 'northern cloggers' by one chap.

Fascinating how the same game can be portrayed so differently based on who you follow.
