Millenniumram Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 We’ve been a lot better in that first half than I feared 5 minutes in. Having Lawrence and Lowe back has made a huge difference. Our movement looks so much better in the final third, and we’ve been better at winning the ball back in defence too - as well as playing it out quicker and sharper. Final ball still needs work mind, and I’m still more than slightly concerned about our defending when the ball is playing in behind. It’s been too easy at times for Brentford to cut through.

Alph Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Much love for Lawrence. Well done, fella Evans caught for the goal but not crime of the century even for a real CB against a team this good. Bit loose from Sibely but he's looking lively with Martin now. And more organised defending rather than two players pressing and get bypassed by and ball forward. Might suit Waghorn but Martin pressing on his own is agony to watch. He's done really well from deep positions too Lowe and Lawrence, Knight and Bogle ?

DcFc Dyycheee Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Finally had a bit of tempo and urgency about our game and we scored. Shame we couldn't start like that. Max Bird needs to speed it up a bit, getting caught a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Good 1st half that, loads more positive from us. I fancy us to win this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 We would be hard to beat if we played the first 15 minutes as well. Unbelievable how poorly we always manage to start. Since then, very entertaining except the clearances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase116 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Think Lowe should be given a proper run in the team now, also think people forget that Bogle is only 19 and had only one full season and inexperience/ wrong decisions will still happen. Sibley is a major threat, runs at people, which defenders don’t like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still pick a fresh Fozzy in a back 4. We will need Forsyth at Cardiff who are more physical and play Paterson at RM who is very strong in the air.

Not sure who posted it though. Interceptions per 90, Davies and Bielik rank higher at our club with Lowe 29th in the league, and 5th out of all FBs (min 10 games).

You can pick on moments but Lowe getting better and he’s the one for me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Lowe could have been on his toes more and then missed the header nearly leading to their second. Evans needs to be aware of the space in behind him. We are putting phases of play together but just need to execute them more up the pitch. Birdy needs to get his head up more.

Ramarena Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Looking good. Brentford have come to play and that’s allowed us to play our game. Its actually quite a complement that the dogs and WBA came to stifle us, they clearly saw us as a threat. Just need to find a way to counter that style when it’s used against us!

nottingram Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I really don’t think we are a million miles away from Brentford. A proper left footed dynamic forward to play on the right and a bit of tidying up at the back but other than that there’s not much between us in general, and even at that we’re more than matching them today. And it’s worth mentioning that their GK and CB’s were all fairly pricey, certainly pricier than markets we will be looking at now I would think. Lots of positive passing between the lines is really good to see, Rooney been excellent at finding Sibley in pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKRam Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Yep it’s the hope that kills ya but we really can do these. For me Bird probably our worst player so far. By worst that’s not a shocker but we’ve stepped up here to show we can play seriously good football. Right cup of tea quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
