Similar story to all our other games. We didn't play particularly well today, but still managed to miss a ridiculous number of easy chances. Had double the number of shots than the other team. Some really selfish poor play from some of our players on the counter today, and we concede from a penalty that shouldn't have been given.

Don't think changing the manager would help (the things going wrong aren't really solved easily by a new manager) and we wouldn't be able to get anyone good anyway.

Season is over for us now - the run of form we'd need to get anywhere near the play offs just won't be possible. Just got to hope we can fight our way to enough points to stay up. I reckon we will stay up, but anything is possible. Missing Judge, Vibe and Canos doesn't help when you also sell your other best attacker on deadline day.

Be a joke if The Bees got relegated the way they play football, I honestly can't see it.
Very unlucky to get nothing at our place midweek, I was going to say something about holding on to leads, but I lost the moral high ground in the last minute..............again

We were soooo bad in the first half. A better team would have put us out of site (like when we were 6-1 down at HT to Norwich last season). Much better second half, but still come away as a point gained.

Easy to see the problems at Brentford. Great at getting to the edge of the box and looking dangerous, but they really don't create many clear goalscoring opportunities when they get into those positions. As dominant as they were in the first half, Mannone only had a couple of saves to make.

We're desperate for Yann Kermorgant to come back. It's clear that we're missing him, and we failed to bring in suitable quality up top.

I thought we created a few clear cut chances, we were just terrible at taking them (standard). Jozefzoon particularly at fault for missing a couple of one on ones, and messing up a few cutbacks.

Our biggest problem at the moment is while the opposition create even fewer clear cut chances against us than we do against them, they all go in.
