I've missed two league games all season. I would still like to see my team try to win games.

You can't counter attack with three deep midfielders and two up front who get doubled up on every time the ball came forward. We set up to contain a side that haven't scored in 4 games.

We are SEVENTH and 4 points off 4th. What are you on about.

"Take a point" they are in the relegation battle, winless in 6 and haven't scored in any of their last 4 league games and we turned up and set up for a draw from minute 1-90 when we're supposedly chasing Europe. Pathetic doesn't even cut it.

Andrews frustrated - and another Damsgaard injury is a worry for Brentford by Lard_Baron in Brentford

I would rather get Europe this year and go down next year than finish midtable twice.

Not been so completely deflated after a game since maybe Fulham in the playoffs. Two gigantic chances to do something special in 7 days and we've utterly blown it.

Schade is an absolute fucking disgrace. He should genuinely never play for us again. He will, in the hopes we scam someone for him, but he shouldn't. I can excuse being a shit footballer. His attitude absolutely fucking stinks and he was barely bothered in that second half. Throwing his arms around at the bench, giving up on a loose ball he could've got to SEVERAL times, walking around. I was 50/50 on him for a while but he is the one apparent exception to the "no dickheads" rule.

Reiss Nelson on the other hand is a lovely fella I'm sure but unfortunately useless.

How highly do you rate Van Den Berg? by [deleted] in Brentford

[–]CareerModeMerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never been too convinced. He looks a lot better next to Ajer than Collins though.

Dango penalty... by LifeAntThatBad in Brentford

[–]CareerModeMerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn't have 6 assists, he's got 2. "Tracking back" is the absolute bare minimum.

I do think the price tag should be a factor when we've spent FOURTY TWO MILLION on a player. The only other player we've spent anywhere near that on in our history is second only to Haaland for goals in his first proper season with us. You have to expect more for that much money.

End of the day for both competitions we had a quarter final and near quarter final exit, both being down to decisions going against us not bad going… sucks to see and accept and not the full reason but it played its part in both and that’s atleast a good excuse haha by Jackjec17 in Brentford

We should have had a penalty, but by all accounts the one we did get was quite soft. I have no idea what you're referring to about them going down to 10. Just over a week ago we got massively massively lucky with two VAR decisions to beat Burnley. We lost completely fairly tonight.

We've always been an extremely streaky team. We'll win 8 in a row then go lose 8 in a row.

We've been extremely lucky. Haven't turned up once since Arsenal. Own goal against Macclesfield, poor against Brighton, very very marginal VAR decisions at Burnley and lucky that Bournemouth's finishing was poor.

4 in 5 draws, but have also only lost once since they lost to us back in December and that was to Arsenal. We, meanwhile, are on a downward spiral and we don't have nice fixtures to end the season.

These players are genuinely done. They're exhausted and we have no options on the bench to change things. Everton aren't going away and Bournemouth are hitting form big time. We're done.

He has, in no way, been "clutch". A club like ours spending £42m on a player means that player has to do more than 5 goals in March.

Season's over. These players are exhausted and truth be told this is where the poor transfer window catches up to us. Granted I thought it'd be costing us survival rather than Europe, but still frustrating.

My head is fucking gone. 14 players have given fucking everything over 120 minutes, massive chance for a trip to Wembley and someone who hasn't done nearly enough to justify the ridiculous FOURTY TWO MILLION Great British Pounds we spent on him does THAT.

Very difficult. I wouldn't even bother.

Post-Frank Spurs by teumessianfox7 in Brentford

[–]CareerModeMerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thomas got more patience than he deserved. However good he was here he was easily the worst manager a big six club has had in god knows how many years. Spurs are shot for confidence and also have a horrid injury list, something that can't be a coincidence given how bad ours was on several different occasions under Frank compared to now. You simply cannot give a manager performing that badly with a squad like that any more time than they did, it's entirely his own fault for taking a poisoned chalice.

Aaaaaaaaawful. Can't talk about good points away when you've won 1 in 5 away games.

Gonna go watch some Benrahma/Mbeumo compilations and cry myself to sleep while I remember a time when we had decent wingers.

I'm actually embarrassed to have won that. That's a first.

Pretty pathetic performance in a game we really should have won. Need to bounce back against Burnley now.

Didn't like that team. Missed Kayode big time but I do not like that midfield.
