Brentford v AFC Bournemouth

Another game where we threw points away. Should have been put to bed before half time. Instead we manage to create their equaliser with poor defending, and hand them the win by switching off.
 
Brentford well worth the win. Weathered an early storm and gradually took control. We never put them under any sustained pressure after that first 15 minutes. I think there were times when we went down far too easily, looking for a free kick rather than retaining possession. The last 10 or 15 we lost all shape, just random football.

That said I enjoyed the game. 2 good sides. We maybe had the better players, they had the better team.
 
Why would you take Lerma off and bring Gosling on. Tactically awful. We have better players but can’t transition between moves effectively. The passing out from the right side was awful.
 
A poor game really. Our defence (Begovic aside) was the weakest point tonight.

But hey, we lost 2-1 at Griffin Park in 14/15. ;-)
 
Not such a good second half for us, none of the quick movement that brought us the early chances in the first half and our goal.

Game could have gone either way and that second headed goal decided it.
 
Brentford are one of the three best teams in the division IMO. I had my doubts that we'd get anything today. Put it behind us and move on.

Begovic, very good, not the saves that you’d expect him to make, but the stuff I’ve moaned about ad infinitum for years... catching crosses, diving down for the drilled balls across his six yard box, quicker distribution, better positioning at his near post.

Yes we lost but nowt to do with him. Thought he looked very solid.
 
Good game of Championship football.....could have gone either way tbf.......in hindsight changing the formation to go with 2 in midfield was a mistake but at least JT was doing something to win the game rather than settling for the draw......Lerma was fantastic btw.
