You cant blame the loss of Jarrod and Grosicki on this shower of shyte today.. it was woeful beyond belief .. there was an eagerness to cover the yards get close and support their players by Brentford .. we on the other hand were a fkn embarrassment to the shirt .. McCann is playing a 3 man midfield which isnt good enough to cope ..we have a back 4 that have no idea how to talk to each other or mark a man .. he brings on Kane to slow it down at 1-4 ? Tactically naive .. and tbh his tactics are NOT working ... I'm all for giving the bloke a chance but for God's sake man see the obvious.. and sort the fkn thing out .. that's what your paid to do. And if he comes out after match and speaks of positives and being unlucky I'll personally go down there and ram his words up his arse.
Well, that was embarrassing! Nobody comes out of that with any credit whatsoever, apart from Maddison making their keeper save one. Can't see that having Grosicki and Bowen in the side would have made much difference either. Having said that Brentford were good, no doubt. Hopefully that was one of those freak performances all teams have from time to time, we surely can't be that bad again, can we?
The only reason we were a championship team was because we had an international winger and a £24m goal scorer. The rest would look out of their depth in league 2.
I left after the 5th went in. I never normally leave early, that is about the worst I have seen in years. Shocking - Burke looked worse than a Sunday league player today, closely followed by most of the rest of the team.
If all the hard work done on the training ground produces a performance like that can I suggest they stop training. The most worrying defeat for a very long time.
Alas my masochistic side watched the full game and tbh I couldnt agree more .. clueless from the owners and manager down .. they are a fkn embarrassment to the shirt and the history of the club .. everyone who went today should get their matchday fee reimbursed by the club for putting them through that
Brentford are a different class, we surely can’t be that bad against teams in the relegation fight with us!
People who say Bowen and Grosicki wouldn't have made a difference are completely wrong. Brentford's full backs would have had to sit far deeper, their holding midfielder who have sat a bit deeper too, they wouldn't have been able to attack without worrying about us hitting them on the counter. We couldn't counter today as we had nothing going forwards at all. Would we have still lost with them? Quite possibly as Brentford are a good team, and we defended awfully but we massively lacked those two today as we just didn't hold onto the ball. There are loads of reasons we lost today admittedly, some from Grant but we massively missed those two players today.
What a difference a week makes. A disjointed, poor effort reminiscent of Slutsky days. The gulf between the teams was greater than last week too, Brentford looked great. Maddison and KLP are the only glimmers of positivity. McCann only ever plays 433, any team he’s ever managed. Expecting him to change things up during the match is a wasted hope. Like for like replacements only. Was trying to work out who our highest league scorer was in the starting line up. KLP?
The mental battle was lost well before kick off. Organization attitude and responsibility don’t cost a fortune. Sort it McCann. Allams OUT
Our defence was as leaky as ever and now with no threat going forwards either this was a predictable result
McCann is out of his depth here as shown by his signing L1 players and a 19 from Scotland as a goal getter. Time the Allams upped and left as they are draining this club to nothing, good job next games away as attendance would of been dire and so would the time, and if he says “we are where we are” he wants to shake his head a bit and Burnsy tell him this is your team and tactics so explain. Change of tactics needed and imo a change of manager who is proven at this level is required, if you are playing a battering ram up front play 44 ****ing 2 as tactics and have someone up there with him and alongside. Gutted today as managed to get me 82 year old father in law there today as he has been unwell and bad on his legs and not been all season and he even said “ don’t have long left now but I ain’t coming again”
