The only positive is that some of the pressing has been decent. Our defending is a shambles. |  |

Borja for Surridge, Naughton for Roberts and Kalulu for Byers.
NOW please. |  | | |

I don't think Grimes is doing too badly although we know he could do far better, but I can't remember who the other 2 are at the moment and I've just watched the whole of the first half. Enough said. |
Less bad than usual but some of his pass are hot harder than any of our players can shoot. |  |

They need to be beaten with the ugly stick at half time. |  |

That ball for the second goal was a nightmare to defend, there’s a few harsh comments on here.
We are poor though, no pace, going forward we are pretty much a non entity. Branford look a very good side though and miles ahead of us in terms of progress. It is what it is, f*ck it. |  | | |

Ayew has to play box to box in the middle - from as deep as he feels appropriate, driving through making stuff happen.
Tom C needs to sit deep in front of Wilmot/Cabango - doing a Leon.
Grimes to push on ahead of Tom C.
Surridge needs to be the energetic peripheral roamer around Ayew, working far harder to shut down and pick up Ayew's gifts. |  | | |

Borja for Surridge, Naughton for Roberts and Kalulu for Byers.
NOW please. |
I'd bring Borja on but push either Surridge or Borja back to midfield and get one of those light weights off. |  |

They have so much room on the left side it’s unreal. And they’re allowed to cut in and make yardage into the penalty area.
Contrast this with Celina at the other end!!! |
Celina is a very skillful player...sadly he has the guts of a frightened mouse. |  |

Brentford are a very good team.
Shocking defending for the goals. The first was identical to one we conceded against West Brom. Poor Wilmot and Cabango are having to deal with Brentford waltzing through our non-existent press in midfield.
In terms of our attacking performance though, I'm not unhappy. In the sense that we're not playing as badly as a 2-0 deficit would suggest. Celina is looking really good, and Bidwell is finding him and going well too. Grimes is doing less sideways and backwards passes. Surridge is getting into good positions but just lacks end product.
No idea what Carrol and Byers are doing though. Carrol did get the ball a bit more towards the end, but where the hell is Byers? Disappointing after having a decent game against Luton. Not sure if Roberts is solely to blame for Brentford attacking his side with ease.
I can see us getting 1 or 2 goals potentially, but I don't know how we will stop Brentford from scoring 5. [Post edited 26 Dec 2019 16:03]

This isn't much different to how we were playing in August. We've just run out of luck.
It's such a shame we've wasted this squad on such a poor coach.
This is what he's getting out of a squad with the likes of Andre Ayew. How many points do you think he'll get next season with a weaker squad? I'd be surprised if it's more than 35. |  |

Clear to see Robert's was being targeted from 20 mins on, if Cooper had a Brain then it would be to place Ayew up top and make the flanks more combative, andre cannot be everywhere so his best position today was up top.
As for our defending, absolute joke . Feeble is the best word to describe that effort, nice passing in patches but no end product, slow in deed and thought yet again.
I live in hope for the 2 nd half ! |  | | |

Gamble needed
Naughton for Wilmot
ROutledge for Celina
Kalulu from Surridge.
Only allowed 3 subs or I'd add Borja and Nordfeldt [Post edited 26 Dec 2019 16:05]

I look forward to watching the game and then I feel so angry at the way we concede it's hard to shake that feeling then for rest of the day We are left with kids who are not experienced / good enough and managers finding their feet At well | | | |

Let’s concern ourselves with this season first. You will have a point though. | |

Why have Celina, who is a goal scorer, taking free kicks etc when Grimes can also take them? | | | |

How long before Cooper makes a sub?
75 minutes, 80 minutes or 85 minutes and how many subs will he make whole game?
1, 2 or 3? | | | |

If you were the manager right now how would you get the best out of today's squad, esp how would you utilise Ayew ? | | | |
