AJ9 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Absolutely magic day that! Little lad had a great time (even though we had to give up at half time). Our Bruno flag brought him good luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going from where we were to where we are has taken it's toll with short-term injuries, no doubt, but thankfully our hopes are not pinned on eleven [nevermind one] purple players staying fit or the entire season.

GlenMag Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Decided last minute to go this one, by last minute I mean I was playing in a darts tournament in Ireland at 12.30 this morning when I decided fuck it, I'm coming over, I'll probably have to work til I'm 75 to get back what I spent on flight and hotel, but I'm that euphoric I've just ordered myself one of them £100 charcuterie steaks or whatever you call them. Fantastic performance, could have been a different game if Pawson thought Toney wasn't interfering mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams, like Brentford [lower to middling, but ambitious to stay there], trying to keep up with the modern game, have invested in defences that are comfortable on the ball and we just destroy them.

Charcuterie means cold cooked meats so it's probably something a pretentious restaurant would charge £100 quid for, and some mug would buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 They remind me of Swindon but with players good enough to get away with it. Were so consistently vividly the better team in most games (Brighton, Man City, Liverpool the exceptions this season) - that's all the control the coaches can have, if were handed some goals by Brentford and robbed of them in other games is football being football.

geordie_b Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Looking forward to watching this again tonight as can’t work out if we were actually any good today. Initial reaction coming out the ground was that it was the most meh 5-1 I’ve ever seen (Reaction probably not helped by Gateshead being in gridlock pre game and missing kickoff. Ridiculous idea to rearrange the junior GNR events for a match day and close the quayside roads on both sides) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Another match that felt alien but in a great way. You look at the score and you think it's a thrashing, but Brentford weren't bad at all imo and we weren't in top gear. That's not arrogance or a backhanded compliment, or saying the scoreline flattered us or anything either, it was just one of those matches. We played really well and deserved to win, the way we press and dominate possession is a joy to behold and puts much less pressure on us to make the right pass and take chances because we're so good at winning the ball back that you know it's in us to go time and again. I love the way we play, I think I can see what Howe has in mind for us and it's exactly my type of football. Love it. Edit: Watching it back again, Brentford weren't bad but Raya was Almiron's goal and the O.G were largely about us forcing it to happen.

It's as though Howe is the first to recognise how to beat the modern game [which DIES sound arrogant[. I just struggle to balance this with where we were a year ago. When last season concluded, I didn't think for a moment we could continue our form from the second half of last season. Like others, I thought we needed 11 new players to maintain our credibility [if not points] but we've actually built upon it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
