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) We were good but Brentford handed 2-3 goals on a plate which exaggerated the score. That said our press and intensity does force teams into mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply wouldn’t have capitalised on those mistakes with the lethargic, flat-footed approach the bacon lardon had instilled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We totally controlled that game and although a couple of goals came from errors, we were more than deserving of the 5-1 scoreline. I even thought their penalty was a bit dodgy.

Mee and Ajer are considered two of the best CBs outside the top 6, for ball control, they were both big signings for Brentford [wjen they signed Ajer without us even entering the discussion, it smacked of our lack of ambition]. the fact we put them under the pressure that led to 3 errors is indicativ of where we are.

Infatuation Junkie Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Great result and great atmosphere L. My sons opinion though. We are zero threat from corners or crosses.

This. Under Bruce, those goals never happen because we allowed teams to casually play it out and around us. I'm so, so, fucking glad that the days of us being a soft touch are well and truly gone.

STM Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Late to post but my thoughts: I actually thought we played better against Palace and Bournemouth at times. The difference was that Frank didn't play a low block, which is suicide against us. If you sit behind the ball and ask us to break you down, then we might struggle but if you open up and leave spaces we work the ball very well. They gifted us 3 goals but you have to take into account the sheer persistence of our pressure. In this league, if you want to play out from the back, you need to be bloody good or it can cost you. Ultimately Brentford had Mee and Ajer trying to play out and thats crackers in reality. Wilson should have had 2 goals today, let's hope he saving them for Old Trafford.
