Bould was always a decent defender, it's just that we played him out of position, right back, most of the time. My problem with Wollscheid is his determination to get the ball, gives the opposition the chance of nicking the ball , all the time, way too ponderous. He is way to slow to play in English football end of, this shit that he is better at playing the ball out of defence than Huth is irrelevant if he can not win the fuckin ball in the first place, he whole defence looks so nervous when he plays, we have to hope that Muni and Ryan stay fit all season which at the moment does not look likely, our backup is now substantially weaker without Huth in the squad.

Meh. Nobody likes losing against so-called lower level opposition but, putting football on the whole in to perspective, the teams below us are essentially ready for their season to start and play as such. Their leagues start earlier than ours and they are obviously much more physically and mentally prepared - which always shows. Nothing to see or worry about here.

But that does not count, in fact he probably played more Premiership games last season the Wolly but that does not count, the only thing that counts is that Wolly was part of a defence that conceded the least number of goals since we were promoted, the fact he was dropped by Hughes at the end of last season means nothing

Results are not the issue, the issue is the personnel we have at this moment with the likely hood that we will lose Muni and or Ryan to injury our back up looks decidedly dodgy to put it mildly, in fact a solid experienced Prem CB must now be a priority a dilemma of our own making.

None of them stayed in the team for very long.

Not worried by the performance at all and I'm more than hopeful of another excellent season.
Only slight concern was the second goal which seems to suggest we still can't defend corners very well.
The fact that nobody WANTED to win the ball as it came across highlights our lack of aggressive players throughout the side.
We're a bit too "nice" and need a couple more vicious bastards around the place in my opinion.

I'd wager that most Brentford fans didn't think that the result did not matter! We should be thrashing teams like this with any team we put out. Very poor show!

I'm worried we could get overrun. Add that to the fact we cant defend set pieces and we'll probably concede a few this season.

We had a perfectly decent viscous bastard but some genius sold him, who should have been challenging on their second by the way I have not seen it. Selling Huth and seemingly replacing him with Wolly is one of the very few things I've not agreed with Hughes on. I am quite happy to accept (although maybe not agree) that MH didn't see big Robert fitting in here and had we signed a younger version, I could see the sense in it. We are now only left with one centre back who really relishes a physical battle and when he isn't playing we look a bit soft at the back. Given Ryan's back issue I firmly believe we need another commanding central defender as should the worst happen and our skipper misses a large chunk of the season we certainly aren't going to improve on last year's achievements.
