Bloody hell. Wasn’t expecting that.
We were really good first half and, although I think the subs were made too soon, I can probably see why he made them. It handed them the initiative and it would have been nice to have had more changes available to us that would have made a difference, but we didn’t.
The killer was losing against Barnsley on Wednesday. We needed to win one this week.

You can't just hook two players at half time because they are on a yellow! Its crazy management, both were doing well and we were in a good mindset and organised. Tymon is no full back and Brentford knew this, Cousins on by all means but for Mikel who looks shot to bits.
We all knew they would come out fighting but MON gave them a massive helping hand.

Tbf Thompson was awful anyway but if it was Allen he would have kept him on. |

It isn’t the fact we lost, it’s how we lost.
Frankly, you’re quite entitled to lose to the best team in the league (that’s not Brentford by the way) but far more to the point, you need to look at your own performance.
Apart from Powell (who was poor today) Souttar and Allen we’re staffed mainly by players who are really poor footballers playing well above their true ability.
Under O’Neill, who started off so well, we’ve become a truly boring, turgid outfit.
Without Campbell we don’t have a single forward capable of making a difference (Powell isn’t a forward although he’s being played there and Fletcher never was prolific and he’s always injured anyway). Don’t get me started on Vokes’s ability 🤬
No, we really are truly awful and surely St. Peter and the rest of his cronies can’t let this situation deteriorate much further.

Tymon is no full back and Brentford knew this, Cousins on by all means but for Mikel who looks shot to bits. We all knew they would come out fighting but MON gave them a massive helping hand. This is my main bugbear this evening. We did that well first half with the tempo that we needed the same players at least to start the second half. Bringing two players on into that intensity shifts the impetus to them in my opinion. Leave it for 10/15 minutes and see how it goes. You’d be making half time subs every week if you’re taking players off because they’ve been booked. RND only made two tackles and the second one was barely a foul. That said, it was what it was. A difficult game in which we competed until the end. I still don’t know what they really created, and we had chances ourselves. It wasn’t a great second half, but I don’t think it was a deserved defeat in all honesty. It was fucking frustrating, and you could see it happening, but I don’t know what would have made it better with what we had available. The subs at half time didn’t help, but they were always going to be better in the second half. It’s alright saying bring the young lads on, but that’s not guaranteed to work either. I just think it was, again, one injury too many for us to cope with. |

A different opinion I'm not confident that Norrington Davies would have kept his cool if provoked So risk having no LB available for some of todays game AND the next one (where probably Tymon would be selected to fill in?) If anyone then RND and Mikel gave them the helping hand No win situation for the manager |

No. Its the fact that we rolled over and had our belly tickled yet again in the second half. They are good, there is absolutely no doubting that but we chucked the 3 points in to their hands today! |

I thought the Manager was too slow to respond to their change of tactics in the second half.
We were struggling down our left side.
He really needed to change to a back four and take Chester off.
Saw why he took RND off I suppose but would it have not been better just to have a word with him to calm down somewhat?
Also too slow with his subs.
Finally brought Chester off. at what, 10 mins from the end and Clarke ,who I cannot for the life of me understand why he is not starting,was brought on.

Just awful last ditch defending that was eventually going to get found out |

They’re a very good side and we were better than them for a half. And then lost because of a worldie. Today was fine. Yeh disappointing we couldn’t cling on but it happens. |

Just awful last ditch defending that was eventually going to get found out I don’t see why anyone would expect anything else though, with a depleted squad? We ran out of legs in the middle, yes and it was frustrating to watch but it was hardly backs to the wall stuff. But for a worldie and some shite defending, there’s every chance we win or at least pick up a point. |

They are good, there is absolutely no doubting that but we chucked the 3 points in to their hands today! Did we? They came out all guns blazing and when they do that they play at a standard most midtable PL sides don’t play at. I don’t think there were any glaring errors bar starting Mikel and Allen together. And we lost because a good side attacked us and we had to make a change because the left back is a hot head. We still had chances in the second half too. |

Reading this board it looks like quite a lot will not be going next season while MON is still here.
Fickle fans once again. Good bye to the NEGATIVITY and moaners.
I personally thought this is where we would be around this time in the season. After last 2 seasons it's a total rebuild and with FFP and no mark players who are just sitting on there backside bleeding the club, his hands are tied. I am convinced he will start to get us going in the right DIRECTION. Injuries in key areas have not helped
Keep the faith CTID

If anyone then RND and Mikel gave them the helping hand No win situation for the manager So if Fletcher is on a yellow come half time v Swansea, do you hook him and weaken the team (by some distance just like Tymon) by putting Vokes on? Wouldn't happen. It was too early, at least give it another 20 or so. You can't survive on ifs and buts, what will be will be but keep your strongest side out there. Not too many games left and we needed something this week pointwise to keep us in there. |

Yeh disappointing we couldn’t cling on but it happens. we lost because we have a non existent midfield that reverted to the barnsley plan of hoofing the ball up to a non existent forward line so the ball keeps coming back |

Campbell is the closest we have to an Arnautovich type of player who can turn a game on his own, until he comes back we will always be a middle table team. Fletcher is ok but injured too often, Powell isn't a big enough threat up front, Vokes wouldn't get a game for Newcastle Town |
