Tom13 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 To put Grealish deep was a horrendous decision. If Trez was to come on it had to be for Guilbert who had an absolute mare. Literally a 2/10 performance and he stays on for the full 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing points to teams around is going to send us down as we get zip from the better teams. as it stands we are going to need points from the so called "better teams" we need some surprise results 25 points from 25 games 13 games to go - so if we carry averaging a point a game, (38) it will not be enough . Its going to be tight !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot has been said about him being a small cog in a big machine, and it's hard to argue. He's not done a terrible job here. Promotion was unexpected and to an extent he's been a victim of his own success, but Brentford have gone from strength to strength since he left. Yes we have by spending more in pre season on new players than in the whole time Dean was in charge and for the first time in 5 seasons not selling our best players in the January window.Thomas Frank is an excellent coach and has the edge over Dean Imho.

New_Hope Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Thank you Nylons for expressing the extra funding given in strengthening the team. So you spent more in the summer than the WHOLE time DS was in charge? Gotcha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be tight !!!!!! Logically yes, but the problem is we have picked those points up as we have played most of the lower half twice already. Our run in involves a fair amount of the top or upper teams. Which is why this game was so bloody important...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 The fact that we keep being able to turn over teams with a 10 man advantage is so **** annoying. You just know if we were 2-0 up and got 10 men we just bend over and lose to anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, imagine we will be back in the bottom 3 in a fortnight as I don’t see us getting anything from Spurs. Them we have Southampton, Leicester away and Chelsea at home. I can see us getting 1 point max from that lot. Getting something today was vital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree something today was vital but Southampton were awful 6 weeks ago, we’ve just got a draw from Leicester and then a win. I wouldn’t put it past this team to lose poorly to Bournemouth then beat Spurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting something today was vital. yup, our run in is: Spurs, S'Hampton, Sheff Utd, Leicester, Chelsea, Newcastle, Wolves, Liverpool, Man Utd, C.Palace, Everton, Arsenal, W.Ham. (Bold = top 7ish, underlined = top half, italic = lost previous match) Even being optimistic, how many points from this run in?....... 6-9 points maybe? (so finishing the season on 31-34 points?) we need a small miracle to get 38 points i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it over Christmas not getting results from those around us will bite us in the arse. To be told there’s loads of games left. Well now there isn’t, and looking at that run I can see 9 points at best. We are down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What 3 centre backs is it takes away one of the forward players, whether it's a midfielder or attacker. And basically what this is is damage limitation tactics with 3 at the back. Let's call a spade a spade here. We're going 5 at the back because we don't wanna get embarrassed. Should be 3-5-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
