Don't think we controlled the game yet don't think they did. It was a battle and both teams cancelled each other out in many ways. We had the most clear cut chances yet think a draw was a fair reflection. Agree with Moyes

Low quality but spirited game from two tired and depleted sides who nevertheless put on a performance.

Frank is a solid coach and they’ve got some good players, I’d take Mbeumo & Wissa any day, Flekken came up huge when needed. Both goals more graft than guile.

Draw fair to all. Both sides can rue their missed chances and still feel fortunate that the other guys blew a couple too.

 

[Lineker]

I agree about the ref calling a good and consistent match. Let the players play and allow the flow to continue. Refs should pretty much be invisible. They need to help control obvious problems but not determine outcomes.

Players made it easy for him. If he was going for a badge they'd make him do another because this one was too easy.

Big Jake MVP for me.

Just watching the highlights the only highlight Brentford had was their goal

Bit weird ain’t it for a home team to have just 1 highlight

They missed an absolute sitter in the last minute of added time but BBC never showed in on the highlight programme.

Thought everyone was rubbish. Last moth we get wrecked though, played terrible and got a draw, result.

 

[kleew]

The lack of team celebration and hugs for Jake after his goal was surprising and disheartening. Anyone notice it?

 

[GoldenToffee]

Another draw that feels a little like a defeat with the number of chances spurned. With a better striker, that game is wrapped up in the first half. Next season we will have a better striker, plus a fully fit and settled Ndiaye and hopefully at least 4-5 new, better quality players.

As the legend that is William 'Bill' Kenwright once said, we'll have "Good times".

I cannot believe he overlooks Iroegbunam for Harrison or Jesper ,two of the first out I hope . I gave it to Tim in case he reads this ,he will know at least one thinks he deserves a slot in the team.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Not to be reading too much into it but he didn't exactly get swarmed by teammates there

Conservation of energy.

 

[Fralahna]

Thought O'brien was poor in the first half. Pulled it back in the second but for the full match, I reckon alcaraz always looked dangerous

 

[COYB75]

I’m okay with the point but like Saturday, should have won. We were the better side but it wasn’t Beto’s day, everyone looked tired, squad stretched thin, but still found a way to get a point away from home. The effort is there under Moyes. Keep it up, lads!

Over a week off now, hopefully they can really have some down time and then be ready to go for the next one. Tiredness shouldn’t be an issue. Doucs will be back and Chermiti might be an option from the bench.

great month and a half since moyes tookover. Secured prem saftey with threadbare squad. Hope they have a few days off in the sun. Comeback fighting for new contracts and to finish as high ss possible in the league.

Given the nature of that game, and the two fairly evenly-matched sides going at each other for 90 minutes, I thought there was a curious lack of fouls.
