Shut up you clown

It was Tarks’s mistake you idiot.

 

[Swagger]

Need the half time whistle to come.

 

[Davideeyore]

Wow

 

[Bedfordblue]

Standard of refereeing is becoming quite depressing now.
That with Dibling deemed a foul (despite their player grappling and pushing him first) yet there CF can lead into headers elbow / forearm first and that’s fine.

 

[Bwana]

Got away with another there.

 

[Kantareller]

Should be 0-2

 

[preposterousvelios]

Garner right back Armstrong in middle I reckon

This needs to happen at half time

 

[NathDogg]

getting outmuscled all over the pitch

That little push they’re giving us right before going up for every header is really annoying

If the ref was even remotely close to being competent that wouldn’t be happening.

 

[larbert toffee]

Could do with him up front for us!

Brentford seem to have a good scouting network for finding decent strikers, we can't find one, they have a production line.

 

[Zezti]

McNeil running in treacle

 

[Paul Rideout]

McNeil looks like he’s running in reverse half the time

 

[Rita_Poon]

disjointed us, like a bunch of strangers.

thiago in again... we just keep inviting him in.

 

[lieneverton]

Unacceptable this.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

We just need better players on the ball
We’ve had some great moments already when Ndiaye, Grealish, KDH and Garner have linked up but we also have some players who aren’t at the right level

Same was true in the last game, though. Away from home we seem comfortable playing to our strengths. At HD it feels like we’re trying to play on the front foot, failing miserably and in so doing making the oppo much more comfortable.

I know fans want exciting footy but I’d prefer 3 points and not getting semi regularly bummed in our shiny new stadium.

 

[Neiler]

Can’t cope with their intensity, getting battered.
