   Well phew! After reading all of the post match nonsense written about how Boro should brush the Bees aside I looked at the current form for us (Boro) and then Brentford respectfully, I came to the conclusion that if we came away with a point I’d be happy.
   However after the first half in which we mustered 2 shots on goal one being the penalty to go in front we had been more than lucky, yes we raised our game in the second half but I think it was a combination of factors the caused us not to perform as well as we have been.
   1. A bit of a hangover from the City game that clubs seem to suffer once they’ve beaten bigger opposition in the cup.
   2. The transfer rumour causing the dream effect to a couple of our brightest players.
   3. And most importantly Brentford! The Bees played well especially in the first half and can consider themselves unlucky to get nothing from the game and I think you’ll be in the mix come May.

   Good luck from a Boro fan.

   Boro are in a special place right now, with a team that is totally focused and driven, and a manager who is destined for the very top. If we were confident before the game (just as we were the week before at Man City) it was born out of this belief and not any feeling of superiority as regards Brentford

   This was a massive game for us because we knew, despite the 4-0 earlier in the season, that you have a team that was one point behind us on merit. You can play, the atmosphere is intimidating, it was never going to be an easy three points

   The reality is that we can play better (which is not to say that you can’t as well) and we did ride our luck at times. Yes, it’s a huge three points for us because you’re a very good team and you’re right there in the mix

   Enjoy the rest of the season, don’t get hung up about size – all that matters is the team on the field and you have one of the best in the Championship
