   I do worry about midweek games and their impact upon our resolve the following weekend. Our older players looked a bit depleted and lacked the creative spark that makes the Bees special to watch. I thought the 2-3-5 formation recognized that fact.

   I know Brentford like to give themselves the best opport4unity for every shot, hence their xg per shot is amongst the highest. This is good however if you don’t shoot you won’t score . Schade in particular had opportunities for first time shots didn’t didn’t take them I hope he isn’t being coached into doubting his instincts I seem to remember a game possibly at The Cottage where 4 first time shots were all scored

   Worrying thing for me is that we seem to be forgetting that defensive first attitude…it seemed to be a massive component of Frank’s coaching team. I’m not saying they are not throwing their bodies infront of stuff, but the fact we are conceding a lot of mistakes and being defensively a bit slow and frail, this is from a lack of understanding rather than some of the fundamentals not being there.
   I thought we might be a bit more solid, and a bit weaker up top – not both weaker! If it doesn’t improve, judging on the other team’s start its gonna be a battle down the wrong end that I hope we have enough for (we are a team that has played the least together and therefore has more room to improve).
   some games we look fine, other games we look hopeless..the truth is hopefully somewhere in the middle.
