100% correct
Can’t find any part of that I can disagree with. Excellent summary of the situation and wholeheartedly support all you’ve mentioned especially the last few lines. There is an element of support at this ckub that will never accept this manager or many of the players within the squad as being good anything or worthy of praise
Good piece Jim
The BIAS comments regarding this game, look more realistic and sober.
Smith’s constant reluctance to use the substitutes in a timely fashion, so they can have a fair and realistic chance to make an impact on the game, surely cannot be ignored, as it is in this article; those subs must be so demoralised at this policy.
Newcastle, didn’t have to hope for a penalty to win, they were just too together as a team and rode the BFC bluster; even with key Newcastle players missing, or going off, BFC couldn’t get a win, with home advantage.
Three points lost at home, that is poor, not a Pyrrhic victory.
NOT A BRENTFORD FAN . YOU DO BORE ME BIG TIME
How would Saint Warbo have done, please tell us.
As you weren’t at the game just do us a favour and don’t make idiotic comments.
When Smith bought Kaikai on v Cardiff and he scored twice, no one gave an ounce of credit to the timing of the substitution. Like many at Brentford you appear to have a view and will not veer from it whatever happens. Your prerogative I guess.
He only seems to want to praise the teams we play,(and one from Jockland) and criticise most things the Bees try to do do on and of the pitch. ps don’t mention the name Benham.
Sorry to say that having been at GP on Saturday and at most other matches that I’m not exactly in agreement here.
Few issues at all with Woods apart that is from his total lack of goals or indeed even shots at goal, very few with our manager DS apart from the matter of substitutions and that if Josh Clarke is now fit then he has to start.
However our 19 year old left back did not by any stretch of the imagination have a good game against Newcastle and I’m afraid that to me playing with Sawyers anywhere on the pitch has us playing with 10 against 11, the odd astute pass is nowhere near enough and the majority of fans in my view are spot on, just what does he bring to the team ??
Top piece Jim and unsure what game Frisbee was watching but obviously not the same one as us.
Tom Field had a great game and unsure why Josh Clarke has to start if fit, ahead of Jota, not likely?
Top piece – although I would add that, unlike a certain other well-renowned ginger-haired midfielder, Woods also makes some excellent tackles!
Brace yourself chaps,I think there might be bids for Woods this window.
Agree with the majority of points in your piece Jim. Woods has pulled the strings for the last 12 months although I felt Josh M was equally influential on Saturday and is beginning to show the quality we all hoped he possessed. I thought (and every fan in my section) that Tom had a brilliant game and will no doubt put up a fight for the LB position once Rico returns. Sadly i am not on the Sawyers Love Boat and find myself becoming ever frustrated with a player who does not contribute enough to warrant a starting place (and wouldnt start if Judge/McClean were fit). For every nice flick there is 2 heavy touches and 3 misplaced passes. Our tactical approach of controlling possesion and building pressure only works if we keep the ball. Happy to give Sawyers time to adapt to the pace of the championship but after half a season i havent seen any improvement and think it is time for Smith to try someone else in that role.
I totally agree with the article. Woods is our best player. He covers so much ground deffensively and is composed on the ball. I would like us to play 433 or 4231 so we have width. Playing with wingbacks is ok until they are left 1 vs 1 when they have the ball and space to attack. It’s not in their skill set to dribble and take a man on. I would like to see jota on the right and clarke out wide. Sawyers would benefit also playing in a 4231 as a no 10. That’s just my thoughts.
Really good summary Jim. And to add to it, look at Wood’s awareness. He is always looking around him… not sure he doesn’t spin his head! he has great footballing intelligence.
I though Sawyers Woods & Josh dominated the midfield for large parts of the game… and the reason Sawyers loses it in the final third is that he has the confidence, ability and vision to risk making the killer pass. Newcastle had 11 men back for corners!! We were excellent and not having Hogan almost made a few others start to blossom.
The one area for improvement I can see is to improve our performance against poor teams.
BFC lost, they didn’t win , they didn’t draw, at home.
“YAWN”
I’ve just today read the match report in the FLP and therefore I quote;
Sawyers 4/10 – Did well to hold up play a few times but was largely anonymous
Field 4/10 – Poor distribution,regularly beaten down the left and often out of position.
They must have been at the same game as me !!!!
Don’t you just love Football, play Jota and Clarke obviously.
