" IT WAS A GOOD FIGHTBACK BUT A BIG BUT "

Sat Dec 20, 2014 6:01 pm

It was a good fight back in the second half but lets be honest here the first half tactics were poor, some of the players performance were lethargic, we were second best, why couldn't Slade see that Pritchard was running the show and most of Brentfords threat came through him.

Why didnt or couldn't Slade change the tactics from his technical area in the first half ?

We can be positive about the second half performance but we should never have got ourselves into a position of trailing 3-0.

Too many games now that we don't come out in the right manner to start the games and unless this changes then we will always be chasing games and getting very little in terms of points.

We rode our luck against Watford, were fortunate against Reading, were awful away to Bournemouth, were just as bad but scraped a point at home to Rotherham and today just continues the worrying trend.

I have little faith in what I have seen so far this season and I am honest I am not expecting much from the season anymore.

Too much positivity thinking at the start of the season and not much realism from most.

I saw nothing in Ole and regardless who he brought in I just felt it was going to be a waste of time. Ole was a disaster and now we find ourselves going in a different direction. Tan now wants to do us on the cheap and he will set us up for that. I believe mid table is his aim because he wants the books balancing.

I have given up on us getting anywhere for at least another 2 seasons. If we are still in the championship we would have done well. What we will be is a self sufficient club with an owner looking at selling us on.

You can tell the players aren't doing their best for him and ultimately hes out of his depth
brayford,turner,macheda,fabio,gunnarsson and whittingham were woeful

Sorry Carl I disagree , we scored 2 goals , but it was woeful , no structure at all even in the 2nd half we were a shambles

Russell Slade needs to go and we as a club need to start all over again because we appear to be poisoned and its running through the club and its supporters .......we are imploding

Leeds aside, i don't think we have been the better side at all this season, 1 point from 9 against 2 recently promoted teams is worrying, as is our possession stats.

The 2 goals we pulled back today were from simple crosses into the danger area, not through persistence or pegging Brentford back.

When we went three down I couldn't believe how many heads went down not one player took it upon himself to get players heads up they should have been screaming at each other good job us the fans didn't let our heads go down .

I'm not expecting anything this season, in fact each game I won't expect any points and when they come it's a bonus, the last 3 games including the draw have been horrendous
