Some people are so blinded by their hatred of slade that they cant see whats going on.
Nothing that happened in the second half was down to being "tactically inept" the players let him and us down in the second half. No doubt about it. Thankfully we had the drive and fighting spirit to kick on when it went 2 2, but where did that go after 60 minutes?
Mason was an embarrasment today

Slade probably sent them to sleep with his boring talk at half time. If it were me I wouldn't even listen to him at half time because he hasn't a clue what he is on about.

Yes players take some responsibility but it's the manager who can make decisions. Got out of jail slade as I fear a huge chorus of boos had we drew or even lost.
Also what is it with mason. Can he not sprint? He was fresh but never seems to break a neck and close down....
Still we won yay

Some players were out on their feet and he didn't make changes apart from a like for like until after they equalised in the 87th minute.
Brentford put fresh legs on half hour to go in midfield and started bossing it
If that's not tactically inept I don't know what is.
However it's this ineptness that's actually making for better matches.

We just need to tighten the defence and we'll be fine.
Not sure with what someone said, they'd like us to come from 2-0 down and lose 3-2, not sure how that works

Listen you've probably had a drink because anyone who wants us to lose must be drunk or a jack, so we'll chat tomorrow maybe when you've slept it off.

Totally agree
Similar in the last game, formation changes by other team didn't cause the goals we conceded defenders and midfield failing to close down and follow their men cost us the goals
You could argue switching to a 5 man midfield could have cancelled them out but we shut off twice and it cost us

You cant say any of the goals in the 3 games were not coming. Sustained pressure as a result of the tweaks made by the opposition and not counter acted by our manager.
Yes individuals could have done better on some of the goals but tired legs, tired minds, especially last night. That was evident last night yet apart from a like for like up the end of pitch where there we werent seeing any ball he didnt make any substitutions to freshen it up.
Hes now found a good plan A, cant fault him for that, but he needs to learn from these 3 games that he needs a plan B and make betters use of his bench.

this is the point of contention for me though. i dont think the goals were the result of changes brentford made. Like i said they were already getting a foothold in the game.
I've said before that i want to see Slade learning from what is going on in the game, finally cementing ralls in the centre is a positive (though he had a shocker last night) now he needs to realise that mason isnt good enough. Its tough on Slade because hes tried to talk him up this season and give him a prolonged run in the side, but mason let him down last night.

Well according to their own manager it was only when they made the changes did they really start to make inroads.
Either way wether you felt it was coming before the changes or not Slade still do not see it and did nothing to try and address it. Wether that be him tweaking his formation or bringing on fresh legs.
