Wasn't looking forward to last night !!

Just come off my last night shift dealing with Nukey type stuff and didn't go to bed so I was just hanging. Thinking I really can't be bothered going it's gonna be a low crowd, bad atmosphere, and a shit boring game.
In I trudged I slumped in my seat trying to get even a smidgen on interest up but to my surprise the first half was superb. We looked good and when we play like that we will cause any team in this division problems. And to top it off TWatt was absalute top of his game, quick dangerous and ain't afraid to run with the ball.
2-0 and I was joking around what could possibly go wrong ? I wasn't worried at 1-0 but when it got to two we all thought eye eye
The second half I had a sneaky suspicion that it was going to be a game of two halves, Brentford was going to push forward and it would be a question of how Slade would deal with it.
Thinking maybe he has learnt something from our previous two home games but no we sat deep and let them come at us. Then Slade took off TWatt the only playe with genuine pace that we could threaten on the break and put on Mason who does not have any pace, there is a place for Mason but last night was not the right time in my opinion.
But as the inevitable happened and Brentford drew level we all thought there was only one team that was going to get a third and it wasn't us. But not because of Slade or any decision we got the winner and a get out of jail card for Slade.
I do firmly believe with our squad we can be in a lot higher position and playing a lot better, but how are our players supposed to soar like Eagles when they are led by a Turkey ?

2-0 has always been a dangerous lead. One minute,you're comfortable next minute it's 2-1, and even though you're stil winning, it's a bit nervous (or in our case, panic stations). It's been like that for as long as I remember. However, the last three home games have brought it to a new level.
Having said that, we have seen out 2-0 wins this season; Wolves, Huddersfield, and Reading.
Being 2-0 down can also be difficult, for obvious reasons. All your effort goes into clawing it back, and then when you do, you switch off,or are exhausted, and you get caught. Brentford last night.
In a strange sort of way, if we were only 1-0 up,I think that we would have beaten Burnley and Wednesday.
