And Brentford are two up. So fuck Swansea.
This one million per centDon’t have a problem with Swansea. They took their chance and didn’t bottle it unlike us. Cardiff however can fuck right off.
We wouldn't be playing anything like the game Swansea are. We could have done this. For a start, we wouldn't have won the home leg (we never have yet) so they wouldn't be going into this one so pumped to attack and wipe out the lead. This match would have been more like a chess game from the startBrentford look back to their best... however, we beat them home and away. Blackpool beat us home and away the year they took us in the play offs. You just never know what we could have done.

Much like we were under Paul Hart in the playoff season. We always seemed to get the early goal at home and just went from there. Away from home, where we struggled to get an early goal, we struggled far moreAgreed. I also think if Brentford don’t get their own way early, they struggle to know what to do - that’s why we beat them twice. They got 2 early goals against this lot and they’ve oozed confidence since.

Totally agree. It felt like Wolves's year. They took four points off us in the league and we never looked a match for them.Do you think a none suspended Michael Dawson would have seen us beat the blades? I personally think so, but also remember Wolves being the best of the four regardless and didn’t fancy us in the final.
Horrid player and dives far too easilyAndre Ayew really is a cheating little twat isn’t he.

I'm not sure it was just about Dawson. John Thompson was an ok defensive midfielder but an absolutely shocking centre half. Had Hjelde been able to play (not sure why he couldnt) then that might have helped. We just needed to last 10 minutes after Reid's goal as we were perfectly capable of getting a third
Yep, I remember we looked so up for it and did a brentford getting the two goals - sadly, the psychological side of football kicked in and we couldn’t handle it.... which begs the question, is there something within this football club that prevents each generation of team from driving the club forward. I genuinely don’t know the answer.
