Brentford v NUFC

[Toon_NoMatterWot]

Seems ages since we had a game that you have to scour the net to see. A normal 3pm kick off on a Saturday as well.

A strange game ahead as there are the normal nerves you get whilst facing any side but analysing further and on paper, a game that is very winnable.

I just get the feeling that we are at least a year ahead, probably two years ahead of schedule in that we are now starting to go into games where the neutrals see us as favourites. We're starting to be put in the category that the 'A' rated teams get where it's a major shock if you lose. The category that Arsenal and Man City are currently in. A category that previously had the likes of Man U, Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool in up until this season.

Im not quite in the category 'A' camp but I know we will give it a good go so we will be there or thereabouts in regards to the points on the board. I also have a sneaky suspicion that we'll go majorly unchanged from Wednesday aside from Isak replacing Wilson and maybe Gordon swopping for Murphy.

Just an opinion.

It's all about enjoying the ride for me at the minute

Even those disappointed with this season's transfer windows cant have any complaints (it won't stop them like)

Enjoy the ride including the bumps

2 penalties??

 

[Toon_power]

Horrible 1st half to watch if you ask me. Big changes needed for the 2nd half. 1 offside goal(from a situation Joelinton didn't even hit his opponent) and 2 penalties (1 missed). We didn't even have a decent shot on goal. Brentford seems to be the team with the mindset to win this match.

 

[Rza]

Hard to find positives other than we probably should be more than 1 down and surely can't play any worse second half?? We'll see

 

[The Owl]

A very poor 1st half.

 

[McCreery]

We are weak down the left and getting aqueesed down the right

Wilson on for Willock or Joe and Isak on the left for me

 

[Rza]

Yassssssss get in isak what a finish

 

[McCreery]

Got to be said

Pope's distribution is fkn awful

 

[Tomfoolery]

They might as well do away with referees, some goon is watching everything in slow motion ten or more times, then making a decision...

 

[officemonkey]

VAR is fucking shocking.

 

[Rza]

Brentford throwing themselves all over the place looking a third penalty. Pathetic

 

[Rza]

VAR is fucking shocking.

It's not the machine it's the monkeys manning it

 

[Rza]

Ugly win and a great 3 points. Would have taken a draw especially with them having a goal disallowed and 2 penalties. Anyone know what happened Gordon? He was subbed on then off and seemed pissed

 

[officemonkey]

Great win, despite the referee’s best efforts.

Gordon already showing what a petulant Scouse bellend he is.

 

[Mcnamee67]

Nothing seemed amiss in the Sky sports studio, saying what a good goal. Then it was disallowed and a very harsh decision apparently

 

[Toon_power]

2nd half was alot better. Red Bull can do the trick

Isak and Wilson together was a good decision to suprise the opponent. I think Gordon will stalk Howe the upcoming week for subbing him..lol.

We're going to see a lot less goals now that officials are actively looking for reasons to rule them out. Whatever happened to giving the forward the benefit of the doubt? Was never enforced

 

[Rytoon]

Brilliant 3pts.
Would've been happy with 7pts this time last week from the 3 games.
Poor first half but again the substitutions kicked in & changed the game.
Tactically spot on & good game management from Howe.
Joelinton m.o.t.m for me. HWTFL!!!
