Vital 1st Team Regular
We started yesterday on the front foot and everyone, with a couple of exceptions were well up for it. Winning most tackles, most passes coming off, pressuring them and dominating. The goal was well taken from a great corner (how many times have we been able to say that this last year or so?). The goal had been coming. Just as their crowd were getting restless they scored a cracker. We gave him too much space and time but didn't he hit it well?
From then on it became another shambles. Their second goal was probably the easiest he'll ever score as the defence went to sleep then they hit us on the break time and again as we searched in vain for a comeback. To be fair, it could have been a lot more. A lot more. Bentley made a couple of brilliant one on one stops when they should have scored.
But once again we showed lacking in certain areas. Up front. Our striker did sweet FA again. The new bloke did nothing except prove the report I'd heard about "lots of pace but no end product" and he was subbed just after half time. Nice to see Sergi come on and give it a go at least.
The defence overall, strange as it will seem, seemed to put in a good shift to me. But they can't afford to go to sleep as they did for the first two goals.
Overall, we saw both Brentford's yesterday, the good footballing one that can play a bit, and I really thought when we scored we'd go on an win quite well. Then we saw the appalling one that falls apart. Preston deserved that win, and as I say, it could have been more.
Then add to the mix we have just given a year's extension to the genius who thought Sawyers and KK would come on and get us back into it. That either shows someone is grasping at straws or just how shallow the depth of our squad is. Maybe a bit of both.
