Craven, I'm not frustrated, I'm bloody angry, to tell the truth. Not beating the likes of Wolves, Southampton, Ipswich twice, West Ham twice, Everton, and Bournemouth, most games of which we had taken the lead. Yes, we have had some good wins like Brentford Chelsea and Newcastle, but even those results, have made me less angry. If we lose to Leicester on Saturday, I really will blow my top, as this is a help yourself to 3 points match.
posted by Brian from West Sussex (Guest) - Thursday 16th January 2025, 11:40 PM Yes frustrating,as 19 games we have been in front and not ended up with victory. I feel part of the reason has been long term injuries to important players, Tete has been outstanding and is better defensively than Castagne. Nelson was playing well, his injury has Marco deciding to play Iwobi on the left, losing his influence, he produces when playing in a more central advanced midfield. Lukic can not hold the defensive duties on his own, Berg's injury leaves a selection of Smith-Rowe, Perrera, Cairney as a sub as the other ball winner. King looks such a prospect but he is another player suited to going forward. My frustration is the performances of Smith-Rowe, Traore, continued selection of Perrera, who seems to be angling for a move resulting in Marco leaving him out for one game. Are just not good enough at this level. Andersen also has been underwhelming. The two most expensive signings have been dissapointing.
posted by denny (Guest) - Friday 17th January 2025, 8:06 AM As I keep repeating, cut out the mistake and learn to not give away points by carelessness. If we can do that in the half of the season we can rise up the table as only Liverpool and Forest are concistently winning at present.

posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Thursday 16th January 2025, 5:36 PM Muniz tries hard, gives centre backs a harder time that Jimenez and has flashes of brilliance. I'm just not sure we play the system that benefits an out and out centre forward.

Marco will probabely make a decision and a move in the market but i hope Muniz stays...

As I have said, Leno will not make the same mistake again. Football is funny, I said to my wife when we were dominating the game in the first half, if we do not score they will break away and score. Football is never fair and frequently decided by who makes the least mistakes.
posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 15th January 2025, 5:52 PM Perhaps now we will stop this p…..g about at the back and attack a bit quicker. We are not good enough and somewhat predictable. By the time we eventually pass 5he half way line the opposition have 9 men behind the ball and unfortunately we haven’t the ability to break it down. As much as Jiminez has progressed he doesn’t always hold the ball up as well as Mitro used to, the same with Muniz. Still a bit worried that there may not be any additions this month, even though we desperately need a more dominant striker, or creative player. Would like to see Josh King given a run, but realize this must be managed properly and for his own good. I hope their is an improvement Saturday and we come away with three more points

posted by Spizz '53. (Guest) - Wednesday 15th January 2025, 8:56 AM Agree with this. Fulham were far superior to a poor West Ham team but gifted two soft goals and paid the price. We didn’t play badly overall and dominated for large stretches of the game.But we don’t take our chances, the big weakness in the team. Two hit the bar and Traioré missed from very close range at the death. Need to bounce back now and beat Leicester. More needed from Smith Rowe too
posted by Lillywhite (Guest) - Wednesday 15th January 2025, 9:42 AM We have a player we have been offered 20m euros for who is no good as an attacking midfielder and is no good as a defensive midfielder.

posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 15th January 2025, 10:01 AM

When Pereira first joined the club Marco played him in an attacking No10 role where he looked dangerous and creative , this season he has played as some sort of holding midfielder which he clearly is not . Smith Rowe is clearly a great footballer with amazing ball control on the run but he appears to be stifled and unsure of his role now . Marco needs to resolve this .

I am totally gutted and will not be commenting on the game as I am appalled that the defence makes the same mistakes week after week and have yet to realise that we do not have the players capable of playing the ball in their own penalty area. We had far more of the play but woeful finishing as well as gifting them two goals cost us dearly. Why take Iwobi off and leave Traore and Smith Rowe on when neither of them was playing well.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 10:13 PM We have to suck it up and move on now. A defeat like this was coming after our good unbeaten run and it had to be West Ham. Marco will expect a reaction at Leicester on Saturday, we are better than we showed tonight and we all know it. Our weakness for a long time is not to take chances and we can count chances in a lot of games that we don't capitalise on. Smith Rowe is low on confidence and he needs to get more involved in games.

posted by T.NO (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:22 PM It’s been proven time and again. AP isn’t a starting player in a top 10 team. He and ESR together are incredibly lightweight. We are much stronger with Iwobi or Berge partnering Lukic. It’s time to sell AP — he keeps costing us points, starting with the botched pass against Man U on opening day. Silva has such unjustified faith, given the mountain of evidence, including statistics that show AP as a poor passer who is weak in the tackle. Were it not for the false inflation of his performance by taking corners, it would be clear he’s nowhere near the top half of CMs in the Prem.
posted by Drago (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:27 PM AP, should be sold immediately, whatever the offer. He has just cost us 3 points, but I'm sick ant tired of this short passing in our penalty area. Get the ball as far away from our goal as possible, as they can't score from their end. This display is garbage.
posted by LTS (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:27 PM Agree West Ham are very ordinary. We do the monster work and squeeze them and they have no runners up top. A bad miss from Wilson early on maybe set the scene and tell us that we won't get nothing from this game no matter the amount of possession. Jimenez has got to do better with that header point-blank. Our shooting is woeful! I didn't expect Robinson to slot in a routine ball that every striker should get on target. Why we can't get shots on target is a mystery with Wilson Pereira Smith Rowe showing no direction. Things can only get better with the obvious subs second half. I would slot Muniz in because of his quality goal last week. take Jimenez of and Pereira

(Guest) - Sunday 12th January 2025, 2:42 PM Correct' Milliband turned the gas off leaving Labour p.ss.ng in the wind on wind farms that need manual workers to climb up there and turn the wheels. The only snag is we need to get some of our slackers to toe the line if only we could sign them off the sick. I wonder if we can get remote control drones to work those windmills? I am not a fan of fruit-nut Trump but he is onto a winner by using old God given tried and tested methods for getting energy and the saying goes' 'DRILL BABY' DRILL' OIL!!!!!!! It's not rocket science but we manage to wreak our economy wide open again and again. Meanwile Starmer sends that woman who used to work in a bank for customer services to try and drum up business and all we get offered is chump change from the Chinese at what cost i do wonder?

(Guest) - Sunday 12th January 2025, 4:49 PM The whole of London according to the air quality index website showing extremely unhealthy air quality right now over London, guess the clean air zone isn't working like they claim it is. Heard electric vehicles are going cheap or you could always pay 12.50 because that stops pollution too. The mayor should start changing the planes at Heathrow 12.50 to stop them polluting he'd make a fortune

If a player hammers a ball into the net from just outside box you just have to accept it. My only thought is Leno might have saved that. But we won handsomely so why worry.
posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 11th January 2025, 11:02 AM Its hard to save a shot like that, even tougher if you are sitting on a bench by the half way line. Sorry TTIM could'nt resist.
posted by denny (Guest) - Saturday 11th January 2025, 12:37 PM Vata's strike from 28/30 yards out ,at an angle and rising, not many keepers would have saved that strike. As for Leno saving it, remember the B'ford goal. He got wrong footed, as he usually does for long range shots.

posted by Harry Haynes (Guest) - Saturday 11th January 2025, 8:43 PM Hate to stress the point Leno was not in goal.
posted by denny (Guest) - Saturday 11th January 2025, 10:04 PM I was trying to make the point that if Leno had been in goal he may have had a clean sheet, but of course in the cup, goal difference does not matter so why worry. We are not a clean sheet team we are a scoring team.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 12th January 2025, 6:32 AM Agree, Bigboy' we should be more organised and close down Vata. To execute a shot like that you have to be talented and have composure to even pull it off. Even though a division down Vata obviously has talent and we know more for next time when and if there is a next time. Interestingly, i would like to add that it would be nice for some of ours to show more composure in similar situations when a potential goal opportunity arises and its not like we haven't had some opportunities to shoot. We pass around a lot and wait for openings and my gripe is that sometimes, we can load off a shot after 52 passes etc. The snag is to control the sudden rush of blood from some of our forward players. Why is it that i have to hark back to Willian, who was good at finding openings and unleashing a good one? Rowe Wilson and especially Pereira need to step up...

posted by Jj (Guest) - Friday 10th January 2025, 11:57 PM It has improved the flow of the game but referees cannot see everything and is bound at times by to give free kicks when players are touched and throw themselves to the ground screaming in pain as if they have been shot. Other time high tackles and penalties will be missed. On balance the game has been improved by the change in procedure.
posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 11th January 2025, 10:20 AM TTIN, agreed the game flows better but it is noticeable that certain players, as was Wilson, will be subject to gbh in order to take them out of the game. Many years ago, a left winger went around Tommy Smith in a Liverpool home game and the story goes that Smith said to the youngster “do that again and I will break your effing leg”. The youngster steered well clear of Tommy for the rest of the game. You will, I am sure, remember the 1974 Charity Shield Final between Leeds v Liverpool when Bremner and Keegan were involved in the infamous fist fight and were both sent off. Leeds were a nasty team in those days with Hunter bites your legs and Bremner the enforcers. The Daily Mail a few days later stated”Footballers who throw their fists at each other are symbolically licensing violence”. Both players were suspended for 11 games and fined £500 which was quite a substantial amount in those days.

We are going all the way kid, and just imagine the FA Cup back at the Cottage if Tamworth beat Spurs and we beat Tamworth and Newcastle and whoever. How hard can it be with the top team, Liverpool nearly out?
posted by OWEN - Friday 10th January 2025, 7:35 PM Nearly out ? How do you think that ?
posted by Bob (Guest) - Friday 10th January 2025, 9:02 PM Maybe he was thinking of Liverpool and the league cup? Fulham for the FA Cup, however I do not see how it can be back at the cottage as we have never won it.

posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Friday 10th January 2025, 5:12 PM Owen, wash your mouth out. From September I have been praising the team with the proviso that they have yet to realise how good they can be if they play attacking football. I have stated many times this season that their latent talent needs harnessing and it is up to Marco to make them believe and to do that he must adopt an attacking formation game. Alternatively, bring in a psychologist to resolve their lack of belief problem. I am sure other posters have also praised the team.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Friday 10th January 2025, 5:25 PM Everybody in the team must to be able to defend as well and must get behind the ball as soon as we lose it, which we still do to much to be a great team.
posted by The Time Is Now - Friday 10th January 2025, 5:40 PM Nice to see you back Bigboy' i thought i was the only regular mug managing this site and everyone else with their feet up and retired from tapping a keyboard. Did you see that Muniz goal? That was quality and we want to see more of it. Hey,' Sess is back! Why isn't Marco playing him more than slacker Pereira? To give Pereira his due's he managed an assist from a corner, which i will be talking about into the spring...

On Tuesday, a £2 billion auction of 30-year UK government debt sold at an interest rate of 5.198 per cent, which outpaced increases for other governments’ bonds. Ten-year borrowing costs have since surged to their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis, and as of today the pound continues to fall.
posted by Rachel from accounts (Guest) - Friday 10th January 2025, 3:31 PM I don't think he played too badly, considering he was out for a while, and he looks fitter and he was busy without threatening on goal. Rowe was industrious and a good link up with Iwobi and co. Give him his dues i think Pereira had one of his better games and he did contribute an assist from a corner for one of our goals and we got to give him that one. Pereira was busy from the halfway line and linked up well with everyone. We would all like to see him connect a lot more with corners and assist and you got to admit that he was unlucky with a quality shot that hit the crossbar, that was a good one. Muniz? Why is no one talking about him and what a goal, it was top quality, whats wrong with you guys? Give credit where its due i say. I thought we had good manners etiquette and decorum. We don't want to get like that no class Brentford lot down the road guys. I also want to say a well done to our forgotten man Sessegnon and i think he should get a lot more games. Hereally has muscled out and he looks stronger and harder to shake off the ball. I always forget Sessegnon is here when i moan about recruitment. A nice MOTM for Sess and come on Marco get with the program and drop some who are not pulling their weight and play the boy genius!!!!!!

They also played a lot of kids so the comparison was not correct. I agree however there is a huge class gap between 9th in the Championship and 9th in the Premier League. We played a team with a few reserves in it, but it did not weaken it at all. Our under 21s and our under 18s are doing very well so even if we played dome of our best children we would probably have won but Marco wanted to be sure we won showing he would like to win the FA Cup.
posted by The Time Is Now - Friday 10th January 2025, 10:29 AM The class difference obviously does not apply to Brentford.
