Ward 3 367 Posted April 3, 2021 Well yesterdays result doesn't seem all that bad now, shame Watford are getting lucky wins. Brentford have been all over Huddersfield like us yesterday. Let's hope udders have burnt themselves out ahead of Tuesday night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,808 Posted April 3, 2021 Very nice. Brentford slowed up and Huddersfield will have had a lot of fighting and running there. We just need to keep a consistently high tempo for 90 minutes and it should start showing in the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,808 Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) This puts it into perspective - look at the last five games. Swansea have 4 points out of the last 15. Brentford have 6 from 15. You think both teams are going to go on a streak where they get 15-16 more points than us out of the last 24 in a season as congested as this one? If they do pull that off, they're still banking on us going down quicker then Monica Lewinsky on Bill Clinton... or indeed whoever Boris Johnson is drilling this week....

Just sayin' Don Goodman mentioned it on commentary today as well, so he's doing his best to remind everyone of Merson's comments. Since they went top of the table they've managed 12 points in the last 10 games ( W3 D3 L4 ). I haven't seen that much of them but they remind of of Leeds in that they seem to be very dependent on hard running and athleticism and that they're very ordinary when those fitness levels drop.

Exactly - and this is why Farke's style holds up better. Yes, it requires dynamism to be fully effective, but possession of the ball is his primary defence. Control the ball, control the pace.

If their ppg continues at this rate they're probably going to have to beat Watford on 1/5 to stay in the play-off places. If they can find second wind from somewhere they could do us another favour.

There will still be some who will worry that we might not. They'll be blind to the evidence of the whole season for all teams concerned. They won't calculate what it would actually take for either Swansea or Brentford to finish above us. With both teams 15 points behind us with 8 games left to play. Nor will they factor in that Brentford have to play Watford in the penultimate game and both teams cannot win, or that Swansea play Watford in the final game where again both teams can't win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 3, 2021 Are Brentford fans still moaning on their message board that we are lucky because we’ve trousered million’s in parachute payments and that’s why we’re doing better than them? 😂 Someone needs to remind them of the ratio of relegated teams that come straight back up with all these unfair parachute payments... 😁 They are a one man team for what it’s worth.
