The Real Buh 3,423 Posted October 30, 2021 I do like the “why aren’t we”-live threads, that’s proper balls in that one. The post match “why aren’t we” threads are the safer bet, but you don’t get the thrill! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it makes our clean sheet draw against Burnley look good, what perspective do you put on their 3-3 home draw with Liverpool then? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,580 Posted October 30, 2021 I know Brentford attract a lot of ire around here for the crime of...winning Premier League games?...but this result is bad news for us. Lose tomorrow and we're 5 points off 18th, let alone safety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever happens in the 2nd half they haven't pathetically capitulated before a ball has been kicked vs a side with no centre forward 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A team who were punching above their weight and playing with confidence, but granted, it was a great result and performance at the time. Wheels coming off now though, if we capitalise tomorrow then our trip to the BCS becomes very interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would be the first poor result of the season really- sure it would be three losses on the bounce but close losses to Chelsea and Leicester don't indicate the wheels coming off in my opinion.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,736 Posted October 30, 2021 3 still have to go down...Burnley are more streetwise at this level than Brentford, Newcastle will have money to spend in Jan The likes of Watford and Southampton will win their games. I'd still be looking at Brentford as a candidate. 1 goal from open play in 10 games from 'hitman' Ivan Toney. We've seen teams start well before and run out of steam I remember Blackpool under Holloway getting 30 pts before before christmas and tgen only getting another 2 or 3 afterwards and getting relegatex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,245 Posted October 30, 2021 They've had some great results, no question, but it's interesting that of the identical games that we and Brentford have played, we've actually done better. Leicester (h) - both lost Brighton (h) - Norwich draw, Brentford loss Liverpool (h) - Norwich loss, Brentford draw Burnley (a) - Norwich draw, Brentford loss. Also interestingly, they haven't won at home since the opening day. There are some signs that they are heading towards a relegation battle. Whether we can get our act together to get into a relegation battle is obviously a different question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBaldOne66 681 Posted October 30, 2021 Doesn’t really matter in the big scheme of things does it? After todays results we are 5 points from safety and that could be 8 tomorrow if Leeds do us, so how the likes of Brentford do is immaterial really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
