yeah, shaky nervous start from us.

Brentford have missed 2 good chances already. Hooper with a good shot on target for us.

mr neil needs to change this straight away,  looks out of his depth right nowits not working at all

we could ship 4 or 5 if it carries on this way

defensively naive, midfield just being bypassed

Midfield duo look terrible. No awareness of opposition players, consistently allowing them to get into space between midfield and defence. Both pushing forward (along with fullbacks) leaving defence horribly exposed. Whitacker wants to press, Johnson wants to sit and keep shape, resulting in huge gaps between the two that Brentford can exploit.

Not sure what he can do. No other senior central midfielders available (why McGrandles is on the bench), although at this point Whittaker is placying so badly you might as well start an inexperienced youngster...

Why are wee leaving such a huge gap between defence and midfield? Brentford are the kind of team that love to get their midfielders into that zone. Johnson and Whittaker have got to realise this and get closer to the defensive line to try and stop Brentford getting into that space in central areas.
