Ginja 43 Posted January 24, 2015 I honestly have absolutely no idea what formation this is... 5-4-1? 4-3-3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 612 Posted January 24, 2015 I thought that our bench looked a bit light on defensive optionms until I re-read the team sheet. 5 defenders? Whits and Martin doubleing as wing backs ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djc 0 Posted January 24, 2015 yeah, shaky nervous start from us.Brentford have missed 2 good chances already. Hooper with a good shot on target for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iron_stan 0 Posted January 24, 2015 yes johnny - google vip league ;)we are absolutely all over the place at the back, should be 2-0 already, i dont think whittakers touched the ball and turner and cueller look like theyve never played together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damn that Ralph Coates! 74 Posted January 24, 2015 Delia would probably be faster in tackling opposition strikers..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iron_stan 0 Posted January 24, 2015 mr neil needs to change this straight away, looks out of his depth right nowits not working at allwe could ship 4 or 5 if it carries on this waydefensively naive, midfield just being bypassed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John 0 Posted January 24, 2015 My word Whittaker, complete lack of ideas and cost us dearly for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillip J Fry 0 Posted January 24, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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...

Phillip J Fry 0 Posted January 24, 2015 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.
