vulva Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thought we played well tonight, against a very good side. They were my tip to be the surprise outfit this year, and they will finish top 8. They will also take points of a lot of the top sides, who underestimate them. Our back 4 were excellent, Jack Hunt MOTM. Negatives is them bleeding boards. For those sat in South, low down, the view is shocking. All you can now see, on 3 sides of the ground is a glare, and on many occasions you can't make out players, or the ball. They are far too bright for night matches, in comparison to the floodlights. Fine if you're higher up, or on the North etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Re Brentford - I agree they're in a false position and will pull clear of trouble, as their general play is right up there. Unfortunately for them, I think they lack the quality at the sharp end of the pitch and that will mean they'll just kick around in mid table.

Southie_Owl Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It really makes you wonder if Dean Smith is a potentially a top manager in waiting when you see how he gets Brentford playing so well, with fairly unknown players No doubt Birmingham will be after him in the future now they have taken all their best players too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Shutt is God Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I sit low in the north and can't see the ball when it's at either end of the pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Happy with the win against a difficult team. They always have an outball even when you are on top of them. Good character to come back from that start. Lee, Bannan, Hooper did some good stuff. Hunt impressed me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 In principle, I've no problem with the boards. Income etc. My issue is that they are far too bright, and I'm very surprised at ground level where the dugout are that they can see anything.

WUGGAMONKEY1 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I thought our back four looked disjointed at times. Lees seemed to play 3 yards behind the others at times - which caused us problems. Van Aken started nervously (went to ground too early in the first half 2 or 3 times) but improved as the game wore on. His range of passing was really impressive. Hunt was very good and Reach, as ever, put a shift in. I guess it will take a bit of time for the back line to develop as a unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveger Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Regarding the electronic boards, do we actually advertise any other companies that aint owned by Mr C ?... aint been yet so don't know, just every time I've watched any highlights its always our own stuff, i fail to see how they will bring in any meaningful income at this level at the moment. But I know nothing, just like Jon Snow... Edited September 12, 2017 by steveger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I sit on the kop towards the top of the bottom section and when the ball was moved quickly at the leppings lane end I couldn't see it. And why have they made the font so small on the score board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like a bit of sportsmanship with the opposites manager.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sit 20 rows up on kop and lost track of ball when it was at far end especially when adverts were very bright. Loads mentioned it around us.

Spuddy01 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Brentford look really good when they are allowed to play their game, like in the first half. When you put put pressure on them like we did for the first 20 minutes of the second half they look a little uncomfortable. Still a good side though, and I can't see them struggling, they just need someone up top who will put the chances away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
