A very tactical game with a few players off the boil. Brentford have more than just a passing resemblance to Sheff utd, whereas they will surprise a few teams.....not us, we are surprising a few ourselves....not me, I have unwavering faith

Third! Unbelievable Jeff!

Fair play to Potter taking what was an easier start on paper than last season and turning it into points. All I've ever asked :clap2:

Need Villa to do us a favour against Chelsea now :lolol:

I had this daft hope we’d take our chances compared to last season and be great this year. Turns out now we don’t even create chances let alone score them.
Really poor.
We’ve now played two promoted teams and a team we finished above and have played well for maybe 3 half’s, tops.

Why is always the same idiots

Give them their credit, think Brentford will have enough about them to cause teams some problems this year. Tough team to play.

Lovely goal in an otherwise messy and uninspiring game. I'll take the 3 points!

Wonderful we’re handing out that old cliche you get punished in PL if you don’t take chances to the enthusiastic newbies. We’re like a sweaty old moustached veteran in the trenches, looking down at the corpse of the cocky freshfaced youngster, and coldly remarking “told yer to keep your head down…”

Brilliant from Trossard and McAlister.

That main commentator, is he a Brentford fan or what? Really winding me up all game waxing lyrical about Brentford even when they were on the back foot.

Reality check for Brentford, watch them fall away after a couple of results like that

No shame in losing against a top 3 team.

Great result if not great viewing. That was a bit like playing Burnley - quality not the highest but you have to work your arse off to get anything from the game. So pleased that we did, well done the Albion.

Two times well drilled made it such a hard affair...

A smash and grab of the highest order though, absolute sickener for Brentford I bet.

Well played lads, we go to the next!

Thank you to all those who were brave enough to grumble, complain, moan and generally slate the football. I really don,t blame you at all.

Let,s be honest, the football was poor, but the comments have entertained me from start to finish

Shocking performance. I'd promote some of the U23s at this rate. That Sarimento fella. We have no impetus, no cutting edge. Our forward players are just rubbish, worst in the league.

Things didn't go well for you, this afternoon, did they? Are you bw3 in disguise?

*cough* we are third *cough*

I'd just like to say a big thank you to Odsonne Edouard, without whose goals we wouldn't be sitting in 3rd place (THIRD!).

May he now turn into the moody useless prick we all hope he is. [emoji106]

That was a game where the two sides largely cancelled each other out. We were unfortunate to be without Gross who would have provided more quality in terms of delivery and set pieces - in the end a point was probably fair but a superb bit of quality from Trossard who was the best player on the pitch won it for us. And Uncle Tone will love that against his nemesis Benham!
