But I can see why he gave all those decisions. Even if on slo-mo replay they maybe looked possibly wrong. He's been fine.

Maybe I'm wrong, frustrating evening.

very.

Summed up by Veltman there - who should have just slung in a cross - but no, turns back yet again.

I should have watched on the tele in my bedroom. Would have been the earliest nights sleep in ages

None of this is helped by a Brentford team that just want to park the bus.

What did we do to upset ultra depressing Virgo?

Two squads of similar cost, Virgo heaping praise on the one with home advantage for their defence, scathing of us.

Calls for the Ref to end the match 5 minutes early from both sets of fans.

1. Run down the wings.
2. Check the run.
3. Cut back, allowing the opponent to regain their defensive solidity.

Cross it first time while they’re running back towards their own goal. Please.

I'm really not sure about the ref tonight. He's nowhere near as bad as Darren England etc, but he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. Combines absolute confidence in his own judgement with limited ability. Partly the pen decision, partly Buanottes yellow card, some questionable free kicks. I'm not a fan.

Good try with the ref blame, but I'm not buying it. I'd prefer to blame our lack of moving the ball quick enough to create space. There is still chance to grab the three points.

Not just boring, it’s insipid

That is how u play against us because Zebidy has no idea how to counter it! Not a good of a coach as he thinks he is!

Dunno if it is just poorly mic'd up but Brentford fans have been painfully quiet all evening.

It's infuriating! Then a few mins of passing in an arc around the box before a wild shot wide

Got the City vs Villa game on my phone. Both teams so exciting to watch, fast movement, one and two touches. Villa very pacy on the break and playing their part in a great game. Our game is shocking in comparison, like a charity match

"It came off Dunk" - surely he meant a "Calculated head back to the keeper by Dunk"?
