Brentford

I thought they looked very good on Boxing Day...weak last night though

Credit to Hughton as the way we set up, restricted them. Brentford have scored 23 away goals this season, so far, so they're no slouches, but we sat back, frustrated them, & hit them on the break.
 












Us, last season. What a pleasure it is to see how we've changed

No way last season did we control the ball that effectively and neither did we under Oscar.

I will say it - we were not 3-0 better but for once took our chances and that turns football matches and we got a flattering scoreline - it happens and it feels bloody great!

If Judge had taken that great early chance (bravo Stockdale), with their possession stats it could have been a completely different game.

I was incredibly impressed with Brentford who are a great team to watch - alas for them they have a poor forward up front and their wide players probably lacked some gamebreaking pace to really hurt us (like that guy Lookman did). I'd take Ryan Woods off them in a shot - fantastic little player.

We've become a top counter attacking side recently, Knockaert fits into that brilliantly. Continue counter attacking and that should get us out of the league

I agree entirety with your observations Brentford looked good Woods and Judge are two players that would walk into any Championship team

Brentford were lucky we missed so many chances, on another night we could have scored 5 or 6 or even more. I think I counted just 2 decent attempts by them.

Thought they were very poor, actually.

I agree, we looked miles better than them on last nights showing. Other than Stockdales good save they offered little, their fullbacks were beaten at will.

Yep. I thought Woods was absolutely magnificent last night. Pulled all their strings and tirelessly looking for the ball in space.
Really odd running style though !

He learnt how to run from CMS :)

For what it's worth, if I had to watch a mid table team all season I'd choose Brentford. Attacking football is exciting to watch.

Totally agree, great little player busy busy busy - re running style Jonathan Douglas at Ipswich has a strange style also.
