What a great result today. Lots of positives:

- Nicked a game that last season the chances are we would have drawn, and away from home to boot.
- despite the loss of Webster (the big negative) another clean sheet.
- beaten another team that may have expected to have been around us.
- ahead of the tracker with a run of loads of games where we are expected to get very little.
- Welbeck fit enough to start.
- we won this with the bench looking pretty thin, Mwepu, Gross, Burn, Lamptey and Connolly hopefully back soon to strengthen it.
- a nice contribution from Mac Allister, impacting off the bench again.
- Trossard up and running and a full 90 from him.
- this win win let’s us go and enjoy next Sunday without any pressure and Leicester have a European game midweek (albeit them may make changes).

I’m buzzing, when was the last time we won a game in the last minute?!

Debut for Cucurella - a great fixture for him to get a flavour of the speed and tenacity of PL football.

Not a bad first game, made a few short passes and took the sideways and backwards option more than I liked but it was a baptism of fire in the PL. He’s going to be excellent once he gets up to speed I think.

A Bees fan bought 6 of us a drink after the game. Table service only. The waiter asked “what can I get you?”; he replied “3 points?”. In unison, we all said “we’ve got those…”.

Made me smile anyway.

If your name is Haydon Roberts, Webster injury might be another positive, if he gets his chance and takes it, we might yet agree.

Only about 10 posters have criticisms that need airing now...

Sussex, by the sea
3 points away from home
Clean sheet (s)
Trossard didn't damage any paintwork

Did we actually 'nick it' or did Potter 100% know the PL new boys would die on their arses in the last 15-20 mins and adjust so we'd dominate the game in that period?

I couldn't get a stream to stabilise so listened to the commentary - we seemed to have total control in the last 20. Also, even a load of the Brentford fans seem to acknowledge they ran out of gas and we looked by far the more likely to score.

We did control the play in the last 20 mins, but never really looked like scoring. Brentford packed the box to hang on just like so many did last season. A moment of skill from Trossard made the difference
