Brunners 7,982 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Our defence has been worse under Pulis than under Monk it has to be said I'd like to see some stats to back that up because I'm not sure it's true. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It's just been one of those games where everything is falling Brentfords way, I'm still weirdly confident things'll turn. Link to post Share on other sites
boroie 484 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I thought that first shot was I for sure until it was blocked. Unlucky it came straight back to the shooter who put it in the opposite corner. Link to post Share on other sites
boroie 484 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I had a dream that we scored early in this game through Traore, then sat back and handed the initiative to Brentford before losing 2-1. Hope dreamer me was wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Bamford will score 2 second half. Link to post Share on other sites

I think it’s just a case of a decent team, playing at home going one nil down and putting a bit more pressure on our goal. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Take that instance just there, Downing gets a cross blocked and somehow it spins backwards and lands unopposed at the feet of a Brentford player. Just one of those games. Link to post Share on other sites

boroie 484 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Why is Traore playing on the left again anyway? Statistically Brentford have one of the best attacks in the championship in terms of XG whereas our defence is only middling. This was always going to be tough Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Whoever that ginger lad is for them has committed two yellow card-worthy fouls since he picked up his booking early on. Annoying. Link to post Share on other sites

Middlesborough 12 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Under Monk in the Championship we conceded 22 in 23 games. Under Pulis we’ve conceded 14 in 14 so far. Ok maybe you could forgive those that were in the first couple of games under Pulis but it’s not exactly getting better lately, conceding 3 against Sunderland, against Barnsley and again against Brentford today.

Yep, and he's been pretty decent on the ball too so losing him would be pretty useful for us. Ref has been really inconsistent though. Link to post Share on other sites
