Brentford (A) - Saturday 5.12.20


Recommended Posts

Gotta look to the break for any success now, which suits us, generally, but we look very rattled. It was a foul, it was a penalty, it was probably a yellow and all of it was unnecessary. Lenihan gets a small grab of his own shirt and then goes in much harder, he's been tricked, but that's how strikers are entitled to play. It's not befitting of a captain to get sucked in there, it's poor, poor play.

Wasn’t even a foul never mind a red. I don’t know what people expect lenihen to do other than what he did . Didn’t push him, didn’t trip him and didn’t met him go past. Game ruined by a shite decision. We looked really good until that. Hopefully we can continue somehow with ten men

Lenihan and Toney were both doing the exact same thing, the difference was Toney was waiting for contact so he could throw himself to the ground, whereas Lenihan wasn't 

Unfortunately you're not allowed to defend in the modern game. 

If the attacking player throws themselves to the ground at any contact, how do you counter that?

Clumsy but that's the challenge when some attackers are just waiting to hit the deck

Pretty much every striker does it, Gallagher identical at Preston, get across and hope the defender is silly enough to commit the foul 

Lenihan is experienced enough to know better to be honest

Anyway Buckley on at right back is an interesting one and shows we still need to add depth

Gallagher's was completely different. He played for it too, but today they were running side by side and Lenihan was a bit clumsy, Toney literally flew through the air with minimum contact,such was his excitement at being given the opportunity to dive. 

Games are won and lost now depending on if your player dives or not at the correct time. It's sad to see.
