Fielded a side of loanees and players on outgoing contracts when he could have started the likes of Buckley, Dolan and Brereton. Bizarre tactics, Mowbray over complicates it and just because he studies his opponents, doesn't make him a good student. Time to go, what a waste of time. Boring football.

Hope so! He has proved me wrong lately but needs to work on his end product and still has a long way to go to nail down a regular starting spot.

The pace of this game...

Travis has been rested after playing too much too soon after coming back as well, and Johnson didn't look fit enough to make the squad tbh. I think this squashes Dack's Premier League dreams for good, but he can still come back a good player for us. Fingers crossed. Loved the way he combinded with Rothwell and Elliott in parts of the second half - showed some real promise.

Fair enough. I'd say it was a foul so if it's anyone's fault it's Raya's, but it wasn't a bad challenge or anyting, just bad luck. On another note, I hope they do replace the pitch. Would be like signing a new player.

Depends on the end result. It is what it is, hopefully it isn't too serious but not looking good.

True. I don't think there would have been many complaints had he been subbed off for Elliott at the break though.

Compensation. Trusts his left knee more and probably not 100% muscle balance as he's still recovering from his first injury. Injury after injury is common, just look at Darren Anderton's career. Usually there's a lot of strains. This looked like it was very unlucky though.

Considering how everyone is commenting on how bad this pitch is and how tiring it is for the legs playing on it, he probably should have been subbed off instead of Buckley. Only just came back but I can understand both Dack and Tony wanting him to get going.

Very emotional.

Probably would have been better for him to re-injure his right knee. Gah, what a night... Hope he'll come back for us, started to look like himself these past few matches. Maybe too many minutes this soon though, but this was just bad luck.

He doesn't have an eye for goal, a poor touch and loves wandering into no-mans land. He has his good stints but not worth his price tag. Not the game for him, we didn't offer much in the first half so must be frustrating for Brereton and Gallagher to be subbed off. Were left to chase lost balls and not the best at defending either of them.

Gallagher is a poor man's Kevin Davies. Would probably do alright for Bolton.

He does struggle to get the team to put two good halves together, that's for sure.

Thomas Frank is a good manager but they didn't adapt to our changes in the second half. Held on and think he'll be a relieved man after tonight.

For anyone wondering Dack hurt his right knee last season. If it's his knee this time it looked like it had to be his left one, but could be ankle or groin, not sure. Hope he'll be okay, but probably out for a little while. Bennett looked worried cos it's our main man, and Raya is a fair player - but that was a pen. One soft pen given to them, two clear-cut pens not given to us.

I don't agree with you. Over 90 minutes it could have gone either way. They didn't create much in the first despite being superior but we were far better than them in the second half. Elliott has to be starting every game, but I understand Tony wanting to field the same eleven (except for Nyambe). Think Buckley is starting to look better and better and hope he gets a good run in the side. On to the next one. Boys can be proud of the second half. Hope Dack is okay.

What a stupid comment to make.

Don't think it's the knee. Pulled groin maybe?

FUCK OFF

Get rid of Graham. Build a team that plays passing football. Make sure you have the worst pitch in the league system.

Clear pen. Johnson had a good touch yet?

Brentford simply a better team than us. Ref doing us no favour on their penalty. Need a fluke goal and/or a couple of changes. Pretty frustrating to watch.

Forgot to mention the foul on Buckley prior. Poor refereeing.

Sublime pass by Trybull. Looked like a pen for me, very very clumsy again by Sam in his own box. Ayew never fails to score against us. Decent game, we've got ten men up for it + Douglas on the pitch.
