Any game can go either way, it was like they were an amazing team though the way people were speaking. They're not, no team in this league is, we should fear absolutely nobody and approach every single game with a positive approach, Tony also agrees ?

But but but but Brentford are Braziliant aren't they? ?

Villa who drew at home to lowly Reading. Start believing!

Is that 23 league games unbeaten at home now? Scary to think how good we'd be with a sold out home crowd week in week out. I know it'll never happen but still

I don't get it? I thought Brentford were aka as Brazil according to the doubters on here? Once again made to look very silly ? Start believing in what Tony has built you fools!

Well it's not ideal that is it There's still men in that squad who can score goals though particularly off set pieces. Time to stand up and be counted.

Same here! Not sure where this impression Brentford are Brazil has come from.

Nuttall has really lost his way lately and not sure why. It's not that long ago he was hammering goals in for the U23's and we were screaming for him to gey a run in the first team. Now people rarely have a good word to say about the lad, it's a real shame.

Hoping he'll play. He definitely doesn't need to play on Tuesday in the Cup then we've only one more game to get out the way before the international break

People are giving Brentford far too much credit for me, they aren't THAT good. Might be worth pointing out that Maupay has scored 5 out of their 10 league goals this season, assisting 3 I believe. He is a HUGE loss for them.

A lot depends on the team news really but I'd be disappointed if we didn't at least get a draw.

He's been training at Everton and had trials at Watford, he certainly looks in decent shape, albeit he won't be match fit yet obviously

They didn't deserve a goal in that, never a penalty. Gibson is going down in folklore the way he's going, well done son ?

Maupay being banned is a huge boost

Tbf Sunderland have been an absolute shambles for a few years although they do seem to be sorted themselves out this season, bit like ourselves last season . In his time there he will have had Poyet, Advocaat, Moyes, Allardyce, Grayson and Coleman as his manager, bit of a piss take really. Its a gamble it really is but could be a masterstroke.... He's saying the right things anyway, judgement reserved but prepared to give him a chance, surely he'll work hard for a manager willing to take a chance on him and reinvigorate his career?

Doubt they know each other too well, Danny will have been out on loan a lot of the time

Bentley did go on to reveal his true colours though before leaving for Spuds Not sure how I'd feel about Rodwell but it shouts of running out of viable options now tbh......

At home it's like 20 odd league games unbeaten now, granted most of them were the league below but its still impressive. Smallwood said pre match how they like playing at Ewood and it shows with them stats. Yes we did play a bit bobbins tonight but maintained our record with a few key injuries.

He was superb at Hull, Bell too. Stick with them in the team barring injuries and they can only get better

Villa and Brentford are a massive 2 points ahead of us and the others below us, albeit just in most cases apart from Stoke who look dreadful. So it's not mission impossible to pick up points. It's a tough tough league but we're unbeaten. That said, we desperately need at least Dack back Saturday and I expect he will be. We won that tonight with him, simple as that

Only plus note I can think of is this MIGHT put a bit more urgency on getting a few loans in by weekend, christ we need to now

He's clearly a bit simple

They got battered at Hull you clown, nothing you can do about that no matter what stage of the season!

What's your point? After the Hull game a few players got on the coach nursing injuries as Hull were a dirty team. Be it 1, 4 or 14 games into the season they're only bloody human
