Think you need to watch it again. He's pressing the ball and as soon as it is squared sprints to close down from where the ball came from. There were 2 other centre mids in Johnson and Travis who were hiding in the back line and made no attempt at all to pressure the goalscorer. Edit - Arma is 5 yards away from Stacey when he receives the ball and doesn't even move while Holtby makes 15 yards up having defended a short corner. I'd assume Arma got a bollocking for that.

Holtby was the only player who attempted to close down the first goal and I thought Travis had dropped in next to the centre halves there too? Might be mistaken though?

The thing is, we all know Bell is shite but, I'm telling you now, he'll stick Benno in there rather than bring a replacement in.

Superb from Nyambe there and a great turn and finish from Armstrong.

Was that Johnson who just let the guy turn there? Fucking abysmal.

Why are there 7 players on the edge of the box marking nobody? Got to be closing down there.

I can't recall ever hearing that a club performed 2 consecutive (3 if Kipre had one) medicals yet failed to sign any of the players? Not sure I'm having that.

Think his Dad still lives in the houses just further down from Blackburn Golf Club where he has a small private sports physio studio.

Indeed it is. A lot of history rewriting too, conveniently forgetting that he was dropped for Leutwiler for no apparent reason at the end of his time here. I'd have wanted to leave if I was him based on that alone. I wasn't shy in saying he'd end up in one of Europe's top leagues within a couple of years after we sold him last season as he had all the attributes to be a top keeper IF well coached. Good luck to him.

Indeed, last year was a shocker. Ended up with half a defence and goalkeeping department with a 12 month sticking plaster on it.

I'd go with 6 Len.

Domino effect? Does that mean we'll continue knocking and have a count up at the end when we get no-one?

It would've served us better if we'd been dicked at Leicester. Mowbray will be using Magloire's shutting down of Vardy as reason not to bring anyone in.

Euro scouting network in place, cash available, footballing CH needed to fit in with the 'philosophy'....and we're scratching around for an old boy clogger on loan from Norwich a week before the season starts. It's laughable.

To be fair the bodywork has taken a pounding over the past few years and he's never had a good engine.

No matter what bollocks is being fed down to us there is absolutely no excuse for starting the season with no more centre halves, none at all. He's got 7 days to sort it.

No idea mate. But it makes as much sense as taking 8 transfer windows to end up with half a defence.

Is Mowbray playing a game of trying to buy the unattainable here because that is how it's starting to feel? Then he can shrug his shoulders and say at least he tried?

Indeed Lenny. In fact, given the club's financial state, it could be argued that the use of Dack will define our future as a football club.

No I don't. But that's not my argument. Your argument is that Brentford spend money, which they do...in fact every transfer costs money in some way. The argument against you is that they reinvest what profit they have made and have a negative net spend.

Nobody cares as long as the team moves forward. There were plenty who were concerned when we sold Speedie to get Shearer....

Agreed. He seems a decent bloke, a crap footballer but a decent bloke.

Until it's along the lines of 'I'm leaving' I'm not listening.

Give it a week and we'll be talking up Carter and Bell in any formation.

It's something without lead in it. And don't call me twitter.
