I thought we looked vulnerable at the back all night and we just seemed determined to score from 25 yards. We were always going to concede and as it turned out, most likely through some poor defending rather than good play from them. Our centre backs being constantly injured and switched around can't be helping much. Williams been out for a while and it showed. I thought it was a pretty poor show from Holtby and Johnson, neither really got into the game, although Johnson still able to win a few free kicks and get a couple of challenges in.

Ffs

Good block by Williams

Arma being incredibly wasteful.

Another cracking ball by Elliott

Bristol have come flying out of the blocks here.

Just about to post the same thing. Playing some great balls through Bristols backline

Kaminski playing left back because well, why not? 🤷‍♂️

What a ball over the top by Elliott that was.

I'd have the same top 3. The team and style of play that evolved under Hughes would have been cracking to be part of.

Typical short sightedness from Venky's. Let some players leave in order to save a few quid but ignoring the potential transfer fees further down the line on the likes of Dack/Nyambe. As others have said, if money is tight, why bother with Downing?

Right back seems to be a problem, looking like we will be forced to play Buckley there.

12 months, nightmare. Really feel for the lad. I expected us to flog him the summer but we didn't and he got his chance and took it.

Buckley had gone off for a pie or something! Rothwell (I think) at least attempted a block by sliding in front of their player.

Rothwells goal was great but if you were a Brentford fan you must be fuming, not a single attempt to challenge him on that run by any of the Brentford players. Its not like he was doing step overs and fancy tricks, he literally just ran past them. Great goal but if it was the other way around I'd be livid none of our lot put a foot in (or even attempted to)

Ah cool, cheers for the clarification. I knew it was something like that.

If you appeal and you're unsuccessful, don't they get an additional games ban?

"Wayne Rooney's Rams" it is. Maybe just "Rooney's Rams" in a few weeks.

I wish that number 7 Bell end was still on the field so we could see his deflation when Davenport struck the equaliser. Totally expected us to go to pieces after the Red card and I wasn't able to check the score between their 2nd and full time, so was absolutely thrilled to see the result. Full credit to the lads for today. Hope Wharton isn't out for the foreseeable.

I used to play full back for my local team, this was like 7 years ago but I remember a winger took a dive from one of my "challenges" I was absolutely fuming. Its embarrassing.

Mountain to climb now.

Get in!! Good lad Rothwell

Not watching, what happened to Wharton as he's been stretchered off??

If Trybull is holding and Johnson going forward that's ok. If its the other way around, it won't work too well.
