Normal order resumed. 45 mins no attempts. 

We look dire. No one can control the ball 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Sky say it looks better in UHD, not on my tele, we've been fucking awful.

[TimmyJimmy]

How many times have I banged on about the full backs staying in defensive positions and not indulging themselves as wingers. Commentator on Sky just called this out. We need a back 4 that stays as a back 4. Nyambe out of position on the move leaving up to the 'penalty'.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Even those Venky cardboard cutouts wind me up

[den]

Second best everywhere I’m afraid.

Is TM texting Andy Hinchcliffe telling him to place the blame on Nyambe for that pen... scandalous.

This is also abysmal.

Obviously.

He should have psychic powers and anticipatethat Trybull is going to play an appalling pass and give the ball away before it happens........

Ifollow subscriptions should also come with an audio link to a voice box in the ground. That way what we scream in our living rooms can be broadcast in the stadium, one per subscriber, select your seat etc. Should be easy as pie these days 💺

I so wanna be singing your getting sacked in the morning (obviously I know it would not matter with Venkys ruling us).

Wholesale changes at half time pls TM, its your only hope.

Blimey. He's schooling our 2 centre halves in intelligent centre forward play. They can't handle his strength or movement.

What have they created since the goal? Jesus, hardly a masterclass.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Second best to a decent team, that hasn't created many chances though.  Changes needed if we are to get anything from this game.

[G Somerset Rover]

Back to our pre-Millwall worst. Can’t string two passes together, creating nothing, defensively all at sea.

Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

[OldEwoodBlue]

BBC stats reckon we had 1 shot.

I can assure them we didn't.

Absoloute shambles of a half.  There's no drive in that team. Slow, pedestrian and lacking any technical ability.  Mirror of the manager.

But Nyambe probably doesn't think Trybull is going to give it away so cheaply when we are in posession. 

[New Jeru]

How long does Dack have to be missing before we form a search party?

If we lose this that'll be 5 points out of 30

How many managers would survive that? 

I'll say it now and I don't care if we turn it round second half. Mowbray out. Wilder in.

Rubbish. If we were scared to move forward in case someone gave the ball away we'd never get out of our own half.

Then again, we haven't anyway.

I’m just as confused. As I said - they must be classing the Gallagher/defender skew to the corner flag. Ridiculous.

they are in complete control and we look absolutely clueless

[des]

What a load of..........that was why is a singer playing center forward and two centre forwards playing as wingers. Our midfield and defence passing is let's be kind not up too standard. Things will have to change second half.  Long balls to our forwards are not working and the options for the player on the ball is very limited. Kim

Every manager under Venkys.

Aye, the ball should have been out to Ryan.  

[DE.]

Regardless of whether it was a soft penalty or not, we're lucky to only be going in one behind considering the level of performance. Fotunately Brentford haven't been able to seriously threaten us despite our inept attempts at playing football. 

I feel like a broken record as I've said this so many times this season, but even though that was a terrible half we can still come out of this match with at least a point as the overall quality of the league is poor and inconsistent teams like us are rarely punished as we would be in a higher division for playing so badly in large portions of games. 

We have the individual talent to equalise even if the performance doesn't improve a great deal. We've seen it countless times over the years, especially under the current manager. The simple fact remains, though, that even if we go on to draw or by some miracle win this one there is little hope of long-term progression as long as these fundemental flaws in our mentality and overall game remain.
