They've had 9 days rest. Perfect excuse for Tony right there 

TM clearly allows fans opinions to influence the team selection, the guy is a moron and the above is why. Same 11, 3rd game in 6 days, most of them not regularly starting against 2nd in the league rested for 9 days. We had to change it tonight, just for fitness, I am shocked he didn't, some are coming back from serious injuries too.

Tony I'll hold the sword and you pretend the queen has walked in. 👍

No chances in 42 minutes.

What’s he done?

Are you not watching? 

[dallydally]

Brereton, Gallagher and Dack AWOL so far

What’s he done?

Held the ball up, created chances, earned free kicks up the pitch... basically three things that our front three have failed at on many occasions. Add to that his goals this season and I really don't understand why that is even a debate.

much as it pains me to say it,brentford are a better side and we are trying to outfootball them,change the system and try to make it difficult for them

How is that not a foul in Gallagher? The Brentford RB has literally gone through him to make him kick the ball out for a goalkick.

Either a corner or a freekick.

Decision....

Goal kick.

Armstrong? 

Seriously?

[Angry_Pirate]

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

This is also abysmal.

Why. He's another journeyman. One good game in ten

Not talking about his goals this season he’s done well clearly, just saying he hasn’t done that much tonight.

[G Somerset Rover]

What ‘shot’ have we had?! The one where Gallagher/the defender skied it to the corner flag? I mean seriously?

Imagine saying that to someone back in 2010 pre Venkys...

Gallagher needs to show some fight for a big lad omg he is a joke wheres the bloody aggression bloody fight for the ball in the air

[1864roverite]

The final passes are atrocious, the lack of link play from midfield to the front 3 is atrocious , the lack of a formation, plan or the inability to play a more direct approach is to be honest fucking atrocious

Let's not pretend this is down to the officiating. The gulf between the 2 sides is embarrassing, like watching Man City v a League 2 side.

Piss off. There's nothing special about Brentford.

..... add another 7 players to that

[rovers11]

This all needs a huge rethink in the summer, we're miles off it. A striking trio of Gallagher, Dolan, Brereton is relegation fodder. Dolan works hard but I dont see a lot of quality there. 

Defensive shape is non-existent as it has been for four years (actually since Big Sam left).

The club needs new ideas and a new direction.  I dont think I can even watch the second half of this dross.

Exactly what makes it even more embarrassing to watch.

[jim mk2]

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

How many managers would survive that? 

[matt83]

Normal order resumed. 45 mins no attempts.

I would go further - a league 2 side would at least stand up to them physically. We look quite literally like schoolboys playing against men

[roverandout]

Fact is Brentford are a far better side. Wins against an extremely poor Millwall side and a decent draw v Swansea doesn't mask that.  Blaming the ref when things don't go well is something u expect from Mowbray.  Fact remains the ref doesn't determine rovers playing well or creating chances which rovers have done neither

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