Brentford V Sheffield Wednesday

[Liam_SWFC]

Tricky fixture this one, Brentford are a good side and Griffin Park is a difficult place to go. We've had a pretty poor start to the season as Carlos still searches for his best system, which for me certainly doesn't involve playing Almen Abdi wide left, I have faith that he will get it sorted though. A win is much needed today but a point wouldn't be overly disappointing.

Reckon it'll be a very tricky fixture today. Draw would be good but always back us at home for a win.

Don't think there will be any changes today either.

God knows how you're not 4 or 5 up. Easily the worst I've seen Brentford play in a couple of years. Bentley's made some cracking saves to keep us in the game. Wednesday are very good at escaping a tackle, and always have a man over on the far side. Fletcher is holding the ball up brilliantly though Joao looks terrible.

We've been abysmal, not tracking anyone, keep giving the ball away. Not sure whether it's Wednesday playing amazingly well, or us being so bad, probably a mixture.

4-0 Wednesday would actually be kind on us at this stage. Saves, goal line clearances and misses have kept the score at 0-0. Can't see us getting anything from this game today.

 

[MagpieBee]

Haha lol. It could only be that way!

Great pressing, but totally undeserved.

Well, once we got our noses in front we were much better. Surprised by the subs we made, thought we should throw a bit more pace on to try and get another on the counter, especially once Wednesday were down to 10 men. Manager set us up badly in this one.

We've got to be much happier with the pint, even though we almost snuck away with all 3. Thought Wednesday showed some great passing and passages of play, though like many teams in this league they love to throw themselves to the floor to win a free kick.

Bentley is a cracking shot stopper, been superb in every game so far really. Great replacement for Button. Elder our new left back has been generally pretty solid so far, but was the cause of a lot of our problems first half. Hope these new signings come in soon. Nice to see Bjelland get some minutes.

Wednesday will do well this season, but given how many good teams there are I don't know if they'll be able to do enough.

Wow, Dan Bentley is class. Will be surprised if he is with us next season.

Said before the game I would be pleased with a point, but after watching us spurn enough chances to win 4 matches I'm a bit miffed we didn't take all 3. Especially considering Brentford's goal was a complete fluke, summed up the day really. Scoring in the 93rd minute is always sweet and pleased we managed to rescue the point, could be the turning point for us. The international break has come at quite a good time for us, can hopefully get a few player back to full fitness and gives us time for Carlos to work with the squad further. Dan Bentley was brilliant for Brentford yesterday, if he performs like that every week he'll be in the Premier League before long.

Yeah you should have had the game wrapped up by half time. On another day that could have been 0-4. We desperately need some new signings in midfield, we have literally zero width in the side and will be in for a long season imo if we can't get anyone in this week.

How Lucas Joao missed that I'll never know, I think Brentford will be fine but like you say depends who you can bolster the squad with.
