Some people are like Slinkies, no use but make you smile when pushed downstairs
Van Persie
FunnyBloody hell ! Who has ? Sign him now , I bet we cant afford a prolific scorer like that though
But true!!
According to his wikipedia page(yes I know) Keoghs record for Millwall is 12 in 22

Yes it is frustrating when he misses a sitter or two ........................
But he is currently the league's top scorer and he wears a Brentford shirt .......that will do for me

fully agree. Clayton's one of the most skilful forwards we've had in years. Can't understand why some people cannot see this ?Yes it is frustrating when he misses a sitter or two ........................

Football is not a matter of life or death, it's more important than that.
What do you mean by skillfull not being funny but I see the pace the fact he can use both feet and pretty good in the air but think he has a poor touch which lets him down in the box.
No one is denying his skill. Everyone can see that.
But it seems Uwe may also be becoming a bit frustrated with his pigacy in front of goal.
I think Uwe was more upset with his inability to stick to a game plan. In the opening 15 minutes, there was a clear tactic with Farid on the corner of their box for goal kicks but both forwards dropping back when we had possession deep, then Clayton running wide for the ball behind the defence. It worked reasonably well and then Clayton started running all over the place and trying to head the ball going into Farid; I think positional sense in one of his problems and he doesn't play to his strengths, which is what Uwe was annoyed about.
When the wind of change blows some build walls, others build windmills...
I think he does have a good first touch especially when you compare him to other recent strikers, Macdonald and Alexander for example, so I cannot understand why some are so critical of Clayton. OK his goalscoring ratio was below par last season but he's made a good start and hopefully it will continue. It's all about confidence with strikers and we need to get behind him 100% and I'm pretty sure he will be our 20+ goals man this season.

Mr Chisholm. What a pleasant surprise.
There's no doubt his first touch has become slightly more efficient since Uwe had the pitch made a bit wider.
If we beat Southend.
I think it comes down to whether you mean first touch outside of the area which is normally sublime (Bob Tayloresque) or first touch in the box which is normally a tad heavy. CD is a gifted footballer IMO but I don't want to accused of starting a witch hunt so I'll praise him no more.
Vote BLUNSTONE - maybe out of touch but closer than what we already have.
Mr Chisholm. What a pleasant surprise.
Very well put.
If we beat Southend.
have to agree with you on this one
Very well putPossibly why people are left scratching their heads at his heavy touches inside the box is because his touch out of it is so good.
In braemar versus Yeovil the bloke behind me was still saying he can't hit a barn door 2 minutes after he scored that great goal.
The thing with Donaldson is that we can see that he is a good player but is frustrating to watch. Chances where he doesn't think about what he is doing (i.e. instinctive finishes) he will put away no problem (notts county away, Crewe at home) its when he gets into those one on one chances where he has time on the ball he generally fluffs.
Why does this happen who knows but as long as he continues to contribute to the team I am happy for him to play.
With his goals per game ratio this season and indeed towards the end of last season his name should be first down on the team sheet. I'm really happy he is with us and always thought his scoring record would come good. I think he and Farid are going to prove to be a very potent force.

The funny thing is that when he scores 20 goals by xmas and is sold to leicester city for 500K it will be the people who are currently slagging him off who will be the first to say "typical Brentford, always sell their best players" etc.

That sort of thing has occurred to me too - now that we appear to have strikers who might start knocking a few consistently in, they'll be on predators' radars in January. As long as we can fend them off, it would be a nice position to be in!
I don't think this will need to, or will, happen whilst MB is at the helm. At least not unless we get an offer for a really stupid amount of cash.
Mr Chisholm. What a pleasant surprise.
Not a question of 'needing to' these days I'm afraid. Players run the game these days and there's not one of them that wouldn't be off at the slightest sniff of a few extra quid.
If we beat Southend.
Slagging him off ?don't think I've seen anything other than constructive criticism
It seems the consensus last season was that he showed a lot of potential and we should stick by him despite the goal drought. Now he's suddenly started finding the back of the net, he's not good enough and we should get rid of him. How very confusing and what a nonsense.
Strikers at this level will always miss more than they score. If he keeps up his current goalscoring ratio then we'll do alright this season. He's a good forward.
