Fully aware! BUT could have easily lost the last 2, got quite lucky to be fair. It’ll be different if the performances and shots on target were top notch but we’ve fallen off in the last 2 and yes it’s no disaster of course just a little concerning especially with tougher tests coming up.
 

Bournemouth 2 Brentford 2 (Schade (2))

Bournemouth are an excellent side. If they could finish they would be a Champions League contender. They have lost only once in their last 23 premier league games and only twice since we beat them last December. They are a serious Premier League outfit. Today was an excellent point. We could have done a proper Dick Turpin job if our subs could have taken better care of the ball rather than gifting possession back to them. We rode our luck but we are showing how dogged we are and that is a fantastic trait to have. So pleased Schade is scoring. Personally I think Thiago is still proving to be a real handful at the apex of our attack. His goals will come. Dango is misfiring at the moment and Dams (a player I absolutely love) needs to take a touch and slow things down. We are missing Jensen.

What more? Not score more, we were in with a shout for the duration, second best maybe, but games can turn in an instant, nothing wrong with a hard fouht draw away from home.

Don’t disagree with that, but they were the better team especially towards the latter part of the game

Well Muff came 6th last year, so based on that today was a tough test. Still an easier game on Friday against a Chelsea team that finished below us last season and could only draw at home to Hull today.

Think you have to get real, every game is tough. Not sure what you were expecting today against a top 6 of last season, or last week against a European qualified Sunderland?

Have you thought it might just be the other team that is stopping us from playing...

Happy with the grit, grateful for Kelleher and Schade rescuing us today, on balance we didn’t deserve a win but could have scraped one. Not bad for an away game at a top side.

My slight worry is our right side defensively. Not sure what is going on but last two games, irrespective of the combinations we have suffered. Not sure our attacking options there are doing enough defensive work but can’t put my finger on it.

Beat Chelsea and that's a great unbeaten start to the season. Muff are a very good team and they will count this as 2 lost points. For us it's another point gained.

Just back from the game. Battled hard but very little by way of quality. I cannot remember how many times we gave the ball easily away in the last 20 mins but coach Keith will be spitting feathers.

I thought Thiago ran his backside into the ground for the team. Their midfield was much more of a threat and on a number of occasions they hit us easily in behind the channels.

Bees in great voice. Unbeaten still, just, but we need to be a little more creative. It will come.

Agree and it wasn’t just their midfield, the centre backs were always looking for a through ball and caught us out a few times

Very true, but also more or less the same players that came 6th last season.

Yes but 2 lucky draws would you not agree? Could easily been 2 defeats which would have left us just about the drop zone. I guess it’s crazy to say when we’re still 5th, I’m just saying it seems we’ve had a little slump but hopefully some Royal arse kicking will get us going again?

Sunderland was not lucky, they played well at times as did we. That's why it ended a draw I guess.

We also should've won at Leeds, which would leave us with err 6 points.

We are a vey, very, very good side

Lots of teams will lose away to muff and Leeds. We are proper resilient.

You will never be brilliant in this division, but you can be annoyingly good

We will be top 8, bookmark me

Keith knows the score and called it like it is. We got away with it.

Loads of effort but dreadful quality on the ball. Basic passes over hit, created nothing and lacked composure.

Hurry up and heal Mr Jensen.

I wouldn’t say every game is tough, I’d hope against the 3 that came up should all be winnable. An away draw isn’t a bad result I was commenting more on recent performance which I just hope don’t continue for too long otherwise draws become defeats.

I know I’m being a little OTT, just I guess expectations rise with success and us fans can get a little greedy.

A very good point on the road.
Hung in there at times and the team didn’t click as smoothly as a few weeks before.
But we are not only a good side but becoming streetwise.
2 wins and 2 defeats is the same points.
But unbeaten in 4 shows we are just difficult to beat and as much a pain to other teams as they can be to us.
We are top half of the table material and haven’t hit the heights of week 1.
But the team is evolving and shape and players rotating.
For once we have a squad where players can have dips and others step up.
Andrews is a realist and so are we. It wasn’t our best but Bournemouth couldn’t get past us.
We move on for a big week.

I was there and thought we were lucky not to be 2 or 3 down at half time. We played a lot better 2nd half but I’d say they had more chances than us.

That's football though. How many times have you seen the Bees dominate and walk away with feck all? "We were robbed". "We were all over them". Really good teams get results when they don't play well. You know this and so does every football fan.

Course they did. They should have won.

We were the better side in the first two games; the opposition was stronger in the last two

Got Hull on the phone for ya....no easy games, but agree we can perform better and no doubt will as the season unfolds

Shots on target : 10 v 2
xG : 2.18 v 0.5

We totally robbed them with 2 goals and a point!

Were you there ?
That’s really disrespectful to our players who worked their socks off against a very good side and maintained an unbeaten record in the toughest league in the world.
Also how did we rob them with our two goals ? The first an inch perfect cross and powerful header, the second an exquisite chip to take advantage of a presented opportunity.

Still unbeaten 🙌🏻 justice league position would’ve taken a hit today though

Muff are a decent side, but for a bit of context for the gushers of how great they are, they haven't won a game yet under their new manager.

For a bit of context for the doommongers on here, we haven’t lost a game yet and are in a champions league spot :rolleyes:

Understat has us third on xG after today with not much to separate us, Arsenal, Chelsea and Brighton.

Thank the Lord for a sensible and balanced opinion on where we are at.
We’re not world beaters but we (just like Bournemouth) are damned hard to beat which should stand us in good stead as the season progresses.
And Chels on Friday is going to be very interesting, yes they can attack, but no, they can’t defend
