Final Score Brentford 2 (og, Thiago) Nottingham Forest 0 (3 Viewers)

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

So close

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Schade and KLP linking up nicely going forward

 

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

Englund no consistency

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

That is a foul that is giving 0% of the time if it’s the defender on Thiago

 

[Untouchable]

No wonder Thiago looks frustrated. He’s being pushed and pulled all over the place. First sign of physicality by him and England gives a free kick.

 

[Friji]

Gibbs White with a comically bad overhead kick

 

[SanFranciscoBee]

About 3 min before our goal, Schade went flying in to win the ball with a slide tackle, you could see it set the tone and fired us up a bit.

 

[Untouchable]

Igor should have had that through much quicker to Janelt.

 

[brooks]

OK so far but all Thiago's opponents think it's a wrestling match.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Englund no consistency

Has he worked since Nightmare on Elm Street?

 

[ChessingtonBee]

A man in the Ealing Road end always used to say 'Play it on the grass. We paid a lot of money for it!'.

Looking at their 31, it would be a sensible approach this afternoon.

 

[mhead bee]

Getting frustrated with Thiago not jumping, but as soon as he does he gives a free kick for him winning a clean header.

We are so close to being brilliant at times, the final ball and cross still just not quite there yet.

Delap basically fouls every time the ball goes near him.

 

[rodders]

Vidi printer and BBC says 1 nil to us H T

 

[VitaminBee]

OK so far but all Thiago's opponents think it's a wrestling match.

Darren England seems to think it's a WWE match specifically, where Thiago is scripted to lose every single exchange.

 

[jbee]

Predictably difficult game but after a few shaky moments we have handled them better as the game has gone on. It's going to be a tight one.

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Sloppy until the goal, very good since.

 

[pompeybee]

Igor Thiago must be the easiest striker in the league to defend against. Jump all over him, shove him over, you’ll never be given a foul against you.

It would help if he tried to jump himself.

 

[lanzabee]

Every week Thiago gets nish despite being wrestled, obstructed

 

[shaun]

Schade and Dango look on it today.

Thought we were disjointed before the goal (OG but great play by Dango). Better since. Hopefully more of the better since in the second half.

 

[JosephBFC]

Strange game and strange atmosphere. Dango a real livewire. Goal out of nothing really. I don’t know what cardinal sin Igor has committed in the eyes of the PGMOL, he never gets any decision

 

[Superbeesensi]

Getting frustrated with Thiago not jumping, but as soon as he does he gives a free kick for him winning a clean header.

We are so close to being brilliant at times, the final ball and cross still just not quite there yet.

Delap basically fouls every time the ball goes near him.

Think I’ve counted 7 fouls he has committed so far…

 

[ChessingtonBee]

Better bugler than last year.

Immaculate Last Post and impeccably observed. COYB

 

[Jezybee]

That was a generally low quality half of football, but we’re winning so who cares.
Hopefully more space in the second half to put the game to bed as they have to step out and looking for an equaliser (that won’t come).

 

[VitaminBee]

Delap basically fouls every time the ball goes near him.

He's nothing more than a reprehensible thug. Wouldn't mind bringing Hakon on outfield in the 90th minute to snap him from behind with everything he's got.

 

[Houghton Bee]

Immaculate Last Post and impeccably observed. COYB

Felt like it was the first time in years it went perfectly. Well done to all in the ground, whoever you follow

 

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

Has he worked since Nightmare on Elm Street?

My spelling is a nightmare today

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

Perhaps Igor needs to drop deeper to pick the ball up like Harry Kane this gives the centre half a decision to make, battling for headers isn't working

 

[brooks]

Our defence needs to wake up a bit

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Can’t keep losing the ball in our own third. Massive let off

 

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

Not sure letting Forest have all the possession is a winning strategy.

 

[CattedownBee]

Playing it around our midfield very easily and too many crosses coming in

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Need to find a way to get on the ball.

 

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

I can feel the equalizer coming

 

[Argus]

As long as they continue to waste MGWs chances, we're in the clear

 

[CattedownBee]

The gaps are all wrong here he needs to change something we look so open

 

[Beecareful]

Might need to bring on an extra mf as being overrun now

 

[brooks]

We need another goal soon as they are getting plenty of chances

 

[snowstormbee]

We need another goal soon as they are getting plenty of chances

Good job their finishing is "shocking", according to Tim Sherwood.

 

[Untouchable]

Dams ON Jensen OFF
Hickey ON Sangare OFF

 

[BeeInSW19]

We're gonna concede soon. I can feel it!

 

[Boston Bee]

I can feel the equalizer coming

Yes

 

[VitaminBee]

Damsgaard to get the assist for our second to finish the game off. You heard it here first.

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Hickey in midfield is a big call.

 

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

Damsgaard should help us keep possession and possibly unlock a run on goal

 

[CattedownBee]

Could Kev not stay on his feet there he’s through with his pace

 

[Argus]

Not sure how I feel about Hickey on for Sangaré. Wasn't a convincing experiment last time out

 

[jbee]

Not a fan of the Hickey for Sangare sub.

 

[Argus]

Could Kev not stay on his feet there he’s through with his pace

Dont mind a yellow for his fb

 

[brooks]

Good job their finishing is "shocking", according to Tim Sherwood.

It's rubbish but they only need a stroke of luck.

 

[Hippobee]

Not a fan of the Hickey for Sangare sub.

I can see the logic in it, as we need a bit more steel in midfield. Hopefully Damsgaard can create a bit of magic to get us up the pitch.

We need a 2nd goal if we are to win, but an equaliser looks more likely ATM.
