We really can't have any player coming back to fitness or returning from international duty without another being injured, can we?

Good to see Oliver emphatically waving away any possibility of Bradley being pushed as a foul, seconds after giving Maupay a foul for being pushed.

It's remarkable how Brentford as a team seem to get so physically bullied as to get so many fouls (and set pieces, but that's surely just a fortunate side effect), despite having so little of the ball. Frank should surely speak out about it to protect his poor lads. The only consolation was that it was a similarly soft foul to led to the free kick that we countered and scored from.

In the lead. Unfortunate with the injuries to Jones and Jota. Hope they're OK. We need them available. Great finish by Nunez for the goal. We need to stay alert in the second half and we need a second goal.

Very thuggish from Brentford so far. just hoping we get through rest of game with no more injuries

Robinred · « **Reply #83 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:29:47 pm »

How come we can all see what’s going on; Jurgen can and is as exasperated as the rest of us, but no, it’s just us?

Copenred · « **Reply #84 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:29:51 pm »

Chances will come as long as were one up - need to take them because I expect Brentford to get a goal

Paul_h · « **Reply #85 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:29:52 pm »

what a dirty team Brentford are..
Ref is allowing it
Brilliant from Nunez. Doesn't always have to be 'wham bam thank you mam' all the time. Beautiful delicate chip. Two goals a game please.

hope Jota is ok.

WhereAngelsPlay · « **Reply #86 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:29:57 pm »

That chip was perfection, bordering on piss taking.

Expect Mo to get a couple in the 2nd half.

Wingman · « **Reply #87 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:29:57 pm »

They seem to be finding some space on their left between Bradley and Konate, and Mac is probably lucky to not have picked up a yellow for those 3 fouls defending that space

Great goal, shame about the injuries. I’ll take 1-0 now if it means everyone else comes off uninjured

QC · « **Reply #88 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:29:58 pm »

Don’t think Jota is coming back anytime soon from that injury.

Oliver looked irritated when he asked for a stretcher too - fucking incompetent clown

Tell them what? You’re not making any sense.

Great goal and intelligent play from Jota.

Salah unlucky not to make it 2, great run from Diaze, but fizzed it across a bit too firm.

We need another, because Oliver is going to keep giving them pathetic free kicks every time they dive.

Brentford throwing themselves around and going down too easy, bunch of fucking rat c*nts. Doesn’t look good for Jota. Everyone will have to step up to match his work rate.

Draex · « **Reply #94 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:30:28 pm »

Jota was in tears, devastating, been our best player along with Bradley for the last month.

Hestoic · « **Reply #95 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:30:36 pm »

I was fuming that they got given that free kick until it ended up leading to the counter and goal. Instant karma.

Have to agree with the comments about Brentford, they're getting our players in bear hugs every corner and fouling with impunity, and pretty much nothing's being done. Lovely goal, but it's a real shame about Jones and Jota - Jota in particular has looked absolutely world class since he's come back.

Fuck it all.

These 12:30s are always weekend ruiners.

It's got nothing to do with a 12.30 kick off. Everything to do with other clubs being overly aggressive against us and the referees refusing to do anything about it.

Important to talk about Thiago, Ali and Trent in the half time thread of a game they're not playing in.

StL-Dono · « **Reply #101 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:31:04 pm »

More of the same. Some really brilliant play on our part often broken up by one of our guys getting assaulted and Oliver sees nothing. Breathe on a Brentford shoulder and it's a free kick no matter what. The run Jota made at about 25 minutes where he threw off and fought off about four of their guys and he just kept fighting and progressing the ball forward. Any other team, the player dives at the first contact and they get an advantageous free kick. It's so blatant now it's gone beyond surprising.

Going to be a struggle to get three points I fear because you just know they're going to get one of their dives in the box given...

Oliver is meant to be the best ref in country.

paisley1977 · « **Reply #103 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:31:17 pm »

A so called experienced referee can't see there players going down for the slightest contact. The best was Jota wrestled to the floor at the corner 50/50 the next corner Jota gets in front of the defender foul, unbelievable.
Gutted for the injuries can't make it up.
And what a goal the build up and the finish World Class, Nunez Nunez.

What the fuck do todays injuries have to do with training or the physios? One rolled his ankle and the other had a 90kg human land on him.

It’s not the training or the physio - some players are robust .. jota and jones aren’t

Jota looks like a bad one, will be huge blow if he’s done this season

QC · « **Reply #105 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:31:25 pm »

Incredibly reminiscent of trips to Turf Moore against Dyche’s Burnley, we usually lost a player or two to their shithouse tactics there as well.

Absolutely fucking unbelievable, Regulion summed it up moaning about getting booked for another shithouse challenge moments after Jota’s season was over as it was his ‘first one’.

Just fuck off.

Go back one further, absolutely classic Bolton performance under Fat Sam.

OUTSTANDING goal from Jota & Nunez, incredible vision and technique from both players.

Can't believe our luck with injuries at the moment, you can only hope that they are being super cautious (unlikely I know) but lets wait and see.

Shocking refereeing performance if we're honest.

Don’t know what he was doing for that counter attack where he neither passes to Salah or Nunez.

Right at the end he had a fairly easy ball to Salah but turned and went backwards.

Officials shocking as expected...determined to give us fuckall from the off ('Mutual holding'?...you c*nt Coote ) .which emboldened the Brentford players to up the ante....and lead to potentially devastating collateral damage...

Stunning goal by Darwin to ease the pain.....And that talentless imposter c*nt Jenas wanking over Brentford's non-existent counter attacking earlier made it even sweeter....that's how you counter attack you cushion faced twat...
