Quite short of options with Bergvall injured but that’s a very stodgy XI.

He’s named two keepers on the subs bench 🙄
to be fair.....

more often than not our best attacking option has been our center backs.. (Maybe start Micky and Cuti up front) so perhaps use our goalies as creative mids... it is a new year

Play 3 keepers instead of 1...?

2026 here we come!

2026 says: "You guys are quite Stodgy".

So what do we say to that?

We don’t really commit when we press. Everybody looks tentative, like they’re afraid it’s going to get played over top of us.

I said about this in the last game thread...

Our press is not organised and does not lead from the front... Because we don't have the players or the coaching to do it...

It's the building block of any teams defensive work... Frank should have this boxed off IMO...

It reminds me of Mourinho tbh. The thing is Brentford used to do it so well under Frank.

yeah.. pressing your man and pointing to the open man seems like the wrong option

Got to say im struggling watching us playing like this...no ideas, no quick passing, no risk taking, just stodgy dull football game after game 😴

Blessing in disguise...feels like I'm watching Brentford v Brentford
Sounds like when I went to the Lane to see us play Leeds many lifetimes ago and it ended 0-0. I was literally falling asleep where I sat it was so dull.

Sounds rough, but surely even then the football cant have been this bad?
