Premier League - Brentford FC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread

Yep, would be happy with that as long as it doesn’t hamper Delap cus we need him firing

I’d like to see Chaplin given another start. I thought his vision & passing in the Brentford match were encouraging. His pass to Hirst for the goal was brilliant.

It's just indefensible and I'm at a loss how anyone can defend it, that angle shows his ineptitude excellently.

I maintain that's harsh on Muric, as is the slow mo, it looks like he has all the time in the world. The reality Hallam as well, is that he has little idea where attackers or defenders are, he does not have time to look across and check, you can only have eyes for the ball in that situation, the rest is experience and instinct. Yes, he is wrong in my opinion, you always aim to leave yourself time to get to a cross if it looks like it's heading in... but just think for a second if he had dived for the corner to get to the cross and an attacker headed it in to the middle of an open net, everyone would be taping away on their keyboards about how 'he's so bad he even dives out the way of shots!!!1!'. You can't win, and you can't criticise until you've been a keeper at a decent level, it ain't easy.

The problem is that it is not just this though. The guy does not own his box (even though he is 9 foot tall), is dreadful with the ball at his feet and cannot make a decision to save his life! He is bang average at best - I said before I don't want to see him playing for us again and I stick by it.

Very much agree - he was a breath of fresh air on Saturday...

There really were some positives to take from the Brentford match. We really did battle until the end. What a superb shot that was from Delap that hit the post! I think Muric lost sight of the ball for their 4th from whatever his name is. It doesn’t excuse Muric. I certainly don’t like him because I’ve dealt with males from that part of the world. Don’t wanna set stereotypes, but they seem to be egocentric.

Imagine where we’d be though save all of the stupid defensive errors. We’ve proven we can create goal scoring chances, so I’m not sure what Shearer was going on about. The stats that are against us are mostly defensive errors.

Will that change?…probably not unfortunately. We desperately need Tuanzebe and Greaves back soon! I mean, couldn’t they just have cut off his thumb? It would heal faster? Just joking of course.

How do we approach Leicester? In my opinion we throw everything we’ve got and the kitchen sink and go for the win.

Muric at practice with GK coach:

Coach: You have to command the box.
M: Okay coach, I command da box with my big…hands hahaha!
Coach: You have to have better ball distribution.
M: Haha coach I distribute my balls as you say!
Coach: Let’s focus on your technical abilities.
M: Hold on coach. Heeeey Woolfy! Where you go for pint of lager tonight?
Coach: I really need your attention!
M: Aww it ok boss. Me be big Muric for Leicester game!
Coach: Let’s focus on minimizing errors.
M: Ya ya ok boss. Heeeey Kalvin! You going for pints and meat pie too??
Coach: Ok get off the fuckin pitch!
M: Oooh boss, you too mean. Lighten up goalie man. You going to pub with us?
Coach: No I’m going home to cry!
