A full house and a little bit of optimism after recent results so pick the best starting 11 and get at them. Or alternatively start with Mo, Diallo and Bednarek, give the ball away a lot, don't look like scoring all evening (apart from Che's obligatory miss) and then, to cap it all don't bother to mark at corners, the one thing that Brentford are good at...

Sadly, I think we are done now. Tonight was the big night. Brentford should not be able to play poorly and beat us so comfortably. Why on earth would be think we can beat the likes of Fulham, Bournemouth and Palace when we play like that. A truly miserable evening in every way. Why did we buy the big guy up front - has he had a decent headed opportunity yet? And finally, that guy going through at the end and scoring. Would Che or Walcott have put that in to equalize? Of course not...

Ward Prowse just does not want to link up with attackers. He just passes the ball, usually sideways or backwards, and then jogs, never any attempt at running through to overload in the box or create triangles like quality midfielders. Also with Elyounooseyourself starting we're pretty sure of conceding and with Adams playing we're sure not to score. I didn't know it was possible to have any sort of football team in which nobody at all is able to find the net, it's quite an achievement really.

The manager is getting it wrong and needs to throw away Ralph's old coaching and management manual. Still I suppose it's academic now really as we've left it too late. Ingsy's 10-15 certain one-man-effort goals would have seen us as safe as a church.

Mo & Diallo have been dire all season, so why on earth do you play them both in a must win game. Surprise surprise we played with no ambition & created next to nothing. Still

We've spent a lot of money to get goals from the Championship. Yet all our goals have just ended up going back there (as Nathan Tella bagged another three today): https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64884200.

66% possession and one shot on target days it all.

A frustrating and depressing night. A poor first half with Brentford well on top. Dominated the second half but only as Brentford sat back confident we wouldn't score. We never looked like winning this game.

Brentford's time wasting tactics and breaking the game up Newcastle style worked well. Seven minutes of injury time...a goal for them and nothing of note from us.

Lost this before we even kicked a ball, a truly defensive set up for a game we needed to win. Frank pushed a man on both our full backs and our attacking options were negated!

Getting paid £50,000 a week buck your ideas up or fehk off. Any body else earning this amount for what do do would be imprisoned by now let alone playing in the Premier League. What a joke. The owners haven't had a clue for the last two years.
