Brentford (home) player ratings
- Thread starter DJ NOBO
- Start date
I agree in the main with most of this so far but stand outs for me would be:
Stockdale - 5 terrible kicking and wished he'd stayed on line for first as although it narrowed angle I thought giving their striker more to do would have been better.
Bong - 5 would have been a 3 but recovered with 2 or 3 good solid defensive clearances. Otherwise he slows play down, is ponderous and offered nothing going forward.
Hemed - thought we were playing with 10 men for first 20 minutes. 4
Norwood - 6 but no Stephens
Dunk - 8 Solid
Duffy - 7 nice touches on the ball but need to check replay to see if he was put on his ass or slipped for their second
Manu - 6 So unlucky to be booked, knocked confidence as otherwise looked brighter than last years cameos
Hughton - 4 learn from errors, play Stephens on Tuesday and CHANGE THINGS SOONER. Was so obviously not working today yet waited and waited and waited

What kind of reception did Stephens get?
Think it's about time Bong was given a long lay-off, he has been a liability since he came back from injury at the end of last season. Pocognoli surely can't do much worse despite his lack of recent gametime.

I don't normally do these as I don't think I have the knowledge but
Stockdale 3. We need to give Maanpa a run
Bruno 3 Everything he did today didn't work. Sorry to see him have such a poor game.
Dunk 8 He was just a different level
Duffy 4 Surely he should be covering behind Bruno. He was nowhere to be seen for first goal. Sorry he must be better than that for what we paid.
Bong 3 Not good I'm afraid
Knockart 7 He tried very hard and was so much better than anyone else in a forward position
Kyal 6 Not his best but still some good work
Norwood 6 Quite liked what I saw but Dale is better
Murphy 4 Not his game. Liked some of what I saw last season so hopefully will improve oin today
Hemed 3 Didn't work for him today
Murry 4 Got 1 more than Hemed only because he wasn't quite as bad as him.
Elvis Hmmmm maybe
Stevens good to see him back
Ref God what can I say. It was a pen right in front of us and how we got 5 yellows to their 2 I will never understand.

As much as that? I don't normally knock officials, but him and the lino at the south end were dire. Almost makes Mike Dean look competent.
Brentford fans: 5 What an irritating lot. 'Shit Crystal Palace' (yawn). And if you're going to make such chants, make sure you sell out your allocation first. 70 miles away, and well short of filling your section.
If this is the Elvis one then I'm sure it was just outside of the box

Stockdale 5 Did nothing wrong but it is times lik today when you need your keeper to excel
Bruno 4 Very poor defensively
Duffy 5 Won a few headers but very unsure on the ground lets hope it is just a settling in mode.
Dunk 7 Only player to show his worth
Bong 6.5 Thought he had a good game despite what others have said
Knockaert 6 Some good runs but didnt look like he would produce anything.
Norwood 5 Mot passes over 5yds went either to the opposition or out of play, definitely not a replacement for Stephens.
Kayal 6 Ran around as if lost without his partner in midfield
Murphy 6 Some good runs but into nowwhere.
Hemed 6 Looks lost half the player of last year.
Murray 6,5 Plenty of effort and the only one likely to have scored
Subs:
Stephens 5 Not on long enough to influence the game but got stuck in and myust start on Tuesday.
Manu 5 tried hard but must stay on his feet
Skalak.5 Ran at their defenders without looking dangerous
Ref and Lineman on the west side 3 dont think they got 1 decision correct. and they are full time God help us.
Bruno 4 Very poor defensively
Duffy 5 Won a few headers but very unsure on the ground lets hope it is just a settling in mode.

Stockdale 6 Didn't do much wrong but defence isn't inspiring confidence
Bruno 3 Terrible. Out of position for virtually the whole match and was playing like a Hyypia full back
Duffy 4 Did ok when faced straight on but has no link up with Bruno at all
Dunk 7 Composed and impressive
Bong 5 Looks shaky
Knockaert 7 Worked hard. Created but was occasionally a bit too selfish
Kayal 5 Didn't have his usual influence. Looked tired
Norwood 5 Decent start, faded badly
Murphy 5 See Norwood
Hemed 6 Worked hard but is essentially being sacrificed for Murray
Murray 5 Dragged out of position a lot, looked to work hard but not at his best
Subs:
Manu 7 Worked very hard. Some hideous refereeing cost him a ludicrous booking
Stephens 6 An improvement
Skalak 6 Did more than Murphy in a shorter time
Overall, it seems like our defence has never played together. So much time was spend looking around in confusion. For me, Goldson gets in and Pocognoli too. Hemed or Murray out for Baldock or Manu and Stephens in for Norwood.
One bad result doesn't kill a season and we have a big enough squad to recover. Roll on Tuesday!

Stockdale - 4 to blame for the first and perhaps the 2nd, distribution wise. Although he did make a couple of good saves. Just off form.
Bruno 5 poor
Bong 5
Dunk 8
Duffy 6
Kayal 5
Norwood 5
Murphy 5
Knockaert 7.5
Hemed 4 no movement
Murray 4 lethargic
Manu 6
Skalak 5

None deserving of ratings . Appeared like they didn't know each other, too many misplaced passes, thought I was in a time warp back to the dark days of Hypia.

Everyone a 4 apart from;
Dunk - Only player to come out of that with credit. - 7
Norwood - Offers nothing when we don't have the ball and tries the Hollywood ball too often when we have it - 3
Bruno - Worst he's played in over a year - 3
Manu - Deserves to be in the squad v Huddersfield - 6

Totally agree with you on this. Often the scapegoat and sometimes rightly so but I thought he was pretty damn good today, especially in comparison to the rest.

I too thought he was one of our better players today
