[Football] Is there a team more deserving of rotting in League One than Brentford?

Why pick out Brentford? Everyone in the bottom half employs near identical tactics against us ... for the obvious reason, it works.
But it doesn’t. Stuck 4 past Palace, 5 past Sheffield Utd and beat Forest at home. Lost to Spurs and Liverpool away in the same period.

Brentford are a special kind of dull.

They're dull because they fought for a clean sheet and didn't let us score 5 past them?

Brighton
We claim to be found out - don't come at us, just sit back and defend and we won't score, if you can counter, great. If that is how to beat us/avoid losing to us, how can we be surprised that teams do it? It has been shown to be ineffective by the lesser teams against teams like City, United, Liverpool etc, so of course they won't try it v them.

Brentford just need to get through this season, sell Toney to the highest bidder, rebuild and kick on. I dont blame them for settling for a point in the circumstances.

Yep. Any team that time wastes at 0-0 at home should be shot, resuscitated and shot again.

Interestingly they were happy to attack the hell out of Man Utd.

But the blueprint for playing Brighton is very very different

This & That old boring “come on you reds”

how feckin old are they all….

There was a funny thing on about 60 minutes. About a third of their tiny crowd got angry with their complete lack of ambition, it was countered in a split second by the two-thirds happy clappers with appreciative clapping. Don’t know why, made be laugh.
