No, you bloody well can't.

Yes he can and that was also the opinion of most of those at the match. I suspect from your post that you weren't.

Any more?

We looked like world-beaters for the first 15 minutes, then Brentford's first goal against the run of play gave them all sorts of confidence and we went downhill from there. Was very impressed with Brentford.

I'm not at all sure that we have the players for the system Sammi wants to use. The defending was awful with the full backs nowhere to be seen.

Stockdale 5. A couple of decent stops, one as a result of his own poor throw, but not at all convinced.
Calderon 5. One of his poorest games for us.
Dunk 4. A real off day.
Greer 8. A good defensive performance and a great goal. Two or three wayward passes as usual.
Bennett 5. Needs to do better.
Holla 6. Thought he was one of our better players and a great goal.
Crofts 5.
Gardner 5. Needs to put more energy into his game.
Tex 6. Some lovely touches, but also frequently failed to release the ball early enough.
Colunga 5. Not yet convinced about him.
Baldock 6. With better service he could have scored a couple.

Subs:
Hughes 6. Did OK.
Lua Lua 4. A no-impact sub yesterday. Almost nothing he tried came off.
CMS 6. Plenty of energy. Would have liked him to have had longer with Baldock.

Overall a major disappointment, but a great game for the neutral. I certainly prefer to watch a 3-2 defeat than a 1-0 defeat. Not convinced by some of our new signings. How we could have done with Glenn Murray!

Yep, that's pretty much exactly how I saw it too. I honestly thought we'd win 3-0 or something at 15 mins; we were that good. We did have one come off the post, one cleared off the line and a disallowed goal, so the attacking intent was there alright. The new players - well, I'll give them a few more games before I decide, but the lack of defence was pretty shocking. We can't go through the season conceding 3 a game - we'll never win!
