[Albion] Shooooooooooooooot...!

[JonnyComeEarly]

What has happened?

Why won't our players shoot at will like we used to?

So many incredible positions and we are reluctant to put our foot through it



Please just shoot!!

 

[Mustafa II]

There are defenders in the way, as the opposition strategy against us has evolved into overloading the box, as it is proven to be effective against us. As a result, it is not as easy to shoot on sight as you are making it sound.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I really don’t think that was an issue tonight, we had 24 shots FFS?!

They were just mainly from Enciso and mainly just shit.

there were several opportunities tonight, one in particular for o’riley which comes to mind, where a shot inexplicably wasn’t taken. so the OP raises a valid point imo.

Unless your name is Ayari.

Nearly an absolute screamer from mitoma.

Encisco hit the post

Ayari missed by miles from 8 yards

March Nearly with the dream return

People must be absolutely blind if they think we didn't have A LOT MORE THAN ENOUGH of hopeless long distance shots.

Jesus wept. Really wasnt!

 

[METALMICKY]

The worst one was Adingra at the end when Minteh broke down the right. Nice ball across and for Adingra not to get a shot off was criminal.

 

[Sorrel]

Such a frustrating evening. We did shoot, just mostly over the bar or occasionally at the keeper.

Bollocks. We were taking too many touches and making too many passes, it’s as simple as that. Players have lost all confidence, they are hesitant to shoot when given the chance.

are you a Brentford fan stumbling onto the wrong board?

Apparently we should have had 50 shots instead of the 24 we managed tonight.

 

[Deadly Danson]

We are criminally overplaying. Sometimes, just sometimes whip an early cross in, sometimes shoot first time. It does, I'm afraid remind me of the first couple of years of Potter at the moment. I'm sure it'll come good if we are patient but it's bloody frustrating.

 

[Mattstrugnell]

Been a thing with us for a long time

Didn't do very much to test the substitute keeper when he came on

 

[DJ NOBO]

Evan may not have been on the subs bench but he was there in spirit tonight

 

[macbeth]

i don’t recall him having to make one decent save. playing against ten ben behind the ball will do that.

 

[B-right-on]

Realistically we didn't test their keeper after the sub. It was his PL debut and Brentford have the worst away record in the league but I can hardly remember a real opportunity once Flecken went off.

Don't understand why we just didn't go into target practice mode and just have a go at every opportunity.

So frustrating.

Dunk basically admitted that in his post match interview.
