Decent Performance

Overall a little unlucky to lose - we matched them on attempts on goal and just behind them on all goal attempts.

Their second was lucky and we hit the inside of the post and it came out - like Derby's second against us.

We were a bit toothless in the first half, but much better in the second half. Personally I would not have three strikers on away from home at a team like Brentford with 15 minutes to go. I would rather try and frustrate them a little and catch them on the break.
 
Disappointed not to get a point. We played well in parts, but let them get too many balls into the box. Am not sure our defence is strong enough at the moment when don't have the extra central defender as both our full backs look to attack. Not sure why we brought on Gestede with five minutes to go at two all away from home. All in all some lessons to learn, but plenty of positives too.
 
Interesting points above, would settling for the point be too Karanka or Pulis?

Personally I would have tried to shut up shop but the fact remains that if Fletcher had taken one of his good chances we could be sat here celebrating another excellent away win.

A strange goal line technology goal which nobody can verify yet, a deflected shot and an unlucky bounce off the post. It was fine margins today, we nearly pulled it off.
 
Very frustrating outcome, it's hard to take it when we pegged them back twice and did well overall. Guess the overall performance bodes well for the next few games against clubs around us.
 
Frustrating but we were forecast to lose and we came way with nil points. The next few games are vital in which we must come away with results to avoid an end of the season relegation slog.
 
Good team spirit - midfield a bit lost today although Saville had a stormer...Wing was lost and then he puts in a cracker ...then lost again hahaha. Pleased we gave them a good game and as usual could have gone with us easily.... Pleased overall and oh yes The Big un was good to watch
