Nice to win but this is the footballing equivalent of treading water. Let's beat someone semi decent before we start showering praise on a very disappointing team.

I'm aware this might trigger the ENIC enablers.
Yes, it’s good to get a win and I wasn’t overly confident beforehand today that we would get 3 points.

We have beaten the team that finished 16th last season and have lost their talismanic striker. We need 4 points from 6 from the two away games before international break.

I was driving listening so I didn't see. Did Vicario actually touch the ball outside the area? Commentators were convinced he did and were positive VAR would review and he'd get a red.

Even if he did though, VAR can't review that if it's missed on the field correct?
He did. That's not a Red. Commentator's are idiots, don't know the rules. He didn't stop a goal scoring opportunity
 
Well that was fun. I was entertained. Pleasantly surprised by how supportive but chilled the atmosphere was. Maybe it was the balmy weather or maybe I just forgot the Internet can often bring out the worst in people. Bar the odd defensive and goalkeeping keystone cops moments, everyone performed pretty well.

Made up to see big Dom's first for us, and a boost for Madders and Brennan's confidence. Loved seeing the cameo from the 3 youngsters at the end too. Even though it made me feel like a very old lady....

It was definitely better in some aspects today, but Vicario needs sorting out.
Keeping a clean sheet would be an achievement, would like to see us beat one of our so called top.six rivals.
To be fair Mbuemo did a Zidane-esque volley without the zizou.

But Vicario made some top saves even if he did nearly gift them a goal.

It's mad but not getting a clean sheet had nothing to do with Vicario performance
 
Just got back, just seen goals on replay.

Observations....

1) we won the game with less possession than the opposition
2) we scored all 3 after winning the ball and getting into the scoring position quickly with minimal passes
3) we worked hard to win the ball back and have chances quickly rather than ponderously passing it about for 50-60 passes on the whole
4) our defending scared me
5) despite mostly dominating, Brentford could have got something out of the game until the very end
6) I don't understand how our defending is so comical
7) heard most areas sing Johnson off the pitch..... and some idiots behind me twisting the words to moan about him being weak
8) all round improvements, well done team.

The defending worried me today, it's quite scary how badly we defend, could be very detrimental to our season if this isn't improved.
