At home and massive local derby match up next......

[Melman Giraffe]

Just found out trains aren't stopping at Kew and Brentford, also M4 shut from junction 3. Going to be fun being a local derby. Well done TFL your timing is impeccable looks like I will need to get to the pub earlier than usual 😃

No but I have faith in Alvero

Was at the leicester game, disapointing for us, but I do worry we aren't putting our chances away.

Hopefully a toney hatrick against Norwich will get him in the goals groove again, hes been playing well, but more as a holding striker.

Poor first half today, better second half but I think our injuries are starting to show. Also seemed really flat in the stadium which doesn't help. Anyway on to Newcastle away

Not good at all.
Norwich have always been a bit of a bogey team for us in the Championship.....loosing to Burney and now to Norwich, could come back to bite us come season end.
I'm hope not.....but starting to have some concerns.

You often see promoted teams make a good start, then lack of depth in their squads, and injuries start to have an impact, and after a few games they get sussed out by the established teams, and once the slide starts it is difficult to stop.

My team, Norwich, start all this from the first game, at least Brentford and Watford have pushed it into double figures

Hopefully all three will survive but I very much doubt it.

Great game today but I'm worried about the keeper and we're missing Ajer big time Well deserved point, roll on Everton next Sunday.

Vital 3 points today.....

[aeropilot]

That should have been another 3 points

[mattwh]

Pretty lackluster first half - but the two goals set the Bees up for a win - shame about the last minute equalizer but a good performance. Needed a front man to hit but Ivan is out for a while with C. Fans were top class - a real credit.

Bess v Man U postponed due to covid

Gutted

For sure we didn't play well but the atmosphere was great, the 12th man was in full effect. My next game is Southampton away, will miss the port vale game unfortunately. COYB

[Melman Giraffe]

I'm off to Southampton shortly. Should be a decent game

Wasn't a decent result

Should have at least been aiming to get a draw out of that match.

I'm just beginning to get a little nervous. Watford's next 3 matches are all against the bottom 3 teams, and if they come out of that with 9 points, things will start to become even more nervous, although, if the current bottom 3 keep loosing, with our points advantage we might still be OK. Could really do with those matches being draws, which would suit us perfectly, especially with 4 or our next 7 matches being against City, Utd, Liverpool & Arsenal.......

'm a Saints fan and I was amazed your manager felt your team was equal last night. I like the Bees and this you have done brilliantly but you did not turn up last night despite what your manager said.

I hope and think you'll be fine as there are some poor teams in the league and you play some nice football usually

[Melman Giraffe]

I would say we are both mid table teams and if we had played like I know we can I think it would have been a close game. You are right we didn't turn up and we were well beaten. Anyway every team has an off day and that was ours. On to Liverpool tomorrow.
