Sir Ralph

It’s called the Team of the Week not Team of Last Week. Guy is a dinosaur

Any further news on Stephens contract extension? I assume he could start talking to other clubs now

Sounds good to me. Why would the Director of Football leave Brentford unless the new owners have good ambitions - obviously money may play a part but I would have thought that reputation is important. Also if this guy owns the rights to the Premier League in the Balkans I would suspect he wants to invest to improve the watchability

Fair enough. I was in the part of the itchen that saw more of him in first half than second. Like I said defensively ok (he was better second half) but whenever he came forward Adam Armstrong was making good runs and he couldn’t pick him out once. At risk of repeating myself I lay a significant amount of blame for the penalty incident on him.

Same game as you. Other people that were watching thought the same as me. Also, he played son onside - it was schoolboy defending. I suggest you look at the still and then you might see he was to blame for the situation. I was screaming at him to step up but he was worried about Emerson and stepped back but Emerson was no danger at all. Been poor in nearly every game I’ve seen. He’s ok at defending but poor attacking. not to detract from the performance of the rest of the team. On what basis do you think he played well?

Everyone played well and did their part. Valery and Bednarek were particularly good but Perraud is poor though - bad distribution and crossing

The last three games the team has shown more character, culminating in yesterdays performance. Hopefully they are turning a corner in terms of getting rid of their soft side

Another poor ref.

Will he want to go back though. Lukaku, Havertz, Werner and Abraham are already there

Tella and Broja looking good

McCarthy has lost us points this year. Forster hasn’t made an error and looked more commanding. Decision should be clear, as well as dropping Walcott forever. Need to get a good quality attacking midfielder in Jan. albeit doubt we have money

Assume he thought El Ghazi shouldn’t have been sent off twice

Well done Ralph. Good first half and nullified them in 2nd half with bringing Lyanco on. Last season he wouldn’t have done that

Team battled really well. Lyanco was a beast at the back. Ralph sets our teams out well but we need some punch up top - if we had some money to spend on 2-3 decent attackers we’d be half decent. Walcott should not be allowed near a football pitch. His contribution so far this year is a penalty miss.

Livramento and Broja both looked excellent. Not convinced by Perraud - KWP deserves to be playing particularly after Chelsea. I would be more effective than Walcott if I was blind folded and sent onto the pitch. Thank goodness Armstrong is back.

Great performance- robbed by that twat Moss

Absolutely robbed. So Walker won the challenge legally?

Useless ref

Seriously xxx off redmond you waste of space. Mentally weak everytime

Yes pretty good window overall - best for a while: Positives; Good money for Ings and reasonable for Jannik Got rid of Lemina, Gunn and Hoedt Armstrong looks like a decent striker for reasonable money Tino looks a steal We now have at least 2 players for each position - v important Negatives Could maybe have got a new keeper and got rid of Forster / McCarthy Would have been good to have a Romeu replacement We signed Walcott

Agree like his attitude

If he’s as good as people say he is I hope we are ready to offer him a new contract when he turns 18! This has been a pretty good transfer window to be fair to those in charge. We have lost Ings and Vestegaard and I’m still saying that so they must be doing something right. I get the feeling that this is the first year and Ralph and Seemens are less hamstrung by the unsellables and they are starting to show what they can do

Is three years the maximum a 17 year old can sign?

Seems like this guy is intended to be back up. That’s fine as long as we use our surplus funds for a LB and defensive midfielder. If Perraud or Romeu get injured we are in trouble. I think a lot of the problems we had last year was missing the holding player and physicality that Romeu has and we need to be able to replace that when he isn’t playing.

Kid is great. Reminds me of SHAW at same age.
