Baddar Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Brentford v Swansea is on now. Noticed the red card from the other day has been overturned, unsurprisingly. And Brentford have turned it around already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Lineker Posted July 29, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Good for Brentford. Nice way to sign off at their old stadium. Either them or Fulham going up would be fine. Fulham better because Liam, and also Scott Parker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA! Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Fulham would make next season a near 'best of' line-up in the Premier League, but I'd like to see Brentford go up just for someone new. As long as it's not Cardiff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I hope its Brentford that goes up just to see a new side I haven't seen in the Prem before. I always prefer or teams that have been out of the top flight for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Id have preferred West Brom not to have come up and Brentford and Fulham both coming up. Fulham play some entertaining football but I would like a new team like Brentford in the Prem. It's just shit on them if they get promoted that obviously ATM grounds are shut.

Baddar Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Cardiff did better than I was expecting in that 2nd leg. It's clear that if they did come up though, their defence just wouldn't have coped in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm just sick of West Brom - put them and Norwich in their own special little league so they don't bother anyone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 West Brom could well be a bit different under Bilic in the PL next season. But it also wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him sacked by Christmas after a poor start, before appointing one of the usual managers employed to try and get a club out of relegation trouble.

It's clear that if they did come up though, their defence just wouldn't have coped in the PL. It was a weird one. I think having the two goal advantage - while obviously being the thing that gave us the win - made us more nervy in a manner we weren't the previous game. Though Cardiff gave us a good run for our money, their goals were ... lucky might be a bit harsh, but they weren't from being outplayed by them. First goal, you have the foul throw before and the potential foul on the goalkeeper; second goal, Tomlin is offside on the first ball but luckily has the ball pinball to him from a couple of Fulham players. Rodak made a couple of other good saves, but Smithies was the better keeper on the night - his save from Knockaert in the first half was great; his save from Kamara onto the post was even better in the second half. I know stats are stats and can be manipulated to meet your needs, but I think we should have had enough in us when you look at shots, possession etc to have beaten them last night. We definitely deserved it over the two games personally, though I would say that. We aren't great against Brentford, but I always think it is the more physical teams that give us problems, such as your Cardiffs. We shall see. Considering they are our rivals, I probably shouldn't say this, but I'd have preferred Brentford to go up instead of West Brom as well. I also would understand people wanting them to go up above Fulham. People tend to like us, but it is always interesting to see different teams in the top league and I wonder how they'd cope.

It just seems like (most of the time) Norwich are too good for the Championship but nowhere near good enough for the Premier League. The latter comes from inadequate investment in better players whenever they go up. I can't explain why they've managed to get promoted so often, beyond having an above averagely sized and incredibly dedicated fan base on account of being the only league team in Norfolk (for now, come on King's Lynn). They weren't even favourites to go up last year, let alone win the league, and then barely changed that squad despite the massive jump in opposition quality. It's no wonder they've gone straight back down and I'm not surprised that they've lost every game since crowds stopped being a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA! Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 There's being sensible with money, then there's just throwing away any chance of making more money in the long time. I know the risk doesn't pay off at times like with Fulham, Cardiff and Middlesborough. But if you don't invest now, when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were stupid and broke the rules and deserve everything we got ..... just fortunate it was next season and not this season as we’d have been relegated ..... I won’t go on a rant about Monk but I worry with him in charge ..... hopefully we can get a couple of youngsters and people in on loan and survive next season as I think Wycombe, Rotherham and Luton will struggle.
