            YOU ABSOLUTE BASTARD REFEREE!!!!!!
 LB on Brentford's penalty: "I thought it was soft. I've seen challenges like that not be given. The ref said to me 'Josh got a touch on the ball but it was his follow through'. You can't control that when two people are running at each other."
 Benrahma was on the way down the moment Cullen got a touch on the ball

            Unlucky not to get a point.
 No real complaints other than Aneke is just no threat, even on simple tasks. You know Taylor would've put the fear of God in Jansen and Pinnock when they were trying to play out from the back, but Chuks just strolled about giving them zero pressure. I'd give Davison a chance as sub next game.
 JFC, Cullen, Field & Williams as a combo oozed quite a bit of class at times.
 The camera work was dreadful from iFollow or whoever produces it.1

 Cullen but for me he won the ball then cleared out Benrahma.cafcsinger said:Who gave away the penalty?
 I don't think he touched the ball.
 I have only seen one replay and I agree Bob.
 Anyone at the reverse fixture knows we rode our luck when winning 1-0. Hoping for another 95 minutes of keeping Brentford out when creative players have the ball just outside the area would have taken a miracle.
 I said we needed another goal to win when 1 up.(I was wrong !) A really tough defeat to take, but we lost our shape on 60 minutes and the pressure ramps up again.

            Would like to know what the subs should have been. Our squad has very limited attacking options, that’s down to the budget rather than Bowyer.Whatever subs were made it would have been flawed in some way. Too defensive, not enough energy, not enough pace etc.Bowyer is clearly taking the upcoming games into account and doesn’t want to lose players like Pratley, Williams or Doughty to injury through overplaying them.
 Could say put McGeady on but he hasn’t been that much of a threat going forward, and he isn’t great for tracking back and defending.10

            Most people on here before the game were expecting us to lose, in fact some were hoping we didn't get hammered so our GD didn't suffer too much. Brentford were the better side, and we did what we could do with limited resources. Field, Williams and Doughty were knackered and that's why they were subbed. We lost 2-1, not ideal, but as to my first point people were expecting a drubbing. It's still in our hands and 2 wins from the next 3 is definitely possible. I still believe we will stay up, but it'll be by the smallest of margins. Would be very good if Millwall and Bristol City can win tomorrow night.

 But it was Bowyer who chose to replace Williams with Lapslie rather than say McGeady who was the nearest in the squad who could play the same role.Killarahales said:Pearce own goal for the second. Doughty had nothing left, had to come off. Same for Williams and Field had a knock. It's not Bowyer's fault that Lapslie and Morgan are not Championship standard. As already posted, we are 4 points and a better goal difference ahead of third from bottom. I think we did well tonight, overall, and I hope the same eleven start on Saturday; we'll have a good chance of a win. Keep the faith.
 Yes Green was rubbish against Cardiff, but he would at least have provided us a bit of pace for the last few minutes if he'd been on the bench, which is what we had in the first half.0

 We are clearly a team. We're at least as good a team as Brentford, who play and understand each other beautifully - they just happen to have much better players.4

 We play for each other and set up as well as any other team. We are just limited in ability and therefore execution.oohaahmortimer said:

 I was gonna do a long post moaning, but the first comment sums up my feelings.SELR_addicks said:Taking off all of our counter-attack threats for zero quality killed us.
 When you sit back, you need someone up front able to hold up the ball and pick a pass. Once Williams + Field went off we had nothing.
 Loss was inevitable at that point.0

            Sorry..... the subs opened us up to relentless Brentford pressure. We were always going to give at least one away. Disappointing...... Move on next game.1

 Spot on talal. Only thought is that williams was that injured we had tonsacrficie him for lasplie 🙈Talal said:
 No one, he wasn't running on empty was still tracking back and looked as energetic as anyone. Was too soon getting him off.ForeverAddickted said:
 Who would you have taken Williams off for?SELR_addicks said:Taking off Williams and bringing on Lapsie is such a difference in quality. It shows our lack of depth.
 Dont just sit there and bemoan decisions from Bowyer, actually suggest what he should have done better?0

 Why do you think it took until game 42 for a top six side to beat us?3

 At this point, where GD could be crucial, I would rather take a 2-1 like this than a 4-0 trying to take a game to a team far better than usThe Red Robin said:Really don't understand this mentality of "Well, at least we didn't get battered." Absolute tin pot mentality that.2

 to me we are nowhere as good a team as brentford but we obvioulsy have different ideas on what a team isPaddyP17 said:

 In most circumstances I'd completely agree with you.The Red Robin said:Really don't understand this mentality of "Well, at least we didn't get battered." Absolute tin pot mentality that.
 However, we played away at the form team of the division. The one thing we have going for us in the tight relegation struggle we are in the thick of is a better goal difference than most of the teams around us.
 Goal difference could prove to be crucial and is almost worth an extra point.

 So the ref says Cullen won the ball first, but then still gives a penalty? Absolute jokeForeverAddickted said:10

 Makes a mockery of the laws of the game. He won the challenge because he won the ball. He can’t help momentum taking both himself and Benrahma going into each other.KentishAddick said:

 Exactly... Brentford dont get the penalty and probably dont get the momentum that gets them the second goal either as the decision will have lifted their playersSage said:

 If thats a penalty then nearly every challenge in the box is a penalty as endless tackles etc. have the players momentum going into the opposition4
