We were so much better once Field and Willock replaced Ball and Dykes. Brentford were the better team by far in the first half and should have been 2 up.
Second half we were loads better and once we scored we were in control.
I cannot wait to watch the full 90 in 2 days time! It sounds like a closely fought game and one of two halves!!
It really was that proverbial game of 2 halves. If you haven't seen the Brentford goal you will be staggered at the total lack of reaction there was to Toney making his run to the near post.
Ball really does frighten me because in that first half he looked lost and once he got booked I thought he was going to eventually get sent off. Northwesthoop made the point about why we let him play 10 minutes of the 2nd half, it just didn't make sense.
Dykes like Bonne is just not up to Championship football. They could learn so much from watching Ivan Toney who ran around niggling at our defenders and making a general pain of himself. In the process Toney out thought our static defence and scored.
I must say a big thank you to WBA for allowing Charlie and Sam to come on loan because they did what very few of our own players could do.
Did you see Charlie's celebration after getting his goal and as it turned out, the winner. It really meant a lot and he was up and celebrating by the Brentford bench. Oh to have been there tonight, winning is great but so much more satisfying against Brentford!
