A very welcome win, 3 points is what it was all about at this stage of the season.
We played ok, rode our luck when they missed an open goal early 2nd half, a late penalty claim waived away and as we had failed to capitalise on good periods of play to score a vital 2nd we had to manage the game out. Wells had 2-3 efforts of varying diffficulty saved or take off his toes, his overall play was good.
I thought Billing was excellent and subbed too early for me Mooy coming on but Phil was allover, Payne rightly replaced for Izzy. VLP lots of tricks and step over no real crosses as we dont have anyone in the box, seems the goaly misjudged his shot with a defender in front, but all gifts greatly received.
Looking forward to Friday now, again will need to grind out the right result down Brizzzzzle who won today, I think the squad will welcome a free midweek fixture to get ready, perhaps we have a few carrying knocks, Brown & Wells seem to be hobbling around.
The support was excellent, non stop in the standing area, a lovely summer feel to the day in the smoke and pubs around the ground.
Ward made an early save but had little else directed at him, back 4 looks tight, just same slack possesion giving them chances. Brentford looked bright a decent side we knew that from last season and the close 2-1 early season win.
