So Junior treat me to an early christmas prezzie today. Brentford match tickets. Love going to footy with my lad. Something I wish we could do much more often, but that's another story.
So first half, well what can I say? A worse performance I can hardly remember. To a man we were shocking. Wouldn't start to single anyone out for special attention. They were all simply as bad as each other! My mind wandered back to Watford away two seasons back. 4-0 if I remember correctly. Don't think a sole big man up front is what we want to see, regardless of who the big man is. Don't think we had a genuine shot at goal in the whole of the first. Second had to be better. If only to regain a modicum of respect. And so it was, worlds apart. The introduction of Wells for Ish, but more importantly, Dempsey for Holmes, changed the whole balance of the game. When the early second half goal went in from Lolley, there was definitely an amazing comeback on the cards. Until “that” penalty! Now it was down the other end, but looked soft to say the least. And after studying Sky footage, it was clearly a very good tackle by the youngster from Leicester! Killed the unlikely comeback in an instant. Still had chances for Nakki, but wasn't going to be his day.
I can understand boos to some extent. But only directed at those who do not give everything they have at their disposal. Not at those who do, but simply aren't up to it any more. Happens to us all as time catches up. Did anybody else who was there, notice that as Hudson left the pitch applauding the support, then holding both hands up, in acceptance of a personal poor performance, and beating his hand on the badge on his chest. Genuine guy. He knows the score. Doesn't need any reminding. Boo if you must. Each to their own. It's not for me!
