Ruthless is the best way to describe today. Brentford started better but were caught out on our first attack. I'd like to see the sending off again, Hooper got the drop on their defender but was caught up just outside the area and went down under what appeared slight contact. If the ref thought it was a foul then he had to send the defender off, and he duly did. We scored not long after but Brentford were still causing lots of nervy moments for us. However, Hooper got away again and struck a lethal shot from the edge of the area for the clinching goal. After that it was a stroll. Lee rounded off a great spell of possession with smartly taken goal to round off one of the best first halves of the season. After an early bright burst from Wednesday in the second half we just dropped into first gear and kept the ball well with occasional forays into their half. Joao came on late and took his goal well from the edge of the area in front of the Kop and was mobbed by the players, including Semedo off the bench! Hopefully this will boost his confidence, he's definitely looked a bit down recently.
With some of the other results it's turned out to be a great day. Hope Washington enjoyed it and MS on his VIP day out.
