Is Grimes playing ffs!

Its cleverer than that. Franks has targeted our fulcrum, not giving Grimes any space, whatsoever.

Brentford normally vacate the middle of midfield to expand the game. Tonight they have chosen to stifle our game instead, which makes sense as they are up against it mentally.

Credit to us for recognising this and as a result us having the best of the chances.

Think its going how we all secretly thought it would. Seems Coops doesn't know wether to stick or twist going forward as Brentford look sharper going forward than us.
Fancy us tho from a set piece.

Hoof!

Churchillian speech from Cooper coming up...

Brewster makes it 1-0.

Ayew from the penalty spot 2-0.

Final whistle blows and it's advantage Swansea.

If Carlsberg did second half's

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Grown into the game but need to move the ball quicker, should be 1-0 up.

For some reason I'd prefer to draw or lose by the odd goal today so we have to chase and play at theirs.

If we go into the 2nd leg winning and try to hold a goal advantage, well we all know how them games go.

I'd prefer to smash them 15-0 tonight and put it to bed.

So Grimes is our fulcrum and they have changed their game accordingly...

Ok then

We can match them here.. Fulton becoming a passenger

Surprise stat on TV we have conceded less goals from set pieces than any other side in the league.

 

[airedale]

We need to cut out the aimless hoofing. Just inviting them straight back onto us.

We used to do it in the PL too, v annoying.

Lovely move there. Ayew didn’t quire get enough spin on it.
