I think we have a chance against Arsenal, but if you’re expecting a result then you might need to give your head a shake. -
Brentford vs West Ham - Sat 2nd May - 3pm
I didn’t mean to all out attack, just really aim for 3 points - not happy with 1 (which would usually be a good one) -
Brentford vs West Ham - Sat 2nd May - 3pm
Go all out? I've just watched Man U go all out against Brentford and they could / should have conceded 3 goals.
Surely we play to our strengths, which is counter attacking. After all it's seems to have worked over the last 13 games. -

I don’t think that’s so certain, we’ve not lost at home since January & this Arsenal side are not the side that was running away with the league a couple of months ago. I don’t think a point is unthinkable. -
Brentford vs West Ham - Sat 2nd May - 3pm
We have to go all out as there is a real chance we’ll be back in the bottom 3 with 2 to play if we don’t win this. -
Referees
I think he was booking them for squaring up but Gabriel clearly went further into violent conduct and VAR would have taken that view I feel sure but didn't get involved. It was one of many hard to understand incidents of the last couple of weeks. I think VAR is getting afraid to intervene and change games. -
Brentford vs West Ham - Sat 2nd May - 3pm
The smart money would definitely be on a draw for this fixture as Brentford have drawn their last six matches in all comps, whilst we are adopting a safety first strategy at present in my view, I do feel however that we must go all out for three points with Arsenal to follow this fixture.
We drew in the FA Cup recently but I felt we were the better side and so with the incentive we have at present, the team spirit and fight we have in us I am really hopeful we can take the three points home with us and see how Spurs respond to the pressure in their match at Villa on the Sunday.
I really hope Nuno doesn't try and defend a lead (if we get one) by bus parking again, as I feel he got lucky against Everton but may not do so again. I would press forward to get the first goal and then continue looking for the second. Bus parking is hard for the best of sides, but our defence, although much improved, is simply not up to it.
The only change I would consider is Pablo. I know we are divided in our view and I see his press and energy but his touch and control is really not up to standard for this level and I feel he doesn't bring enough. Trarore would be the obvious change but I could certainly agree to Pablo starting and Trarore coming on when they are softened up a little. If playing a wildcard then AWB for Pablo which may sound crazy but he has Pablo traits but better. He is physical, energetic, has limbs that grab the ball from any angle, but is also a footballer.
(Hands in prayer for three points)

Well done EXETER. 👏 -
Referees
Starting from next season, the video assistant referee will be able to review red cards resulting from two yellows, but they will not be able to look at missed second cautions.
This is super interesting to me, and I think will become a problem. At the moment, clearly there are refs not giving second yellows. To get a VAR review, they will need to give them, but VAR won’t overturn unless it’s clear and obvious. I can’t see how this doesn’t end up with more red cards next season. -
MOTM vs Everton
I believe we're at 16 for Soucek, 3 for Summerville, 1 each for Bowen & Walker-Peters
