We asked for your thoughts after Sunday’s Premier League game between Brentford and Crystal Palace. Here are some of your comments:
Brentford fans
Neel: On that showing, we are not ready for Europe. I’m incredibly proud of how the season has played out and we need more fight, desire and quality before we progress to bigger things. Today was frankly, “meh”! Well done Bees and let’s keep developing.
Nige: Obvious where the Bees need strengthening. We were poor. Second to most second balls by a yard, with no anticipation, as we often are. We concede goals from mistakes, and only really attack in the last 10 minutes – and rarely convert. Glaring misses. We need more up front. Hendo made a difference. Thiago misses too many chances. Three or four better additions and we’ll do well next year.
Dave: Worst performance of the season – lethargic- just awful, awful awful.
Giles: A lesson in how to salvage a point while being thoroughly outplayed.
Crystal Palace fans
Les: An entertaining match but from a Palace view, it was two points dropped. Ref missed a blatant penalty call. Worrying injuries are of concern. Overall, Brentford had a fair proportion of the spoils and it could have gone either way.
Steve: Two halves of such contrasting football quality. From dominating in the first half, when Palace played some excellent football, to hanging on after re-taking the lead in the second. Wharton’s goal was very welcome after such a long barren period. Palace should have pushed for a third to put the game to bed. Somehow, it seemed inevitable Brentford would equalise. Hopefully Richards and Lacroix are not too badly injured. Just recently, the defence has been leaking far too many goals. We need them fit and on their very best form for the final.
Colin: We clearly had a good game but picked up too many injuries. Focus is on Leipzig.
Al: Another game where we dominate a half and waste chances and then defend too deep and invite the opposition to overwhelm us. Disappointing result, two points dropped. Wharton finally scores, which is as rare as hen’s teeth! Riad injury is disappointing. Glasner please rest the squad against Arsenal so they are fit for Leipzig.
