Is that a direct quote from Ruud from today's press conference?

Yeah just been on, yes more singles than usual but not great empty areas.

What will be more telling isn't the seats available now, but the number of season ticket holders who just don't bother turning up on the day (and haven't listed their ticket on the resale platform).

 

I imagine given our current trajectory and a Friday night kickoff, a lot of fans won't bother. Particularly those travelling from further afield.

Narrow 433 for me                     
 

                       Mads

woyo.     Okoli.      Faes.      VK

(Have to go with our quickest for brentford)

 

                Wilf.             Winks
                      Soumare

             Facundu.       Bilal

                             Daka 

 

It’s hard to pick something based on what we’ve got right now but my thinking is that brentford are very strong on the counter. so to balance us against that, when we have the ball I’d push woyo and vk forwards for the width but have wilf and winks drop back to keep enough coverage. 
 

I think you’d be naive to not leave 4 back against them when you’re as bad as us and the away game showed how lethal they are, when you give the ball away. 
 

The dms essentially get the ball to soumare  who transitions it to the front 3 who we just let do their thing.  This would be my approach even if it’s a little boring.  But brentford want you to be overly adventurous

It wasn't easy, but, as you see, we did it! Let it be a lesson for all.

I believe you've just come up with the new motto for our club. I just classed it up for you -  Eadem histriones, eadem ratio, eadem menda.

[Nolucklcfc]

Ruud calling the protest a great thing in the press conference 🤣 I bet inside he’s so pissed off at this board.

I think it’s on his family crest.

What is Soumare if he's not a box to box player?

That's just a long form way of saying Semper Eadem.

Yes. That occurred to me. I'd struggled in the past to define what sort of midfielder Soumare was (apart from a not very good one), but "box to box" seems like the closest description and that's what he should be aiming for as his USP

He's roughly a centre circle player.

Where have you seen the quotes from the press conference? I can only find injury updates...

I watched it tbf, he was asked about the protests at the end of the video the club put out

Ah. Was he asked whether he's likely to change things up in attack on Friday?

i had a look back at all the results that season. apart from that 8 game winning run we were pretty terrible. take a look at the awful sides we played in that 8 game winning run too, only arsenal and brighton being fairly decent at the time.

lucky to even get fifth looking at the table back then with wolves just being 3 points behind in 7th.

Not really, just said that we’ve looked more solid in the last few games (Everton aside) and that’s partly why we aren’t creating as many chances.

How I would love to see a goal. The sweet sound of the drum kicking in to remind us we need to celebrate.

 

I genuinely think i wont know what to do.

The long a run goes whether it's winning or losing the more likely it is to end.
