BFC 1-1 Brentford, Monday 17th April 2017

‘For a virgin, it’s a big ‘un’

Welcome to ....

This’ll be brief, cos I haven’t time to write much.  Another week, another failure to win a home game, another lead chucked away.  We can’t even beat (other) midtable mediocrity these days.  Marley put us ahead and I was lucky to see it – having nearly fallen asleep I went to the loo and came back in time to see him bury a close range effort.  No idea how it was set up.  Brentford equalise before the break.  If I could remember it, I’d tell you how.

The road to nowhere.

2nd half, they coulda scored 3 in the first 5 mins….including a missed pen (Davies saving).  Did I read we’d given away more pens than anyone else in this division?  Very probably.  Looked a pen to me, as MacDonald mistimed a tackle.  Later, we had the chances to score 3 (Moncur having one saved and hitting the bar with another).  Marley and Bradshaw also missed one-on-ones.  A draw was problies fair, tho’ disappointing, considering a decent turnout, with match tickets a tenner.

*** Kent.  I know.  I can’t believe it either.  Looked lively, without scoring or setting up any goals. 
** Davies..  Quality finish totally out of keeping with this match.
* Moncur.  An improved performance. Perhaps there’s hope yet.  Twitter MOTM.  

Londontykes’ MOTM:  1. Moncur  2. Kent  3. Davies

Onwards and upwards! 

Drink du jour: PA (as opposed to ‘IPA’) and port on the journey back (needed to stay vaguely sober – work next day)  

Away: 664

The Damage:
30 train

The Tunes:
Black Holes and Revelations (Muse)
Protection (Massive Attack)
Aman Iman (Tinariwen)
