People just notice his bad balls in because he plays them with pace itching to be scored from. So are more noticeable when they occasionally go wrong.
Our biggest issue is generally not having people on the end of them rather than his delivery which is generally very good.

Good point, if my memory serves me right he swung in countless crosses that Eriksen scored from during Denmark's qualification matches for World Cup '18

I'd estimate that he puts in more crosses per game than any other player, he's not Beckham, though. He has some spectacular failures which certainly reinforce confirmation bias. Someone who sits close to me at GP keeps completely silent about him until one of those, when he then shouts towards the bench to take him off as he's useless.

Surely as a professional footballer, he should be looking up to see if there’s somebody there rather than aimlessly punting it across?

Every decent player puts the ball into the danger area , if you take too long the defence will clear it or play you offside

Most crosses aren't a pin-point pass to a certain player, because by the time it gets there everyone will have moved around, and those who were free are probably now covered, and those that were covered may now have moved into space.
Of course people will try to take account if whether they've got players in the box, and sometimes pick out a specific man (usually if in acres of space) but generally it's more about whipping it into a dangerous area and up to the attackers to be attacking those spaces.
You watch any of the very best crossers in history and you'll see plenty of balls that fly across the box because they're pinging it into the best places to score from and it's up to the attackers to get on the end of them (and/or get away from their man).

Could well be the case. It's gonna be a big ask for the DOF's to find a replacement as good let alone someone better than Henrik ?.

Didn't he replace a pretty decent French man at RB?

He does look up, but there's usually only Maupay in there surrounded by a load of defenders. He also varies his crossing a lot, on Sat he was trying to curl the ball in low at pace behind the CBs into the 6 yard box for Maupay, very nearly got there a couple of times but it's so hard to pick out one player. He also pulls it back to the edge of the box when he can and nearly set up Benhrama at the end with one of those, Said's shot deflecting off a defender and out. He set up a goal away from home like this recently, can't remember where....

Just being rested tonight was he?

..............first or second sending off this season???????................
 

Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

He's a good enough player, but he won't be one that we'd miss after he's gone... Perfectly functional though he wouldn't weaken us generally when he plays (which he isn't doing right now).

Really don’t understand posts like this, he has done well for us, has some MoM postings and generally tries hard for the team. He may not be the greatest player in the world but he is certainly not our weakest defender.

Always believed thst any player that pulled on a Bees jersey got 100% support. May be the bottle of champagne I have drunk but find posts such as this somewhat disappointing

I certainly won't lose any sleep about you being disappointed but anyone who was there, answer me this. How many stupid and unnecessary free-kicks did we give away around the penalty box after he'd gone off?

Whatever some may say, that's a big reason he's a defensive liability for me

As I was not there will have to accept your description however over the season as a whole would suggest that he has not been our biggest problem!!

Our defenders overall have had major cock ups as a default position!! Whilst Henrik may not be ideal for a promotion chasing team I would suggest, based on the games I have witnessed that he is not a major problem just just part of the overall malaise

Even under St Mark of Warburton our defence was, being polite porous. I recall discussions as to why with Weir as a coach we were so bad. Since then, by and large, we have not improved but castigating just one of a defence that has as much backbone as the Italian army does not contribute a great deal

There is no doubt that with a better defence overall our league position would be better however the problem is endemic and starts with the keeper and ends with the forwards. We play a fantastic style of attacking football that often forgets how important defending is.
 

Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

Our chances of finding a better right back to fit out budget? Slim.
Didn't look a red card to me, clever or snidey play by the attacker depending on whether you're Brentford or Millwall.
 

Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

He did what he had to do to stop a real goalscoring opportunity. IMHO, it should have been a yellow as I thought Konsa would have covered.

He's clearly high on some people's 'Josh Mac scale' but I really don't understand why.

Me too. 6 & half a dozen, I thought. Henrik’s experience meant it was just outside the area, & the lad did his hamstring in the resultant triple salko.

I thought the Millwall forward played for it and the ref bought it and that Henrik was a bit naive.
Those slating him seem to have an agenda, I thought he started this season poorly but since Christmas has been very effective in an understated way.

From my seat where they were heading directly towards me – and I guess many others – yes, Ben Thompson was ahead of him but Henrik knew what he was doing. He was not going to get ahead of him by the time he got into the area and he brought him down outside.

He's statistically our best defender, with the highest average number of tackles per game this season; I'm not sure what people want from him. He's also 7th, the highest defender, in the attacking rankings!

He had a bit of a ropey start this season but has been excellent recently. He adds a lot to our attacking play and is decent defensively. Gets caught out from time to time with players getting in behind but that’s a direct result of the way we play with the wing backs/full backs high up the pitch and both Moses and Henry have been caught out like that too.. as you say, not sure what more he can do? Has a couple of goals and a couple of assists to boot... I think that’s a tick. Colin was a more accomplished player but I think Dalsgaard adds more offensively..
 

Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

This season he has been the most consistent and reliable defender. He won't get 10 out of 10 but regular 7/8. He did the right thing and was worth a yellow bit it was the last player who also made the most of it and injured himself karma.
He can be out of position but that's because he has to push up and does not always have the support. I for one would give him another year contract but hope we have better for the starting 11.
 

Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

I've seen David Luiz do that exact challenge a million times.
He rarely even gets booked for it.
It's just a yellow if he gets penalised at all.
Don't think I've ever seen him get red for it.
HD is very unlucky.

Hard call between him and Moses for Saturday I would have thought. Moses has been in very good form especially when at right wing back.

Possibly both and give Rico a rest, rotate back for the following Sunday.
 

Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

I think with Moses flexibility of playing both left and right, it'd be great if we could keep all 3 next year and keep the squad rotation going as personally I don't think it weakens us too much and gives all three a chance to recuperate in what is quite a demanding position the way we want to play

Yep good point. If we keep the same system wing backs have to cover an awful lot of ground at pace each game. Rotating 2 from 3 should help keep them fresh. This season injuries have prevented this.
 

Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

Thought he did well today, lots of organising and communication with Konsa and Racic. Wouldn't be unhappy with him as one of the three next season leaving the RWB space available for Moses and Sergi when/if Moses needed a rest.

Awarded his 17th (?) Cap for Denmark last night, while a Bee.... just 3 behind Buttigieg for Malta.(20).

Then there’s this.....:)

Henrik Dalsgaard will soon be in thinking box.
The Danish national teamback has a year back of his contract with Brentford FC, and he has previously suggested that he could well be open to a new challenge this summer after two years in the second best English row.
The considerations still remain here with a year back of the contract in London, but Dalsgaard is not willing to gamble with the future.
- I would like to try something else if the right one appears. It's something you hear all football players say, but that's right - I don't have to go away at all costs, for that reason I just got too good at Brentford. I also have a big role in the club, and that means a lot, if we were to qualify for the European Championship - then play time is very, very important, says Henrik Dalsgaard to tipsbladet.dk and adds:
- I also have a family that I have to take into account, so we probably should not go to China if that opportunity should arise. I take it very quietly and I look at it if something pops up.
- I have not heard of interested clubs, and I think many people are quite calm until we get a little further in the window.
In Brentford by Henrik Dalsgaard, he has a prospect of an important role under Thomas Frank, and the former AaB player has gradually developed into an important man on and off the track in London.

It also weighs on the scale.
- I've had the captain a couple of times during the season when our normal captain hasn't played, and of course it has been a great privilege for me, and that's not something I've tried before. It is more and more natural to me, and we have many young boys, so maybe there were not so many others it could go to.
- I try to go to the front of the training track and try to keep some of those who are young, the young boys can get sometime in between, says Dalsgaard.
Henrik Dalsgaard played 40 of 46 league matches for Brentford in the past season, and it is tough diet when, as a back, they have the prospect of running many meters in each match.
- It started well for me, but I also felt that I got a little downturn around December. I don't know if it was physical or mental fatigue, or a combination, but I was a little down and maybe there was a World Cup that was starting to play. I have also played many games, and I could feel that in December, says Dalsgaard, who is ready for the coming international matches against Ireland and Georgia.
29-year-old Henrik Dalsgaard scored his first international goal in recent showdown against Switzerland, when in the final minutes he completed a crazy comeback with the goal of 3-3.
