JPT Final Updates

Shall all of us poor buggers who can't be there have somewhere to talk about it then?

Not seen Schlupp or Reed before - looking forward to seeing what they're like.

Bees fans in good voice!

Yep. Ludicrous finish from a centre half...

we havent turned up as yet have we? p2p website is better than i thought it would be - at least we arent totally out of it - attacking our fans now so that should help

Disappointed with the Bees so far. Carlisle started with 3/4 corners, eventually scored through Murphy. Nice finish in all fairness.
For my money, there has been no real link between the Bees defence and the midfield. Every time the Bees clear, Carlisle pick up the ball. Carlisle bossing midfield.
Up front, there looked hope through Weston early on, and Schlupp showed pace, but to be honest they haven't seen much of the ball. Saunders has seemed like a possible show starter, with a couple of shots.
Overall, we haven't turned up yet. Outrun in midfield, and haven't got hold of the ball. I feel like I did when we lost to Crewe in the play off final a few years back. Brentford at Wembley innit? Hope Forster changes things half time, definitely needs to think about the centre of midfield and the defence's distribution.

Stuck in Ireland so couldn't make it. Watching it on telly. Agree that we haven't turned up. Commentator summed it up well: when carlisle attack they look like scoring, when we do, we don't look like scoring :(

Sadly second best to everything. Nicky has to deliver an inspiring team talk for us to turn this around.

anyone know why both teams have black armbands?

come on brentford!

We don't seem to have anyone in centre midfield.

Dave has been totally anonymous, and we haven't give Alexander or Schlupp a chance. Very poor so far.

Annoyed that Carlisle haven't got a booking yet though.

So dissapointing so far.

Don't think Weston's had a good game... Glad to see Grabban coming on.

Another anti-climax to put away with all the others.

Second yellow. He was just about to be substituted when he lunged and brought an opposing player down.

95 minutes and not a shot on target. Sums the day up. poor performance all round. :(

Dave was sold by Leon. Seen it all before,feel for you there but angry about team selection

5 times i have seen brentford in a cup finals / playoff final and i'm yet to see them play well. Why can't we ever perform in a final.The problem all season was scoring goals, and this has never been addressed. We were awful again today, no we were worse then that. Sums our season up I'm afraid.

Same old Brentford. Sadly. :(

The only player who impressed me at all was Saunders. Shame he can't hit the target, but at least he got some shots in.

I've seen us at Wembley over the years, starting with the Wigan defeat, and I don't think we've performed. Today, the first half was terrible, the second half was better but we didn't get a shot on target, or show creativity. For this season, it'd be fair to say, we haven't been creative in front of goal, haven't created chances, haven't had shots on target. We haven't scored too many goals.

Maybe, due to the lack of a strike rate, that defensively we've been very good. Why do I say that? Well, we 've had a good run in the league cup, beat premiership oppostion, got to the Jonhstone's Paint trophy final, currently stand 9th in the league and I'm banging on about our attacking play. Saunders and Weston have the ability, but supply to them has to be better, and the middle men choices have to be settled. It's true to say that the forward line up has changed a lot through injuries. Distribution has to be better from defence, IF we want to push on from a competitive league 1team to a winning league 1 team.

On the train home. Boooooooo.

That is all.
 

JPT Final Updates

The script was written in advance. Five finals and we haven't turned up to any of them. Seen it all so many times before the predictability kind of numbs the pain. Who really thought we would turn it round after going behind? Not many regulars I bet.

Carlisle broke their jinx today. But I would much rather we save our special moment for a Play Off final.
 

JPT Final Updates

Just standing in a packed tube train surrounded by people in red and white, wondering how many will be at the next home game...........
 

JPT Final Updates

I said that to my daughter as we walked up the steps of the tube station. Just 3 or 4 thousand of these glory hunters at each home game and we'd have the noise, atmosphere & income to improve this club.
 

JPT Final Updates

On tube home. What a load of pants. Why would any of the 'gloryhunters' turn up to a home match after that? We gave a terrible account of ourselves, and looked like losers from the off.
After sheffield on tuesday, where we showed we could play, this was the complete opposite. Hoofing, no link between defence and midfield, no hold up play, overhit crosses, no committing players fwd on attacks.
Waste of time today; can't even leave feeling like we had been outplayed. Rubbish.

Food for thought though.

If I had loadsa money and wanted to buy (invest in) Brentford and a new stadium, then I would be tempted after seeing 25,000 bees turn up to a big game.

Try and convince Andrew Mills.
He thinks we are a small club, not worthy of a decent stadium that holds 20K.
He didn't even think that our club shop should've opened yesterday.
The people that run BFC don't understand our potential, never have done.
We used to get gates of 30K plus but the people running BFC have stifled our club.
Not a clue IMO !
