These throws most of the time are just launched in and hope for the best. I'm not a fan even though they are impressive in their distance

It’s definitely not hope for the best. Just because they don’t all result in goals doesn’t mean it wasn’t meticulously trained.

It’s not pretty, but our entire club philosophy in our meteoric rise is on marginal gains that allow us to punch above our weight. In transfers, in club/management structure, in personnel, in training, and on the pitch a huge one we’ve outlined is set pieces.

And it’s working. In the PL last season 20 goals were scored from throw ins. We make up 6 of those, so it’s a huge advantage. (Interestingly I saw Wissa scored 4 of those…)

As I say, not pretty but if a flick on and a jabbed foot results in a Brentford goal I couldn’t give a monkeys. Particularly given our standard throw ins usually give the ball straight back to the opposition (incidentally a big big bear of mine - why are we so bad at normal throws!!!!)

Don't let the detractors tell you otherwise, he had a good game tonight. Lots of clever passing in the second half.

Yep, and a good shift with decent defensive work. Also pleasing that he got through 90 minutes.

What is really disappointing - I think you allude to this - is “supporters” who feel it necessary to use the match day thread to have sly digs at one of our players. Christ, we battled really well and won 2-0. Talk about positivity! ?

That last paragraph??….you just can’t help yourself can you ?
Why does it concern you sooooo much what anyone else’s opinions are ? It’s a football forum…I reckon you might be too highly strung for it imho…find one where everyone agrees with you and I’m sure you’ll be ok ??

Don’t worry… It doesn’t?

 

[brentford born & bred]

KA clearly sees Jensen as a starter. I imagine his role at set pieces is a part of that.

Or the odd nutmeg in front of us tonight ?

 

[Bill Benn]

Got better after a piss poor first half hour which was full of bad passing and a couple of dreadful free kicks and corners.Some very clever passes after that and looked our best midfielder with FTT a close second.

Why does Jensen have a cult following.

...voice is the leader...ask him??

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Senior midfielder didn't get off the bench. Similar player linked. Just joining the dots here.

 

[mundee4england]

Whilst there were great performances all over the pitch tonight, given some of the stick Matty gets and the fact he was coming in to fill a big Damsgaard shaped hole, I thought Matty was really good tonight. Worked really hard to press effectively, played a key part in the goal and was dangerous on a few other occasions.

Yeah thought he did well

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Integral part of a very industrious midfield today. Always puts in a big shift.

 

[To Bee Someone]

One of the better Matti performances. But that was because Henderson and YY played so well behind him. If he has that, he can be great

 

[RoyBee]

Very good, especially 2nd half where he played higher up.

 

[brentford born & bred]

Everyone raving about Hendo's pass, Kevin's run and finish which were all superb, however it was a perfect pass from Mattie to Hendo. Hendo even commented he was unsure if Mattie had even seen him. A simple pass, only seen out of the corner of his eye, perfectly executed.

 

[CTBee]

He did a superb through ball for Thiago on the half volley in the second half. If Thiago had anticipated it a fraction of a second earlier he would have been clean through.

 

[cheshirebee]

Worked his nuts off.
Energetic pressing off the ball and no little skill on it.
His assist to the assist for the first goal was class.
He deserved a better ovation when he went off.

Subs were a bit muddled I thought - maybe just me - but I wasnt quite up on what was going on

The one sub that didn't make sense was bringing on Rico for Jensen, then moving KLP into central midfield. Would have made more sense to bring on Janelt or Onyeka and leave KLP where he was.

Agree. It unsettled us.

A good performance from MJ.

That game was crying out for Frank the Tank in that second half.

That's interesting because at no time was I thinking that

 

[ABEEE]

Neither, Hendo was able to last the whole game. Having two holding midfielders would leave us defensive

 

[alexinho]

That's interesting because at no time was I thinking that

Ha ha fair. I just thought that his energy and destructive power might have been useful... we definitely started to lose the midfield in that second half. Maybe Frank could have helped - or maybe not!!

Each to their own

 

[guilly]

He had a good shift, in a setup that best fits his style - never been a fan of his style, but even with the mistakes, it was the right pick yesterday.
I guess his chances will depend on the tactical setup, but with Damagaard and Janet fully fit, I don't see him getting a lot of minutes, or offering a variant to earn some

 

[roadealing]

Time and time again our own fans doubt Matty and I don’t know why.

Cream of the f***ing crop.

 

[JosephBFC]

Class act, always has been. What a top pro

 

[aawharris]

That will buy him another couple of games before people say he has never been good enough again.

 

[wibs]

Anyone think his non celebration was due to the fact he looked at KA as if to say how dare you not play me?!

Clearly not happy he isn't getting many minutes

And I like the fact he isn't happy, shows ambition

MJ is a top, top pro. He'll absolutely be using the lack of minutes to push himself to 110% in training and has clearly forced KA to take note.

I hope we see so much more of him this season and he gets back to his 22/23 form where he was dictating games for fun.

 

[Sutton Bee]

He knew he should have done that about a minute or so earlier when he passed and the attack faded out, was his “fine I’ll do it myself” moment. Beautifully struck, keeper is still diving to get out of the way, moved so much you’d have sworn it took a deflection. Well done Mathias lovely work.

 

[CTBee]

What a clean strike, the sound when his foot connected with the ball was

 

[Deanos196]

First he should of shot he passed
Then should of passed he shot
3 rd Time right decision scores a rocket

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

What a goal.

He's a player!!!!

 

[jlove]

If there was a player in the squad that you’d want to take that shot it’s Mattie Jensen; it seemed time stood still and he hit it so hard, with swerve, a great goal. Then just cool as he turned away.

...I think I even saw vftb stand up and applaud his goal...times they are a changin'.

 

[Cham]

Goal of the season .. build up was world class

 

[GlasgowBee]

Corker of a goal, lovely to watch again and again and again

 

[andyrew]

If his omission makes him more selfish and aggressive then fantastic. Stick it to them Matty. I suspect it's just the reaction that Keith desires. Well done!

 

[BeeInSW19]

I love his goal today! What a screamer what a hit!

 

[wanderer paul]

An excellent strike.

 

[james121bees]

Luverley goal

 

[BURFORD BEE]

Watching it again on MOTD the whole move and then the strike was a thing of beauty.

 

[Wooburn Bee]

Jensen, FTT and Vitaly putting in a strong claim for a starting berth. That’s without us having seen what Milambo can contribute when fully acclimatize . Not a bad problem for Keith to have.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Just Jensen being Jensen. Cool, understated, modest. Nothing to see.

 

[Bridge Bee]

Great strike. He’s always had a good strike to be fair but management over the last 6yrs have said no shooting from distance.

Doesn’t get in our strongest midfield if everyone fit but he’ll get 90mins at Grimsby for sure.
