Mikkel Damsgaard

[Gee Bee]

Needs a run in the team now

That was said about YY 7 days ago?

 

[Freebee]

Well done MD ???

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Very good today.

 

[shaun]

I’m not a fan but delighted that he proved me wrong today. Keep showing me up Damsgaard.

 

[LostBee]

Class performance, the first of many

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

My MOTM today.

 

[jbee]

TF trusting him in midfield in a tough away game like this is a good sign. It has taken a while but maybe we are going to see the player we were expecting. If so it could save us a summer spend.

 

[Silly Hat]

He’s really improved, and rapidly, over the last couple of months. I’d start him against Sheffield tbh.

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Fantastic performance

 

[Boston Bee]

Some of his passing was next level. This is the guy we thought we were signing alll those months ago.

 

[cm_851]

Really good from the off today. Proves he is good enough for this league, it remains to be seen if he can find the consistency but if he plays like that week in week out he’ll be nailed on to start every game.

 

[GP200]

…………..super player…………..

 

[HerefordB]

Maybe his best performance in red and white?

 

[Guildford_Bee]

Really good performance, well done Mikkel. Closed down players, got some good tackles in and made some great passes too. Hope he starts against Sheff U.

We were in blue lol

 

[Wooburn Bee]

Really good performance, well done Mikkel. Closed down players, got some good tackles in and made some great passes too. Hope he starts against Sheff U.

And his free kick if the defender hadn’t managed to (just) get top of his head to it was at worst going to trouble the keeper

 

[maddogging]

Very good today, well done MD

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Hes a good player and IMO should be getting more starts.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

I’m still hoping he comes good but beginning to think it won’t happen, today he pressed well, shielded the ball without being easily brushed off, twisted and turned with going forward always on his mind. Was allowed a free kick that was on target but deflected over ?this is the start of something.

He needs that game time. I wonder if hes still struggling with his injury issues?

Hes a skilful player who can look after the ball in tight areas.

I think he’s had game time but not taken it in the past, it’s been hard to give him mins or so it seems from TF’s teams and substitutions, like I say, hopefully today means something.

 

[jlove]

What I liked was that he doesn’t seem to give up. He’ll press, the player side-steps him, then he’s back in that player's face, wins the ball, then loses the ball, then wins it back again and passes… to a Brentford player! OK, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but it seemed like he did that more than once.

He and Reguilón were the driving force of the period we scored the three goals and Villa’s defence was at sixes-and-sevens.

 

[maddogging]

Has to play next week with Toney, Mbeumo and Wissa to aim for from the start

Excellent today

 

[Paul_T]

Played very well today

 

[beeeehive]

He reminds me of Jensen early on when everyone was unsure, you can see on the ball he has that ability to drop a shoulder and move away from players. Hopefully after yesterday he starts to believe it more, showed real quality at times under pressure. Final ball just needs improving sometimes, even his assist was a fluffed shot!

Put him in a settled first team and he will be fine, can do a job.

 

[TorbayBee]

Confidence is the key. Perhaps singing his name will have an impact as it did with Flekken. Let’s not wait for the player to inspire us, let’s inspire him.

 

[Indian Bee]

Was very good on the back of the 20 minutes or so he had against Brighton. Encouraging signs.

 

[Neal]

Covers loads of ground, presses high, can pick a pass better than any of the other midfielders. Getting stick from the people who used to moan about Jensen

Came here just to restate my post #2,391, before it gets drowned out by the sound of everyone changing their tune ?

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

Best game by a mile ? if it’s a choice between him and TFF it’s Billy Casper all the way ?? hopefully will keep it going next Saturday ??

Keep the faith Voice, it’s all bubbling along nicely for Damsgaard and Schade to have their annual mugging off of the river rats.

That’s made me chuckle ????

Think that's a bit of a jump - clearly this Villa game was his best in a bees shirt. We actually saw his passing range for once. Let's not race ahead though. Bottom of the league Saturday, let's see him again.

Yup. I was rightly critical of him for his performances for us so far, but integrity dictates that you have to praise the man when he plays to his potential. Well done, MD.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

first assist?

 

[North London Bee]

first assist?

Second - West Ham

 

[CambridgeBee]

We were in blue lol

Plus he's done pretty well in the Danish shirt a few times in the past

 

[jbee]

The question now is whether TF plays him in midfield alongside Jensen in a 4-3-3. It is one thing to do it when you have five defenders behind you but will he trust him if we switch formations to get Wissa, Mbeumo, and Toney on the pitch at the same time?

If so, then it could be a step towards him becoming a regular. But, if not then he is still a player that TF wants to use strategically just in certain games, which is fine but maybe not what we hoped when we signed him.

He seemed pretty aggressive closing down on Saturday and he got back plenty of times. The developing partnership with Reguilón will also help both in attack and defence. Against a team like SHU, Damsgaard’s speed of thought and passing accuracy can make a big difference, especially if we’ve got quick players in front of him.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Congratulations on scoring your first goal today Mikkel.

 

[Lozza]

There is something about MD that I really like. The purposeful look up, the constant desire to play forward, the chasing and harrying. He's going to be a star.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Excellent performance ?

 

[GP200]

…………..excellent second goal and technique………….

 

[beeeehive]

When a player starts to believe in themselves again.

 

[londondude]

Surprise surprise a player gets a run in the team and starts looking good. Well done Mikkel

 

[CRitch87]

Today he arrived, well done

 

[Zeeco]

A better performance, let's hope he continues this trajectory.

 

[davebee]

When a player starts to believe in themselves again.

Looking stronger and fitter, and like you said is starting to believe in himself. I think the season is ending a few weeks early for him. Hope he has a good Euros and then spends the rest of the summer in the gym. Could be a real force next season.

 

[DanishPlastic]

I'm just so bloody happy for him. Its not like a lot of the criticism of him in the past wasnt warranted. He just was quite frustrating to watch during large parts of the time here but he just seems like such a nice lad and he has a rare skillset and potential that I as a football fan always loved. That kind of football intelligence where the small weighted passes in unexpected areas that is just a pleasure to watch.

He is still getting up to speed but today's game must to wonders for his confidence. And I think Mikkel is very much a confidence player.

This is great for Brentford. And loved to see the lads so happy for him. Watching his excitement towards the crowd after his later disallowed goal almost brought a tear to my eyes.

 

[badgerbee]

Excellent performance.
Again.
Just a shame he was robbed of both an assist and a goal......
