Brilliant! Fantastic! Absolute top class performance in every respect, and from every player, and from TF and all the backroom team.
90 minutes of the Bees, apart from 7 minutes, at our complete best.
That second half!!! We would have torn apart any other Championship team, and probably quite a few in the Premier as well.
Romaine is so under-rated in value and skill. He was everywhere, including at one point in the second half when Blackburn broke, and he chased back behind Reed, overtook him, tackled and won the ball. Such commitment and energy.
Mind you, I think Reed was somewhat impeded, as he was still wearing a lighted advertising hoarding around his neck!
Everyone deserved credit and top marks, and it was great to see Ollie, back with more enthusiasm than recently, Neil doing his thing of harassing and nipping in to score a class goal, Sergi back to what he does best of running at defences and crashing in a great team goal started by him, plus what superlatives can you say about Said. He’s Premier league bound. What skill, what mesmerising dribbling throwing defenders into total confusion. At one point he beat 3 of them!
I love GP on days like this. One of the top matches of recent years!
Play-offs are still in reach. We clawed back another 2 points yesterday on the gap. Who knows - anything can happen in the Championship.
That second half we were untouchable, Brilliant and sublime football, that I never really thought I’d see in Brentford shirts, going back to only a few years ago.
It was really cold, but oh how that performance warmed you up!
