Brentford played for 5 minutes and scored twice, says it all about our brittle defence. Not finishing teams off after going ahead is costing us badly. All I can say is thank god for injury time...at least we're going to the very end.

Roberts stood out, Raph was Raph, Ayling captained superbly I thought, standing up for his players, twice in the box with great headers and Paddy did what Paddy can do..

Welcome to this thread faaip!

If Bielsa doesn't feel Cresswell is good enough for that then he shouldn't be on the bench?

The club are always pushing the u23 team as this great success but the manager quite obviously doesn't rate them.

It's all very odd mixed messages.

Cresswell was excellent against West Ham and is a regular in the England U21's squad nowadays.
It was a strange substitution to say the least.

Suspected it would be something like this.

Whilst can understand the urge to respond it's not really acceptable for an executive of a multi million pound business to behave like that to one of the people who helps pay his wages.

Also snatching a point at the death is hardly proving whatever point Orta is trying to make.

He has had a lot of praise last few years VO, he needs to accept the justified criticism better imo.

Say all this on the assumption it was a football related argument along the lines of "your signings are crap" or "where is the cm" etc.

If it got more personal towards Orta then I take all this back.

I cannot condone the behavior of a Victor Orta which was akin to the performance art of Abbie Hoffman at the trial of the Chicago seven.

Hoffman wearing judges robes was a clear contempt of court, and Orta wearing that Paddington bear duffle coat was showing disdain for our British heritage and traditions.

Duffle coats are a well respected symbol of the Oxbridge elite and that a bespectled trumped up Spaniard should deign to wear such garment in public and shout profanities is a disgrace.

I will be writing to my MP to raise this question in parliment as to how a foreigner is allowed to wear a duffle coat in publc and bring such an icon of British sartorial elegance into disrepute.

According to Daily Record:

Furious Leeds United director of football Victor Orta made a beeline for the Brentford board after watching his side snatch a late equaliser.
