Beveree Chat

Decent display against an obviously full time and very skilful Brentford side. We went close a few times but lacked real cutting edge. Churlish to complain though. Roberts was particularly impressive for us I thought.

Goal looked a miss hit cross to me.

Yeah definitely had something of that about it although admittedly we were up the other end.
Bit of an odd game by the way...definitely had the air of a pre-season friendly at times.

Hampton worked incredible hard against a very good team. That said Brentford created next to nothing and our two centre backs looked dominant. Shame to lose to a bit of a fluke. The new striker looks like he might be a handful. Wonder if the manager can accommodate Robinson playing off him.

Report from Brentford.

Hampton didn't make any subs according to this?

How come Brentford were in their away kit when they were the home side? Bit weird.

Our subs. Oladipo for Robinson, 72min; Barzey for Dronfield, 82; Allen for Deadfield, 89.

Weird? The whole thing was weird, thanks to Brentford B not having a home venue.
Dick Parsons sorted out Bedfont Sports as a ground (having already sorted out Hanworth Villa on a previous date, but Brentford B had a 'friendly'!). They paid for the hire of the ground, the floodlights and a pair of Paramedics with Ambulance. We took the gate and paid the officials. Bedfont got the bar and food takings. Oh, and the Brentford 'Chef' arranged hot food for the players. Our players got the use of the home dressing room (thanks Bedfont!), much better than the away. The attendance was 277.
The Middx Cup Final will now be Barnet versus Brentford B and will no longer be at Beveree, but instead at Barnet!

Reading on the Brentford forum, the one player they picked out for mention was Destiny Oladipo. What did we think?

Thought Gary set up the team really well, knew Brentford would have a lot of the ball so played a patient game.2 centre half's had great games, Shane Dunne good 1st half ,Sam and Jamie Roberts both really good.Robinson a lot of running but Destiny caused them a lot more problems. I hope Imran learnt a lot from Brentford, needs to be a bit more professional, calmer ,sneaky and put smile on his face.

Certainly made an impression when he came on. Suddenly we looked a bit more threatening and unpredictable. I'd like to see him given a start.
