Rival Watch

[From Despair To Where?]

Watford have had 2 or 3 runs of 3 games without a win but no, they've not had 2 league defeats in a row yet.

Swansea have had 1 run of 3 games without a win but 2 of them were draws.

No team in the history of the second tier of English football dating back to 1891 has conceded fewer goals than Swansea after the first 28 games.

By 1 goal better than Reading in 2005/6. Unfortunately it was after then that Reading’s defence fell apart and conceded 16 in the last 18 games eg. 3 at Luton and another 3 at Crewe.

Very impressive record and if they keep this up then they will get promoted through a series of 0-0s and 1-0 wins. On current path they will only concede 25 this season.

Just watched highlights of their game v Forest. It was all Forest. So unlucky not to be 2 or 3 up. Either Forest are on the up and up or Swansea are not as good as we think they are.

I dont think they are particularly good fwiw

This is not the quality, passing Swansea side of previous seasons. They are very well organised but defensive. Very ordinary but they keep getting results.

Think reality is somewhere in between. Forest are improving but Swansea aren't great but are incredibly well organised, making them very tough to beat. Interestingly* Huddersfield, who they play tomorrow, are one team to beat them.

That Crewe game was utterly mental. Conversely, the home game against Crewe was arguably the worst performance and game of the season.

Watford 2-0 up already...Derby are awful

[Hound]

2-1 in the end. Derby very unimpressive on the bits I saw but nearly equalised through a couple of corners near the end

[royalp-we]

Watford, Swansea, Norwich all picking up form and pressing on. It will be interesting to see how Brentford react after 2 defeats in the lunchtime ko.

Starting today we absolutely need to start putting our own run of form together. We have an excellent opportunity to do just that with the fixtures against lots of teams at the bottom coming up. 3pts for the ding today please.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Toney out for Brentford in the early game V Coventry, will be interesting to see how they do on the back of 2 defeats

Any idea what the injury is?

[Hound]

And 1-0 down....interesting

Brentford, Brentford are falling apart again.

Brentford defence looks so vulnerable. Shame we didn't have that extra bit of quality in Meite and Swift that night. 3 points would have been on the card.
Loving Callum O Hare, looks a hell of a player.
Should be 2 down now.

On the card? Had we had swift alone I’m certain we would have won that game.

Could easily have not lost, maybe even won, with exactly the same team IMO.

Exactly. Had Joao not missed that guilt edged chance! Ah well ifs and maybes

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Brentford have got round the back a few times and put some dangerous balls into the box; with Toney around I don't think they'd be behind.
