How did we win that game of football?

Quite incredible we won that game . We were one nil up when a Brentford player went through to an open goal after a defensive mix up , he teed it up teed it up again as players tried to get back to block him then blasted it wide with practically the whole goal to aim for . We scored the second not long later , but Brentford could still have scored 6 today , our defence was incredible at times clearing balls off the line time and time again .
Mark of a very good side to win when not st their best .

Brentford finishing was beyond dire.

Almost as bad as the Lino on the Ninian side

I can’t do links on my phone but the miss is on you tube . It’s worse than I remember... it is worth a copy and paste.

We won it because we took our chances and they were absolutely hopeless for theirs.

Strange game, but City might easily have had another two with Bamba's shot off the line in the first half and Hoilett's miss from Ward's backheel.

City are a team who ride their luck defensively, but are pretty effective on the break, even without Mendez-Laing and Zohore.

Wow, that’s special

Why does he take an extra touch and an extra step? The ball was right on front of him!

We won that game of football due to us scoring 2 goals and the opposition scoring 0.

Hope this helps.

Fair play to Brentford they came to have a go and are a decent side, lady luck was on our side this time.

yeah I think "SPECIAL" is the correct term :hehe:

We were with some Brentford fans in canton and they said they will try to play football from the goal keeper on the floor,they were right.
Good team great win by us but ugly.

3 points is 3 points and over a season things even out.

Cliche time !

We won because we had the desire to do so ,typical Warnock side , after a loss ,we will be in the mix at the season end ,will Btrentford ?

Our reward after the Bristol result.

Brentford are clearly a good team, one of the best passing teams seen at CCS this season as also indicated by the “possession” stats of 70.2%. But ultimately we did a job on them, worked hard, took our chances and got the three points and did it with a couple of big players missing.

They must be sick as a parrot

They passed through us very well. Id be disappointed travelling home if I was them. They came to a promotion challenging team with an excellent home record and passed us to death, created chances and went home with nothing - its all ifs and buts but that miss was incredible and things might have been different if he had scored. Saying that we could have had a couple more ourselves. Weird game.

according to the stats, they had 70% possession, 25 shots to our 13, 10 corners to our 3 and outpassed us by some distance.

BBC London are being very complementary about us in their summary.

They are calling the place 'fortress Cardiff'.

Even with the stats they are saying that they only ever looked like one winner and how comfortable and organised we looked.

Indeed it was a strange game , Brentford are a very very good passing side and all their players look comfortable on the ball

But the score was two nil and we got the three points

Their number 19 the rasta looking guy was a bit of a player as well.
The blonde guy took the game by the scruff of the neck though.

Interestingly (if I remember correctly) they dont have a youth set up, they spend all the money scouring the lower leagues for their new players.

Canos, apparently was at Liverpool ! I am just glad he didn't start! I was impressed by Brentford other than that incredible miss!

The number 19 was Sawyers. Him and the ginger Woods midfielder were both good footballers.

Good side but I don't feel that lucky to have won. We won ugly, but we're missing our best players. Great to see us grind out a result.

Don't know why Feeney gets the nod.
