I'll back young Alex Mowatt anyday over Billy two goals
Your boss got it wrong young Alex, we missed you yesterday. Should have brought you on at half-time, unfortunately you never had the opportunity to take your joggie bottoms off.
Infact how long did it take to make any substitution as we were totally overrun in the 2nd half....28 minutes

Well done Redfern do your job man !
You can't argue though that the point made in the article is just what many of us have been saying lately - for whatever reason, Alex has been in "lack lustre" form in the last few games. He's looked sluggish (and we know he's not quick at the best of times) and well below what we saw a couple of months ago. The break will hopefully do him good. I'd have left him out yesterday regardless of the formation.

Indeed Costy Two clear opportunities yesterday & he fluffed them both. Yes his goal was a brave header at Huddersfield but that shouldn't make him an automatic starter because of one moment he got right in a blue moon

He could still have played someone like Sloth in midfield if he felt Mowatt wasn't upto the task. No he got it in his head he was starting Sharp playing two upfront, whether his decision was influenced by the media/fans or pressure from Sharp himself. The fact is Redfern called it wrong as we rarely looked like scoring & we certainly wasn't a tight unit as we've shown in previous games. I sincerely hope he has learned from his error !

I like Mowatt and he's the most creative midfielder we have, unfortunately he doesn't work on the wing, as he doesn't have the pace and cuts inside too much. Unless we dropped one of Murphy, Austin or Cook, I don't see him getting back in.

We revert back to Byram Cook, Murphy & Mowatt with Austin pressing the opposition back four with him dropping back into midfield when required as he did v Bournemouth & Huddersfield That's what Rudi does best...RUNS !

Against them it was. But I think Redders saw something that made him think Brentford would be more vulnerable to two strikers. He's proven that he will adapt the formation to suit the opponent. In this case it was obviously not the right decision, but I think I understand the thought process.
do your job man !
