The leitmotif of Brentford’s away defending – ‘getting done by balls over the top’ - returned.

Bees let the lead slip.

Macdonald; taking the pace from Phillips’ cross with his chest, turned and thrashed it home. Alas, undone near half time; a long ball held up by Byfield who set up Nicholls.

Lead reversal on 79’; a classic counter attack, Nicholls’ first time cross chipped over Legge’s head.

Andy Scott told me he felt the chaps were “naive” by giving away possession.

I advise Chris Hutchings to use volumising mousse, not hair-gel.
