Another game without a goal and I can’t believe the change that we’ve seen among the players.
We’ve gone from scoring plenty and defending terribly to now defending a bit better and not being able to get a goal for love nor money.
I’m not really sure what I prefer, too, but I’d like to think once we sort the attacking out again we’ll have a nicely balanced side.
We could have beaten Brentford anyway, to be honest, with a number of big chances that would go in on another day so let’s take a look at the reaction to the result and Karanka’s words:
💬 @Karanka: "We will win games doing that and I can't say anything bad today as the players gave everything."
The #NFFC manager gives his verdict on tonight's defeat against @BrentfordFC.

Not sure what game everyone else was watching tonight but we were very unlucky not to win tonight. Hit the woodwork three times, looked a stone wall penalty but one lapse in defence and we lose. As a whole, the run is not good, but tonight, in isolation, we were hard done by.

Our last 3 home games are all winnable, and if we continue to create the chances we did last night we should surely take the points in at least 2 of them. It may not be too pretty, but we can get the job done. #nffc

"Players gave everything" – may be a coded message that the some of the players are clearly not going to good enough to be part of his plans.

The Verdict
Certainly, it’s a good thing we’re not lower down in the league than we are because with this form we’d be struggling to stay up.
I think it’ll click soon enough, though, and then we should finally have more balance to our play.
The sooner the better!
