A few of us nipped over to Telford today for the game, here are my thoughts:
1) Well done to Telford for a brilliant result, they simply outclassed them, Brentford showed nothing
2) The NBH needs the extra side doing properly, but the hotel looks great. I can't help but feel it has been built in the wrong place, should have been built in the town centre
3) Lee Mills looked excellent today, really did hold the ball up well. Christian Moore is a little terrier, angry opposition fans will call him a thug like they do Lukey, he caused them a lot of problems today by getting stuck in. Goal celerbation was downright inciteful though. I thought Blackwood played well, they have a lot fo pace in the team and their breaks from defence were very quick. Ricketts makes some good runs.
4) Highlights on TV will be interesting, after about 5 minutes Telford had a stonewall penalty waved away, but at 1-0 Brentford had a man through who was obviously brought down but no free kick and no red card. Within a minute ball is up the other end, players tangle, Penalty to Telford and second yellow for Brentford player, the games changed in that minute, 2-0 and 10 men, instead of 1-0 and Telford with 10 men
5) Really very disappointed with the atmosphere. Telford fans only really sung properly after it went to 3-0 It was a small crowd, and very very quiet depsite thier team's excellent display "We Hate Shrewsbury" was about the best they could do
6) There was one hell of a fight after Telford's second goal. Telford had about 40 burberry right down by the Brentford end giving it some all the way through. When the goal went in two Telford burberrys ran on the pitch pulling the V's etc and Brentford just went nuts, about ten went on the pitch, mass fight with stewards, at least 8 stewards and 30 Brentford all going fists flying. It really was shocking, no police in sight. Later, a group of Telford fans were throwing stones + bricks at brentford leaving and it all went off outside. By the time we left we had Police every 30 yards on the way out. It was truly shocking. A group of about 20 Brentford fans actually chased the stewards out of the away end. A couple of stewards got absolutely battered, kicked on the floor and that sort of stuff. In terms of organisation it was an utter farce, no police anywhere, burberrys from London and Wolves just taking shots at each other, it was awful. It really was amateur, I hope to God they don't get Millwall in the next round.
7) Brentford really were woeful. No substance, no passing, no incisive play. Telford closed them down well and they were utterly outclassed.
In terms of Tuesday night I think telford will obviously be on a high after todays result and so they should. They are a strong battling team and close down well. I don't think we should fear them directly, although if they hit form on the day then they have enough in their team to cause us serious problems
My big hope now is the 30-40 Wolves Burberry who started the trouble with Brentford don't come to Shrewsbury, because actually running on the pitch to fight people is just crazy, and really does have no place in football.
Well done Telford, they will get a decent slot on MOTD tonight as the big shock, and should have some nice things said about them because they totally outclassed Brentford
