Teams become more compact when they are trying not to concede

NOT when dominating games. We have to find a way to break teams down because we are one of the big boys in this league now...in most games this season we have found a way or been unlucky (Derby). We aren't far off!

Brentford were blowing out their collective arses at the end, five mins more and I am pretty sure we would have had another 2 points. Our clutch game (Poi! I know) is really quite impressive.
