Alex Pritchard - Brentford

[Firsttouch]

Just got back from the Barnet game he played 61min,he played OK nothing outstanding but a good 6 rating setting up one goal,Brentford won 5-1.They give him a free role and they play very good football that will suit his game.

I was at the game too!! My youth team was on ball boy duties.

did set up a goal (probabably the worst defending i've seen live in the pro game)
But did not get on the ball half as much as we/he would of liked... I hope the brentford lads warm to him.

Have seen him play a lot better but it was his first game,the assist was very bad defending by Barnet who were very bad on the night but it was his slow skimmer(Miss kick) across the face of the goal for the player to score in the second half. I was in the Brentford end and did see a ball boy getting a telling off by the Deaf Lad in charge for being in the wrong place,the boy must have got his positional sense off the manager

Ended 3-2 to Brentford - with Prich scoring twice

OGC Nice finished 17th in Ligue 1 last season so I am not going to get too excited. Will be interesting to see how he gets on at Championship level.

I'd guess that OGC Nice are almost the equivalent of a Championship team then - and a match for the other Championship sides Pritch will be playing against this coming season

 

[Lufti]

If they continue with that high pressing game during the season, that'll help him for when he comes back

Some good high pressing. "Poch likes..."

 

[SlickMongoose]

Starts today.

Had one eye on the game, thought he did well and was one of Brentford's main threat.
Cut inside from left twice to come close with two shots, one past the post and one the goalie had to do well to save.
Also an impressive through-ball/cross-sorta that put a Brentford forward alone on goal.
No doubt in my mind that Pritch will do well at Championship level this season.

Just saw the highlights on the football league show. He looked very good and the match reports are very positive about his performance.

 

[Tom Pops]

Haven't seen the highlights but saw a lot of Brentford fans on twitter were saying he played very well. Promising!

I caught the highlights, Pritchard did some good things. I really wish we had him here to play ALM in some games. Got so much more about him than Lennon. He's a feisty little fella too, does't mind getting his foot in.

But Lennon was once good and has played for England and has been at the club for many years

I'm going to Bournemouth v Brentford on Saturday, looking forward to seeing him in action.

Don't know if he was part of it but Dagenham & Redbridge drew 6-6 with Brentford a couple of nights ago in the Capital One Cup...mental stuff.

Pritchard didn't play in that match.

Suppose he's being saved for league games.

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Did he play at the weekend?

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Was a very poor game of football at the weekend, Pritchard was technically in the top 2 players on the pitch, was a toss up between him and the young lad Ryan Fraser who crossed for the Bournemouth goal. Pritchard was really starved of the ball in the first half as Brentford were playing one up top, and when they got the ball they knocked it long for their lone striker to chase, the only time AP got a chance to put his foot on the ball were set pieces, but unfortunately these were quite poor.

Second half, after the goal went in the game was open as anything and he had a chance to run at players and was a lot more involved, was a bit too much of a 'head down/stepover' merchant though to really cause too many problems.

He does get stuck in though and puts himself about for someone so small in frame.

It's a strange one, I cant think what use he would be if he was here for the season, you wouldn't bring him on instead of Lennon or Townsend in a game as he's not even at their level yet, but to send him out to a non footballing team like Brentford who have just come up to the Championship and will struggle to assert any sort of control of the majority of games they play could just become a massive waste of time.
