WANDERERS 0 - 0 BRENTFORD - FT
Posted on: Sat 13 Sep 2008
Ben Campbell reporting from Adams Park
Full-time here at Adams Park and it's ended in a 0-0 draw. The game as a whole was far better than the scoreline suggested and there were plenty of chances at both ends but no-one was able to apply the finishing touch. A very entertaining game at Adams Park - a real advert for League Two football. The Blues remain in the automatic promotion places following this result, only one point behind new leaders Bradford.
92nd min - We're approaching the final whistle and still we don't have a goal but what a game we've had out in the Buckinghamshire sunshine - a real advert for League Two.
91st min - Church and Harrold were looking to combine but was nicked away by Wilson.
90th min - 3 minutes added.
90th min - Great ball in from the left for Brentford but somehow the ball ended up in Scott Shearer's hands after everyone missed it.
89th min - This time Mike Williamson has been cautioned for hauling down Nathan Elder, a good foul though as Elder was breaking clear.
88th min - Just over 2 minutes left and we are continuing to push forward for the winner. This game has been excellent and to win it would be awesome.
87th min - Brentford are the team pushing forward at the moment but Matty Phillips did excellent to get the ball back.
84th min - The Blues are piling forward in search for this winner and are looking very threatening.
82nd min - Harrold has been penalised for a push inside the Bees area.
80th min - I have just been told the attendance, the best of the season - 5,799.
79th min - Just over ten minutes left and both are still looking for the opener. Wanderers have looked the more likely but Brentford have threatened on occasions. It's going to be interesting last ten - don't go anywhere.
77th min - Former Plymouth man Ryan Dickson is going to come on for the Bees and is replacing Glenn Poole.
75th min - Superb trickery from Phillips down the right enabled him to beat Johnson, he then stood a great cross up for the head of Harrold but the new man's effort was well saved by Hamer. Phillips could be the difference.
74th min - Mike Williamson has just showed Charlie MacDonald not to mess with him. Tremendous strength from the big man ensured the Blues got the goal-kick. A class defender.
73rd min - Matty Phillips is being prepared for the Blues and it'll be the first time the Wanderers have seent the youngster this season after being out injured. Phillips has replaced a very good Gavin Grant this afternoon.
71st min - Commanding header from Willo as the ball started to enter the danger area. From the resulting corner the ball came to the back stick and Scott Shearer was again on hand to turn away from Bennett's header.
70th min - Just over 20 minutes left here at Adams Park and still the teams are are deadlocked, somehow!
68th min - Another good effort from Chris Zebroski has stung the fingertips of Ben Hamer. He was fed the ball by Woodman and was able to turn his man, like he has been doing all day, but only could shoot down Hamer's throat.
65th min - First chance for Matt Harrold at Adams Park and it was ever so close to being one chance, one goal. He was found inside the 18-yard by Grant but after getting the ball out of his feet he dragged it just wide.
64th min - Superb forward move from the Blues and once again the Doc was at th heart of it. He was found by Mousinho but as Doc's pass was guided towards Harrold it was stolen by James Wilson.
62nd min - It's going to be interesting to see how Harrold and Church work together up front.
59th min - Lovely first touch from Church to find Doc and we then were able to counter, but the switched ball to Grant was too long. It's a good weapon to have though in the Blues' locker - a quick counter-attack.
58th min - Church will replace McGleish and Harrold is coming on for Spence. Bold move by Peter Taylor. Church and Harrold will go up top with Zebroksi going onto the left just as he did against Rochdale last week.
57th min - Nice effort from Glenn Poole on his wonderful left-foot and it took a deflection of Doc for a corner. From the resulting kick the ball came back to Craig Pead on the edge of the 18-yard but he lashed it wide.
55th min - This game is really ebbing and flowing and both are very much in this game. Brentford had just conjured something up from a free-kick but the ball ran all the through and went out for a goal-kick.
53rd min - The fans were calling for Tommy Doc to shoot, instead he picked out McGleish with a sumptious pass but the forward couldn't do much as the ball came at him waist high.
51st min - Taylor is now down on the bench as he likes to do in the second half and this games is really heating up.
49th min - Great block from Woodman to deny Newton. The crowd has really lifted at the start of this half as both teams look to get the opener.
48th min - However, Brentford have a chance to take the lead from an in-direct free kick inside the area. MacDonald's drive was blocked before Poole shot high and wide. Lucky escape.
47th min - Peter Taylor must have had a work with the lads at half-time as they've started well.
46th min - Excellent start to the 2nd half from the Wanderers are especially for Gavin Grant. He once again beat his man with ease after a lovely turn and also picked out McGleish at the back stick but he could only head into the side-netting.
Half-time here at Adams Park and both teams go into the break all square at 0-0. It has been a very entertaining half despite what the scoreline suggests with the best chance falling to Blues striker Chris Zebroski, but after latching on to a long ball from Scott Shearer he couldn't quite direct it on goal. Brentford have looked more threatening in the last 10 minutes of the half and Scott Shearer had to make a great save on 40 minutes to deny Adam Newton from 25 yards, but overall the Wanderers have shaded the half.
45th min - 1 minute added.
44th min - Fantastic save from Scott Shearer diving down to his right to deny Adam Newton from 25 yards. It's the first time that Scott has been called in action but by god he was up to the challenge.
43rd min - A string of poor passes from both sides has meant the game has dropped in quality.
41st min - Zebroski has just seen an effort sail over the bar after turning his defender well.
39th min - Very clever foul by Mike Williamson on the halway line to stop Elder getting away, a bonus was that he didn't get booked either!
37th min - Good work from the Blues defence to eventaully get the ball away after some good pressure from Brentford. Most players would panic in the 18-yard but Tommy Doc just used his class to pass the Blues out of danger.
35th min - Excellent cross field pass to Lewwis Spence and the former Palace man did well to win a throw after being crowded out.
33rd min - Superb work from Mousinho and Zebroski in the middle of the park but after the latter made the run Grant's ball was just too long and it ran out for a goal-kick.
31st min - Zebroski has been full of running up top alongside Scott McGleish and he looks full of confidence after he goal at Rochdale last weekend.
30th min - Elder has just lashed a shot wide for Brentford after Bean's header fell into the path of the big striker. The big man should have done better but luckily he didn't.
28th min - It's been a very good opening 30 minutes especially from the Blues and probably on the run of play deserve to be 1-0 up. We've had chances through Zebroski and McGleish but Ben Hmaer has done well in the Bess to keep it to 0-0.
27th min - Clever play from Leon Johnson to win a free-kick from Charlie MacDonald.
23rd min - After the scramble the fall came back to John Mousinho but his shot was blocked by a barrage of Brentford defenders.
22nd min - Only a great save has denied the Blues going ahead. Gavin Grant did tremendous down the right after beating his marker Brett Johnson, he picked out McGleish but after doing all he could with the header Hamer was there to save the Bees.
21st min - Brentford's fans continue to show support for their team but Wanderers are on top.
20th min - Zebroski has nearly opened the scoring for the Blues after he latched onto Scott Shearer's excellent goal kick. Zebroski anticipated the bounce well and was onto it in a flash but Ben Hamer did well to close the angle and Chris' shot went just wide.
17th min - It's a very good atmosphere at Adams Park this afternoon with both sets of fans making good noise. Let's hope the Blues can give the Adams Park faithful someone to properly cheer soon.
15th min - Scott Shearer gets his second touch of the game and to be honest hasn't had anything to do so far on this one apart from two goal kicks.
Don't forget guys to send an email our way on your thoughts on the game or the season so far to media@wwfc.com.
12th min - Awesome defending from Willo to stop the dangerous Nathan Elder. This Blues defence is looking very strong and with Lewis Hunt and Will Antwi still to come back it can surely only get stronger.
10th min - Peter Taylor spoke before the game highlighting the reason for his side's rise to the top of the table and they've started the same today, not giving Brentford anytime on the ball.
9th min - Blues had a good spell of pressure then with the Bees finding it hard to get out of their own half. Peter Taylor will be happier after the last five minutes.
8th min - Good work from Grant down the right for the Blues and he has won a corner for the Blues. Willo met the corner well but no-one could help his effort goalwards.
7th min - First foul of the game and it's gone for Brentford after a poor one from Lewwis Spence.
6th min - Brentford have looked good and Glenn Poole has already showed his class with a cross in from the left.
4th min - Marvin in at the back post for Brentford but he scuffed his shot and it trickled into the grateful arms of Scott Shearer. Very bright start from both teams.
3rd min - Scott McGleish has started lively and his cross in troubled Hamer for a moment before he gathered.
2nd min - First effort has fallen to the Blues and Mike Williamson but his header didn't have enough power on it to trouble Ben Hamer.
1st min - The Bees have kicked-off. Early touch for Scott Shearer. Fantastic footwork from Chris Zebroski and he has earnt as early free-kick.
