Brentford 1st minute goals

[unhinched]

Brentford, incredibly, score their third goal in successive games in under a minute.
It might even be an all time world record.
West Ham's Souceck said they were embarrassed as they prepared well for it.. but still conceded.
The 'strategy' doesn't seem that amazing other than hit it long and get bodies in the box.
I remember those two under 10 second goals in international matches in March. (Austria v Slovakia & Germany in France) They also got bodies in the opposition box in seconds.
Set play coaches ?
Can Argyle do it next week ?

 

[Ham Green]

Quickest goal we ever scored was just like that. Home to Crystal Palace during the Pulis era - back to Hodges, long to Evans, flick on for Chadwick, 1-0. Nine seconds.
We spent the next 97 minutes with our backs to the wall and scored on the counter with 9 seconds remaining. It was glorious.

We won away to Wolves a few years later in a similar way. Paul Gallagher scored after about thirty seconds and we hardly got another kick. A very long afternoon but we got the three points. They won the league that year as well.

I remember we were behind one of the goals at Molineux that day, which is unusual because the away fans are normally down one of the touchlines there.

The knack, when playing Brentford, is to win the toss and choose to kick off I guess!!
