We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Brentford and Ipswich Town.

Here are some of your comments:

Brentford fans

Will: Nervy! We left the motor in the locker room and could not match Ipswich's energy in the first half. Our quick passing has gone. Flekken is living too dangerously with his passes into the middle. Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter and Wissa carried us and somehow we led. Against 10 men we lost control. It was a somewhat lucky finish, but in Mbeumo we trust! Three points but we should do better.

Ernie: Definitely a rollercoaster game for Brentford supporters. These types of games are great to watch but can be frustrating when your team make silly mistakes. Pat on the back to Ipswich but job well done for Brentford.

David: Brentford were terrible for the first 20 minutes, which is unlike us. We are well known for coming out of the traps quickly. Our passing was sloppy and I still worry that some of our players are too one-footed to play out from the back, and Flekken struggles with distribution. We had a great attitude going forward. Lewis-Potter was man of the match for me.

Nigel: We never make it easy for ourselves. We can always score a hatful but the way we concede goals makes each game a nail-biting affair!

Ipswich fans

Richard: A frustrating result but a huge improvement on last week's dire home defeat against Everton. Keep playing like that and we will be fine. Brentford are a decent side and they are dangerous against anyone on their day. We matched them and deserved a draw.

Barry: I was concerned at all team changes but the boys competed well and Brentford found it difficult. After taking the lead, by equalising first, we showed spirit and determination. We nearly got it to 4-4. They are positives and we are getting there, as we continue to develop.

Paul: Ipswich are too good to go down and they are always losing by very fine margins. I think that will turn in their favour soon. Why Delap, their top goalscorer, didn't start is a mystery because he really made an impact when he came on. He was unlucky to hit the post with the last kick of the match. But it was a very exciting game.

Jamie: Good effort by Ipswich. So refreshing to hear Kieran McKenna only praising his team and focusing on the positives. I honestly believe Ipswich will be OK once they get that first win out of the way. I think Thomas Frank is brilliant as well, such a good manager with a measured perspective. He deserves his success, always gracious in defeat as well.
