Realistically can't see us getting anything out of this. If i was Bowyer i'd even be temped to make a load of changes and freshen things up with an eye on the Reading game.
Give Pearce and Pratley a rest (if they feel they need one), bring in the likes of Sarr, Doughty, JFC. Go 4411 with Williams playing off Aneke.2 -
By far our toughest assignment of the mini season that we are in (assuming Leeds will already be promoted by the time we play them). No reason we should be seeing a drubbing though. We have only conceded one goal in 4 matches and when we played them earlier in the season we beat them 1-0. Admittedly thanks in part to huge profligacy from their strikers.
It is clear that Brentford don't like teams parking the bus and if we can repeat a similar performance to that day at the valley then it will be a tight scoreline. I think the difference between us nicking a 0-0 and losing though will be Benrahma. He is the best player in the league and he may just be too good for us. I expect us to lose but we wont disgrace ourselves.
The three after are big ones though.

I think we're due a deflection, or a defensive slip. Or a twenty yard screamer.RedChaser said:
I'm glad you never put me on the spot and asked how we are going to score 😉. In all seriousness we will get at least a couple of chances from a set piece or breakaway and we just have to take one 🤞.JamesSeed said:

Keep it tight, defend for our lives and stick one in their net James 😉.JamesSeed said:None of the teams in the Championship are are all that special, with the possible exception of Brentford.
Logic would suggest at least a 3-0 win for Brentford, so I’m predicting 0-1 to Charlton. A fairly ungenerous 15/2 for the win, and 20/1 for 0-1 with Paddy Power.I’ve know idea how we’ll manage it though.
PS QPR have just scored v. Middlesbrough :-)
(Good results yesterday too).3 -
Lose 7-01

The binary bores break the curse with a 4-0 defeat ...will we ever score again0

Shorts and socks to this are dark blue, Brentford wear black. Wonder if this will be allowed or if we'll have to wear the part of the home kit.Sage said:
Correct. Have changed the visual team presentation to represent this. Thanks.JoshAddick said:First time in the blue kit?0 -
I seriously hope against hope can't see anything but a defeat.
Hope I'm wrong.0 -
An excellent and very interesting preview @Sage.
Parking the bus will certainly be the order of the day and I expect that we'll see Field in for Pratters, with a back five and Mathews and Doughty as wing backs. I'd like to see Oztumer (very unlikely) or Williams involved against a footballing side like Brentford, especially if Albie Morgan, our main creator, is not fit to start. Hemed and Aneke look our best options amongst strikers who don't strike, although Doughty probably represents our biggest threat if we can spring them on the break.
Dillon is in for a very busy evening but there's no better man to have between the sticks. Brentford are flying but you never know.4 -
We're a decent counter-attacking side. That gives us a punchers chance.2

Save Pratley for Reading, which will also mean he can get bookings in the last 4 games with no suspension affecting this season. Lockyer in the same situation but as our best defender he has to play.
0-3 defeat with more than half an eye on the Luton v Barnsley game where a draw would make me ecstatic.0 -
Comfortable away win 4-0.8
-
Just wait....we’ll get something out of this game0
-
Just watched the 2 minute Sky highlights of Wigan Brentford and Wigan defending was appalling.
i think we could get something here. 0-2 Hemed, Sarr1 -
A complete free-hit as far as i'm concerned.6
-
Bite your hand off for a 0-02
-
Phillips
Mathews, Locks, Pearce, Sarr, Oshi
Lapslie, Cullen, Field, Doughty.
ChucksWork your socks off and see where we are.1 -
If we tried shooting at their goal occasionally we might stand an outside chance.
1.0 thrashing. Zero attempts on target.1 - Sponsored links:

Shooting isnt the issue as we've been creating loads...grumpyaddick said:If we tried shooting at their goal occasionally we might stand an outside chance.

Its keeping it on target and out of reach of the goalkeeper that they need to learn3 -
Who would be our penalty taker now? I'd punt 1-0 with them the scorer0

We have a lot of them. Forget a bet on that.Siv_in_Norfolk said:Who would be our penalty taker now? I'd punt 1-0 with them the scorer0 -
Cullen for me he took and scored the late penalty Sarr won for us at West Brom.Siv_in_Norfolk said:Who would be our penalty taker now? I'd punt 1-0 with them the scorer3 -

You never know,but if we lose and some of the teams below lose,we will still be out of the bottom 3 with 4 games left,with 3 winnable.0

Matthews came back in after a knock on Friday. Will he be able to start as soon as Tuesday? I think George Lapslie might well have to play his wing back role again.2

Southampton have just beaten Man City 1-0 by nicking a goal and defending for their lives against wave after wave of attack so that's the way to do it 😉.ro_addick said:
