    We're a counter-attacking side. That gives us a punchers chance.

    Reading a preview of the game and I saw a stat that I had not previously seen. Apparently our 95 yellow cards are the most of any club on the Championship.

    I wonder how many have been given against those playing against us... Suspect lower than 95

    Correct. We've got 9 more than the next side Barnsley.

    We are however one of only 2 sides (Luton are the other) without a red card.

    Brentford have the lowest amount of yellows. Only 46. Which is quite amazing for 41 league games.

    I think we are the 9th highest for fouls against.

    I am sure there is some correlation.

    Just realised I haven't picked a side for tomorrow. I think McGeady will start on the bench and we'll go with one of the following formations:

    Phillips
    Matthews | Lockyer | Pearce | Oshilaja
    Pratley
    Cullen | Morgan
    Williams
    Aneke | Hemed

    or 

    Aneke | Bonne
    Williams | Cullen | Pratley | Morgan
    Oshilaja | Pearce | Lockyer | Matthews
    Phillips

    would take a 0-0 now all day 
    as others have said one of them crazy games we could somehow nick it 
    but a thrashing would not be surprising with their BMW
    if that happens just hope that it’s kept down to not affect our goal difference would could end up being an extra point 
    my team I would like is

                      Phillips
            Lockyer Pearce Sarr 
    Matthews                       Doughty
              Cullen Williams Field
                     Aneke 
                              Green

    playing then on the counter with pace and hoping to nick a goal

    think bowyer will be wanting to ensure certain players are 100 for reading a huge game and winnable one so therefore I predict a very defence rotated team of 

                         Phillips 

                Lockyer Pearce Sarr 
    lapslie                                    Purrington
                 Cullen JFC  Field
                       McGeady
                         Hemed

    Not sure I agree with those teams, too large a gap in behind midfield and again sacrificing the best creative passer of the ball we have at current.

    The head says we lose by a lot. The heart says we lose by quite a few. 1-0 to The Reds.

    Our only red card is LB!

    I expect a straightforward, uneventful, 6-0 away win.

    Expecting nothing from this one but hope we can at least put in a proper battling performance. Charlton do have a way of surprising us like this.

    Would basically go with your team sage but I would have Pratley in for Pearce and just tell him to follow Watkins wherever he goes. That way we still have a back 4 to deal with their other threats. Have a feeling we may see more changes than that though as Bow will prioritise Saturday over this.

    Can’t see past us getting spanked. I would however sit hemed and bonne down and play clips of all the goals they’ve scored over the years, just to try and raise their confidence and inspire them a little. They can both score, LB has stated the bonne is a natural, I believe he’s over thinking things at the moment and just needs a re set. Reminding him of his strengths may just help the lad rediscover his potency. 
    However I see the Bees winning comfortably, and I hope is doesn’t effect them to much for the crucial 3 games after this one. 
    This. Bonne would have buried that chance against Millwall when he was on form earlier in the season. Hes a finisher that's his bread and butter, it was the other parts of his game that needed work (and improved exceptionally). I reckon its confidence. When he gets one he will get more.

    Cant see us getting anything out of this match. One thing I would like to see still is for Davison to have at least 45mins minimum as our strikers have been toothless and so give the young lad a chance,you never know and if he even gets a half decent shot on target that's a whole lot more than what we've seen in the last 4 matches from our other forwards. If he gets one in even if we still loose then at least we might have somebody who might put the ball in the net for the final 4 games. Come on LB give the lad some minutes.

    What ever team Lee Bowyer picks to play Brentford will be the correct team to play them on the night.

    Have faith in what Lee Bowyer is doing no matter what....without him we would be down already.

    Saying that can only see this match as a home win.

    Imagine sneaking out of their old ground with a massive 3 points that would probably just about keep us up. That is the prize that could be ours. It is not Liverpool or Man City we face but it is Brentford. They have been consistent beyond belief but even they could have an off day. Not tomorrow though. 3-0 Brentford.

    I suspect a very similar team as the one that played Cardiff as rotate to keep things fresh, and hopefully injury free.
    I would go 4-5-1, but Bows does like two up front so 3-5-2.

    No idea how we beat them at home, they absolutely battered us, those 3 points could be crucial come end of season

    £500 for me if we win 0-1

    A free hit imo to come home with no injuries and anything will be a bonus

    At the risk of being a pedant surely it is ‘had‘. Great post anyway.

    Football is ridiculous. More than anything we need one of our strikers to score and prove that they can, but instead we will win 1-0 with a scrappy set piece goal from Lockyer. Or Purrington.

    The form Brentford are in, and us having only scored 2 goals since we’ve been back, I can only see us getting a tonking.
    They ripped us to bits at the Valley and we will need to be every bit as tough at the back tonight as we were at the Valley.
    Heroic defending mixed with a huge slice of luck.
    I’ll still stream it, but a point could be like a win come the end of the season.
    Realistically I see a 3-1 defeat

    Can't see past a loss, but knowing us we will somehow get a point and then lose to reading.
