Brentford (H) - Wed 9th Feb, 19:45 | Pre-match Thread

The opposition is entitled to play however they like.

They are, but for their manager to say we didn't deserve our win in Dec, bit lucky etc etc, to then change tactics and hope for a 0-0 is a bit contradictory for me.

Within 5 mins of the BT live coverage starting they will be talking all things scum .

Not seen a "ive got a funny feeling about this game" in a post yet , there is usually one miserable bastard on Bluemoon predicting doom and gloom ,but there is half and hour to go , someone might step up :)

I have a funny feeling about this game!

Managers talk shite all the time mainly for their own players benefit. We face a wall most games for a reason. I would love teams to be more progressive as a lot of games can be quite tedius to watch.

No one likes attack vs defence with endless side to side passing but it is what it is. Let's hope for a first half goal or 2. Remember if Brentford get sucked in to a relegation battle goal difference could be important.

No doubt about it. They are both dropped.

There isn’t “no doubt about it” at all.

Just watched the pre-match chatter on the club website. First time. Who's the 16 year old interviewing Vassell and Sinclair?

That's very true, their GD is pretty good compared to those below them and they still have to play each of those teams before the end of the season. And that's where their survival will be decided, not this game. Talent-wise they're nowhere near our level, but at least have a go, you never know the footballing gods may look down favourably on this Houslow bus stop.
