Brentford (A) 5/10: Build-Up & Match Thread

[1986]

I read this and my only thought was who the fuck is Bastien? And isn't Schweinsteiger a bit long in the tooth now?

PS: I do know he is that young French lad who will probably not play a meaningful game for at least 12 months.

Not sure about that . If he's good enough , he's young enough .

 

[Tredman]

He's certainly big enough. Him & Toti as a two would be comedy gold though I imagine.

 

[Jinky]

You've managed us to 1 win in the last 17 Premier League matches. This absolutely is "must win", Gaz.

 

[NicholasG1973]

Touch of Deja vu, Gaz.

 

[Kenny]

Reached the stage in a managers journey where everything they say is fucking annoying and is just noise.


My favourite stage.

 

[jd1981]

Winning tomorrow doesn’t even give him parity just buys him time until palace at home. The BIG month November stuff is annoying and arrogant to think we’ll make up all our points then.

 

[sycophantia]

I'm certainly not confident but still see us being able to win this. We shouldnt be going there with any fear. If we're no where near winning this, then we really are fucked.

 

[Tony Towner]

Pond playing tonight so Bueno and Dawson must both be 100%

I'm still expecting Bueno/Toti tomorrow as Dawson won't have trained much this week.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Bueno is a doubt too?

 

[Tredman]

Bueno is a doubt too?

Went off with a bad glute last week

 

[Jinky]

Bueno is a doubt too?

Gaz has said he’s fine for tomorrow.

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Nobody could objectively think we're going to win. Only hope or blind faith.

We won 4-1 last year and Hwang scored 2!

 

[Tony Towner]

We won 4-1 last year and Hwang scored 2!

....and?

 

[The Bear]

....and?

Last season counts remember!

 

[Derby Wolf]

We won 4-1 last year and Hwang scored 2!

Fuelled partly by the great Nathan Collins giveaway.

 

[Woburn Wolf]

....and?

Simply saying that I don’t share your pessimism. Brentford have a number of injuries including their new star striker. I don’t see it as hope or blind faith, more our best opportunity for a result so far this season.

We've had opportunities all season; haven't taken one yet. (There has to be a first time, though, so let's hope it's today.)

 

[Indy Wolf]

Why not today? All it takes is that 1st win. Just like when LOP took over a couple years ago and won out of the gate and moved us off the bottom. Or even beating City last year. Just find a way to win.

 

[Lycan]

Just find a way to win.

The problem with that is that we seem to be finding every possible way to lose at the moment.
