Brentford (A, FAC) 5/1: Build-Up & Match Thread

[sycophantia]

Midfield options are a little thin then after Doyle and Gomes.

TWF favourite Hodge 3rd choice...?

I wonder if Chirewa has over taken Hodge and might get some minutes in this game?

 

[Tony Towner]

He's a forward I believe

Wide left for the yooths IIRC.

Bellegarde?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Whittingham is pretty highly rated it seems. I've never seen him play though.

Griffiths never got off the bench for Walsall in their FA Cup games so another option. Albeit not one I'd want to use, but I wouldn't place too much stock in "he couldn't get a game for Walsall", as a) we know from loaning them players (particularly Ronan) in the past that they do weird things and b) I don't think Joe Hodge would get a game for Walsall either.

Bellegarde?

Not a CM option really though is he?

He's played in CM for Strasbourg in a 3, not sure if he's ever done it in a 2

He played pretty much CM for us in a 3 on his debut vs Liverpool, just had more licence to go forward than the other two

I'm hoping this is being shown abroad on TV so I can find somewhere to watch it, why did it get moved to the Friday night again? Was there a reason?

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

I'm really worried sick about this one.
Its live on greek tv, first wolves game in over a year, live.
Cant wait to watch it but i don't want to jinx it, what should i do? .

Would be very different playing in a two though.

Precisely the reason you say, it's being shown overseas. Not sure where though.

Would be very simple for the FA to piggyback on whoever is doing so, host the stream on their site and charge say £5 for anyone interested, but no. If you take their backwards logic to the nth degree it's because if they do that, I might not go to Fulham vs Rotherham or Tottenham vs Burnley.

Of course. But I would never pick Hodge to do that either against anyone above League Two.

I really like Whittingham whenever i've seen him in the u21s. To me he looks like he anticipates things a bit better / quicker than his peers which I think is a sign of a good player.

 

[sycophantia]

Ah, cheers, dunno why I thought he was a CM.

You wouldn't pick him in a Sunday league pub team.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Is Holman cup tied?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Who?!
