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

[Alan]

I thought he did well then too.

Think that'll be his best position long term. Strong enough on the ball for it, anyway.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Who?!

Fletcher Holman.

Just wondered with RAN, Hwang, Lemina, Traore and Silva all gone since our last game, and Fraser too if he'll be on the bench.

But if he's played for Eastbourne in the FA Cup, then he'll be Cup tied?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't think we've even signed him yet.

 

[Tony Towner]

You'd think a day after having his arse handed to him he'd have learnt...but no

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Yes, that's silly.

 

[Alan]

I guess him playing for Cincinnati counts? Even though that season has ended?

There's an odd rule about playing for clubs whose seasons are not the same, so I don't think Mosquera's loan counts as a second club so he may be right on this occasion.

It’s an interesting one with Yerson. If he hadn’t got injured against Spurs in the cup back in 2021, I suspect he’d have featured in our first 11 a fair few times by now.

A successful loan to the Championship where he can experience some first team football over here would be preferable to sitting on the bench here. But having played 30 odd games for Cincinnati already, I don’t think he’s desperate for minutes & he might actually benefit more from being around the first team squad at Wolves. Plus as we’ve seen with others, there’s no guarantees he’d get minutes on loan anyway.

If we’re led to believe the rumours and we have to be “creative” in the window, it’s unlikely we’re bringing another CB in. So Yerson gives us some depth in that position should something ever happen to one of Dawson/Kilman or Toti.

I’d give him some minutes tomorrow and see what he looks like.

He was ahead of Kilman in the queue ahead of 2021/22 when Lage first came in. Was the first replacement when Boly got injured in the first friendly. Very likely he'd have started the season alongside Saiss and Coady if he hadn't also got injured in turn (at Coventry I think).

Let’s not use Lage judgement as a sensible gauge….

Then behind Neves just as Lage was ready to fook off

Edit. As @Johnny75 said...

I think Mosquera can play for us and still go out on loan to a champ club

Registration
1. A player must be registered at an association to play for a club as either a
professional or an amateur in accordance with the provisions of article 2. Only
registered players are eligible to participate in organised football. By the act
of registering, a player agrees to abide by the statutes and regulations of FIFA,
the confederations and the associations.
2. A player may only be registered with one club at a time.
3. Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season.
During this period, the player is only eligible to play official matches for
two clubs. As an exception to this rule, a player moving between two clubs
belonging to associations with overlapping seasons (i.e. start of the season in
summer/autumn as opposed to winter/spring) may be eligible to play in official
matches for a third club during the relevant season, provided he has fully
complied with his contractual obligations towards his previous clubs. Equally,
the provisions relating to the registration periods (article 6) as well as to the
minimum length of a contract (article 18 paragraph 2) must be respected.
4. Under all circumstances, due consideration must be given to the sporting
integrity of the competition. In particular, a player may not play official
matches for more than two clubs competing in the same national
championship or cup during the same season, subject to stricter individual
competition regulations of member associations.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by not reading things properly.

 

[Indy Wolf]

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?

Not sure if this counts, but it's being shown live in the US on ESPN+. Finally, a Cup match shown live here against a team not named Liverpool or United.

 

[Tredman]

Seems to be on in pretty much every country except the UK. Bodes well for a stream but very shit if you want to watch legally.

I have no truck at all with UK-based fans who never go to games and demand everything ever is televised (ideally for free), but this genuinely is a stupid situation. If you're moving our game then give us the chance to watch it, I'll pay you and everything.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

These are all the TV Channels world wide showing the game.

Not streaming.

Absolutely this.
