Brentford vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Legion]

Mediocre at best.

Midfield looks very pedestrian. Let's just hope we realise we can't just hoof it to Scott.

[Rigadon]

That team looks woefully average.  Good job were playing woefully average Brentford then.

What could possibly go wrong?

Goals in our net equalling more than goals in theirs.

Well it is what we're apparently aspiring to these days.

He just didn’t need to play two defensive midfielders today. But that’s Bruce for you. He’s gone 4-5-1 essentially, or 4-2-3-1 possibly.

I fear we will surrender possession in the middle and they will push us back all game. Brentford like to keep the ball and we do a great job giving it away. I hope that there is a plan for Jedinak and Whelan to play closer to the front 4 otherswise there will be a massive gap for Brentford to expose.

This has the looking of a team selection prior to a manager losing their job.

This is the chance Hogan’s been waiting for, especially with Grealish just behind him. Let’s hope we play the ball to his feet.

Aye, agree with this. Time to shine for Hogan. Hopefully he does and is the player we hoped for.

Actually I quite like the line up overall. Which is the kiss of death as I am always wrong.

Are you trying to cheers us up? Cheers!

[AV82EC]

Fuck me that’s a negative team selection.

[WarszaVillan]

Win and we're six points off second (big if, etc..)

It's not working for me so far.

Let’s see how we start the game. If we start whacking long balls up to him it will be shit all round. If we try and keep possession and pass it through to him we have a chance. Bruce has failed massively every time he’s picked Hogan to find the best way to use him. Not saying Hogan hasn’t been at fault too, but it comes down to the manager. And certainly when it is the manager who spent close to £10m to bring him to the club.

There is currently an element of pissing in the wind. Hopefully he'll fall lucky.
