Why do we struggle so much against Brentford?

[footyskillz]

Woods off to Stoke so unlikely to be near the team tomorrow

I've just got to say it again then...
Can't see the woods for the bees

Brentford pass and move and play proper football.  It's alchemy, black magic, cheating I tell you, it's really not fair and should be banned like it is at Bodymoor Heath.

Do you watch them much?

Were a bunch of players thrown together by a manager who simply sends them out match after match, with his fingers crossed , hoping for the best, but with no particular game plan or style of play. Brentford are a team of limited players, well coached with each player knowing his role. The important difference is they are a “team” in every respect. Would like to see our players performance under someone like Dean Smith.

Doesn't say much for the rest of the league then does it?

Nope. Which makes the fact we couldn’t get promoted last season surrounded by pretty mediocre clubs, even more unpalatable.

When we give Brentford a 3/4 nill hiding playing pass and move Football with all the trimmings
 the Bruce out thread will have to be changed back to Staying again and all the doubters can shut the fuck up

For 5 minutes

I hope we beat them 1-0, in the last minute, having had 2% possession and with an offside goal that's come from a Velociraptor's big lump up field, that Bruce has brought on as a sub,with the dinosaur being right footed, but shoe-horned into the left hand side of midfield.

I hope we have a plan to close down Ryan Woods and stop him from running the game yetafuckingain.
A forlorn hope many might think, but I know that my redeemer liveth, and I have iron in my soul.

More chance of yours happening than mine I feel

We struggle against any team with a plan.

[Jon Crofts]

Plan? What’s that then, haven’t heard of one of them at Villa for a long time.

Do you watch them much?

Enough to know they play some decent football and I've seen us often enough to know that we rarely do.

Aston Villa are winless against Brentford since 1953

They've been on TV twice since Boxing Day. You catch both those games?
