Brentford vs Aston Villa match thread

No Ollie Watkins. We really need Ings to step up today. These are the days we bought him for.

We are stuffed today. That bench is so weak

The bench has some experienced players along with some of the most exciting young players at the club

Traores played less than 90 minutes all season in the league but forced to start as we have no players.

Not a very good place to have a lot of youngsters on in my view as its a intimidating place to go. Hopefully they thrive under this kind of environment.

Hoping archer gets some minutes today

Happy with that line-up given Ollie is out. Big day for Josh Feeney, on the bench at 16.

'Intimidating' isn't a word that springs to mind on the very rare occasions I think of Brentford.

I’ve never seen Brentford described as intimidating before. If players are affected by the atmosphere there then they might as well give up.

This is why talk of flogging / loaning Ings is barmy.

Blimey. Quite a few missing. Covid related?

Have you ever been to a football match?

Surprised to see Feeney on the bench, he's only 16! Not sure how many times he's played for the U23's. Presumably Bogarde isn't available for selection as I would have thought he would have made the bench.

I like seeing some youth on the bench. When you've got a choice of 9 subs, I would expect clubs to have a mix on their bench. Even the likes of Man City so it doesn't impress me when I see Pep moaning about having 4 kids on the bench.

[Villa Lew]

SJM back that's the best news

Understand that Lamare Bogarde is in the Netherlands visiting family, so wouldn’t have been available, due to current restrictions, to make it back in time to feature today.

Predictably, sky have started the wankfest over chelski and Liverpool already. Twats.

They do have a good atmosphere going since they've had fans back, proper right on top of the pitch stadium.
