The no manager bounce thing is a concern, Brentford have been pretty much flawless this season except for one game.

They won their last 3 no manager games. Seems that since Brenda has gone they've all grown a pair of tomates. Should be an interesting game.

Martinez

Young - Konsa - Mings - Moreno

McGinn - Douglas - Kamara

Buendia - Watkins - Ramsey

Hopefully Diego Carlos can come on for the last ten minutes or so when we're 3-0 up and get some minutes in his legs.

I think we should be changing one if not both full backs. No point having a squad if we aren't going to use it with a second game in 4 days

Is there a Press Conference for this? How come some teams have them, others don't and that they are erratic?

0-4 Watkins x2 McGinn and Emi B, that last second goal for Palace against them would have put them on a massive downer.

They were awful the weekend and could have lost by six, I hope they play as badly tomorrow.

Yes there is, on the OS.

I'd probably give Young a rest. Maybe Digne in for Moreno. There are a lot of games in April and they are 2 positions easy to rotate without much discenible change in quality

They've all just had pretty much a fortnight off from competitive football, no need to rotate, though I wouldn't think Kamara will start anyway.

Not surprisingly, Kamara was off the pace at the weekend and is maybe the only change I would make.

Have to be honest, unless Young is struggling, i don’t see the point in resting him or Moreno for that matter.

Me neither.

We're much better than we used to be, but we're nowhere near good enough to be able to rest players for league games.

By the look of the home game, they had sussed out how to press against our two triangles method of playing out from the back. I’m hoping with Brenda gone, they’ll forget.
