B
Proctor?

Bench is certainly less impressive than it usually is.

Looks like he’s one of our U18 keepers

Yep, looked him up, he's 16! (17 in a few days)

Bit of a gamble.

Oh the lovely Ben Mee. I hope we have a special reception for that Cnut.

I assume Matty Cash has his snooker ball / sock weapon in readiness.

Goes to show we do still need a few new signings because there's at least 3 players on that bench that you wouldn't want to see coming on today. (Although 2 of them are goalkeepers, to be fair)

Digne, Tielemans, and Dougie being there would obviously change that too, but some reinforcements in January might be more necessary than I thought.

From what I know about Brentford, that looks like a pretty bare-bones side they've got there.

Can we bemoan our injury and suspension list like spurs, Newcastle, Man U.
Or shall we just get on with it.

Yes but with some kind asymmetrical wizardry from Emery thrown in.
