Brentford vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[Baldy]

For our continued and long term growth it is crucial we win tomorrow. After our abysmal recent league form we are very, very lucky to still be in with a shout for a Champions League spot next sesaon.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. We now have the strength in depth and quality. Go for victory Unai, all guns blazing.

0-3 Villa

Is it Brentford we got a bit niggley with last season?

Think some of their fans were slagging Watkins off and he was quite vocal when he scored against them.

They are a dirty, niggly team.

Mee was sent off for being his normal dirty bastard. Then late on Emi decided to needlessly get involved lucky not to get a red, with Kamara unfortunately getting a really really soft one for trying to get one of their players to look back at him.

Important game but we have to have an eye on Wednesday too. Therefore -

---------- Martinez--------
Garcia Disasi Torres Digne
--- Kamara --- McGinn----
Ramsey __________ Ascensio
--- Marlene ----- Watkins ----

Will be close enough to the starting line up. Mings will be rested for the CL and Cash likely still on naughty step after his row with Emery during the week. Will be interesting to see how Torres goes. Maatsen might also come in again at left back. Digne was poor during the week.

As much as many of us are keen to see Malen given a go, Id be stunned if Watkins didn't start up top. Bailey will start again I think on the right. Ramsey on left and Asensio might get the nod over Rogers.

What row was that?

That all stemmed from that Bailey back pass from halfway which was almost OG of the season , then the altercations started with dwarf and Martinez and it rumbles on from there .

Our record post UCL games suggests will lose this comfortably.

What row was that?

I was wondering the same. Was it the same row Emi supposedly had?

What row was that?

I missed that as well.

We've got more depth and players coming back. Would be nice if this one was different. We could have won the home game 4 or 5-0.

[VillaTim]

Think they will attack us which if we stand firm will suit our game on the fast counter. If they go ahead it will be tough as they'll sit deep and counter .

They've been very good away but including the FA Cup they are on a home run of 5 defeats and 2 draws. Score first and we'll win

[cdbearsfan]

They, somehow, managed to be even bigger crybabies than Tottenham and Arsenal when we won there last season. Oh no a striker has celebrated a goal against us, just because we abused him all game, what a  bastard!
