Brentford vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[Dave]

Did I hear right Brentford havent won for 6 games?


oh , so whos the best team to play .

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

Yup, not won at home since the start of December.

Just the right time for Dr. Villa to turn up and fix that.

[Brend'Watkins]

Rashford has to open his account soon. This should be the game.

No Ollie, Toronto?

We have cancelled his contract and as free agent he has signed for Arsenal.

What row was that?

They had a bit of a shouting match near end of Brugge game after Bogarde came on. They nearly scored as a result of the confusion that sub caused. Wasn't going to take much to set Emery off that particular night it has to be said.

[VillaTim]

If we can convert our early chances (Oliver) and not concede from their first shot I think we can come back up the M40 with 3 points .

Southampton or Leicester.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank on team news: "Christian Norgaard is back. Mathias Jensen will be involved in the squad as well which is a positive.

"Sepp van den Berg will train with the team next week"

[Somniloquism]

Still only Barkley and Onana out for us.

Emery continued: “Barkley is out, not available for tomorrow, Onana is starting to work with the team and is close to being with us as well.

Indeed.

Onana the man that can never get fit

Onana the man that can never get fit

Very disappointing for the club record signing.

New club, who dis ?

[Martyn Smith]

2-1. Agree that Watkins should start on the bench, maybe to come on late when hopefully we're already leading, just to rile them...

[VillaTim]

Hopefully Baileys upwards trajectory continues , I'd also start Ramsey possibly rest Rogers although always reluctant to say that as he's become such a vital player for us.

[Clampy]

We do normally play well against teams who play good football so I'm feeling fairly optimistic.
