Brentford vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[rob_bridge]

We need this. No ifs or buts.

Last league game for a month.

[Mellin]

Three points or mentally the league goes in the bin until August.

[eamonn]

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

Nah, they're more like Palace than Liverpool. We're cooked.

[Rory]

Frustrating draw, for me.

[Dante Lavelli]

It’s the sort of game where we need to win the physical battle, so I wouldn’t start Pau, Asensio or Bailey.  I’d also consider Bogarde as DCM so Tielemans can have a rest and Kamara’s minutes can be managed.

After Wednesday we don’t have a game until the end of the month so I don’t think we need to worry too much about resting players unless they are particularly fatigued.

[Meanwood Villa]

Nailed on defeat.

Away
After CL
At fucking Brentford

God point.  I’d still have one eye on Wednesday, so I’d select Garcia and Malen today.

It’s weird I had much more confidence for a Champions League away game than this. I just can’t see anything other than a loss here - hope I’m proved to be massively wrong.

It's a physical battle and you'd start little Lamare ahead of seasoned engine room specialists like Youri and Bouba? Come on...

I would play both and SJM.
Try and hold them and bring on the finishers to finish them second half.

Can't see anything but a loss?

What a ridiculous thing to say!

Why, it’s his opinion.
I couldn’t predict it.

It's a stupid opinion then because we won there last season and we are currently above them in the table.

So, to see nothing but a loss doesn't make any logical sense.

I guess PaulWinch again doesn't understand logic.

[Dave]

We've also lost the vast majority of games that we've played after a Champions League match this season.
