Brentford v Aston Villa Pre Match Thread.

I'm assuming Brentford still have a load of 7 foot tall mutants at the back. I'd definitely be leaving Onana in. I suspect the team will be much the same as last week but with Martinez back and a question of how we replace Konsa. If we can, hopefully, avoid any more red cards, we have more options to change it if it isn't going well.

There's no reason we shouldn't bully Brentford this weekend, I'm going 3-1 to the good.

A must-win which we should, even if it's not pretty. 2-1 to us, Asensio and Jackson.

4 points from our first 2 games is the minimum we should be getting. If it comes through a win in game 2 versus the other way around so be it. Brentford are not very good and we need to take full advantage. I hope we don't play with any kind of conservative or negative intent.

They are desperate, it’s always a battle so expect them to give us a good kicking.
Hope the ref is strong enough and our players know what is coming and are prepared for it.

1-4

Any kind of win will do. Tielemans back in midfield will be crucial.

Hate playing Brentford, especially away. Niggley bunch of f**kers.

Ben Mee and Mapauy spring to mind

I've still got PTSD from the two consecutive midweek humpings at Griffin Road in the second division. Horrible. At least I was only three bus stops from home.

And Nathan Collins....came on as sub at their place last season, with about 15 minutes to go, clearly with instructions to kick the feck out of our midfielders. Ref eventually booked him in added time after his 8th foul. And I don't think he touched the ball more than twice.
Deano had them playing some great stuff in Div 2.
