Pressure back on us tomorrow after those results. Any kind of win will do but I'm confident our new/old boys are going to do the business.
If you are at the top end you have to keep winning. Don’t think other results involving top teams affects things, you’d expect them to win and they did.

In a way, it’s also what was expected. There will be weekends like that, we need to do our bit to match it. Our last home game in the league was rubbish, we need to revert to what we’ve been.

Not sure Barkley will feature today but would like to see him Onana and Luiz together with Morgan and Emi2 behind Ollie or Tammy.

It’s going to be very tough, they are functional, dirty and well organised.

Probably say this every game, and it probably applies to every game ever played, but could do with an early nerve settling goal here.

I thought they were nailed on to go down, he's done a great job tbf.

On a Birmingham bound train from Marylebone with my 8 year old lad. Back in my season ticket holding days this would have been a routine visit to VP. Nowadays it feels like a proper treat. I can’t wait. A comfortable win, please.

I hope you can enjoy it and it is that comfortable win. Nothing like the ropey Everton performance please.

Didn't realise it was such a high profile game. The Rozzers are casing the pubs in Town.

Be on your guard lads, Brentford Nylons on the rampage.

En route with my lad.

3 points please. Tempted to match fire in midfield and play Onana Bogarde and Luiz.
