BearSmog 1,382 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 BRENTFORD v MIDDLESBROUGH. Introduction The transfer window is done and dusted, with 5 incomings during January and only 1 major departure. In a shock turn of events most Boro fans actually seem happy with the clubs recruitment. Neither of our deadline signings featured in the 1-1 draw with Blackburn, which extended our winless run to 6 games. This run has come after a big upturn in form over Christmas leaving most fans confused over how to feel about our prospects for the rest of the season. Saturdays opponents Brentford are in a rich vein of form and are right in the mix for automatic promotion, largely due to their 'BMW' attacking trio. Meanwhile, Boro's attack.. We should be up against it this weekend, but performances have been improving and there is a chance we could get something from this game.. Maybe.. Possibly.. BearNews Controversial new signing Ravel Morrison rocks up for his training session Some of our current first team members react The clubs medical team are working around the clock to get Patrick Roberts fit asap Shotton and Gestede remain at the club, to the joy of most fans.. The Big Questions. Will we see Moukoudi and Morrison for this fixture? If Brentford's front three is a 'BMW', what car best describes our attackers? How much do we miss Patrick Roberts? How would you line up for this match? Back 4? Or 3 with wing backs? BearPrediction Brentford 3-1 Boro I can't see us getting the win here, Brentford are gunning for the autos and will see us as a great opportunity to get three points. What do you think? Bear out.. 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,403 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 It's a big month for us with the upcoming relegation matches, but I fear Brentford will prove too much for us. They're fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Strong gif game, I like it! We'll lose this to continue our MOTM curse, just hope we don't get steamrolled like we did against Leeds. Or Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,440 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Excellent post @BearSmog. Great use of GIFs. I would stick with the 3.4.3 but hopefully Moukoudi match fit to start so paddy can move further forward. Pears Howson Moukoudi Fry Spence Paddy Clayton Wing Coulson Fletcher Rudy/Nmecha I know i might get slated for starting Rudy/Nmecha but i dont think we will see much of the ball at griffin park and this game might require more a classic away type performance. Hoping one of them can be that outlet for when we do have ball. Tav has looked tired for me last few games so not sure if he just needs to keep out the firing line a little bit. I would start clayton to give us that extra protection against Brentfords free flowing attack and Paddy n Wing to push on when we attack. I rather stupidity think we can get a result on our final visit to griffin park. It has been a happy hunting ground for us since brentford came up to championship i believe. I am going to go for an entertaining 2-2 but would not be hugely surprised if we got a "smash n grab" style victory 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Quite agree, although we have drawn far too many games this season as of now I will gladly settle for a point. Worrying aspect is that we know that the busy bees will be out to sting us very early!

With that in mind I'm gonna stump for a 3-1 win to the Boro.
