Erimus 63 478 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 A draw looks likely, with us being one of the divisions draw specialists. Link to post Share on other sites

Old Codger 3,039 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 With the arrival of Big Harold, the recovery of Coulson from illness and Shotton from injury, it is faintly possible that we will be able to field a team of players that are in their "natural" positions..defenders in the defence and midfielders in the midfield...this may allow our forwards to be able to get the ball near the box rather than continually track back to halfway line or try to beat two or three men cutting in from the wing...if we can keep them out for the first 15-20 minutes, we could come away with something, if not, then treat it as a damage limitation game and get through it without injuries, cards and shipping a boatload of goals...Brentford are one of the best teams in the league and we are a team that has hardly been able to field our best side all season, so I will take whatever we can get this side of a thrashing...we have a decent run of fixtures coming up that could see us in a fairly safe position by the end of the month, so if we can't win, we should try not to lose our draw(er)s 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) It would be heroic to predict anything but a Brentford win. I think Woody will continue as normal, so we may well see the introduction of strikers once we are a goal down. Not sure why we don’t go out and try to win games instead of trying not to lose. Should a portion of the many draws we have, been converted to wins, we may well have been up in the top half. The teams just needs a bit more ambition, tweaking and a bit of luck to start turning draws to wins and I am still convinced we are good enough for 12th place finish.

ThisIzLeon 31 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Heading up from the Brighton area for this one. I am hoping for an exciting game which we can nick something from. 2-1 to the mighty Boro. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,331 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I have a feeling we'll get hammered here. Brentford are scoring goals for fun. I'm going for 3-0 brentford Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Pears Shotton, Moukoudi, Fry, Coulson Paddy, Howson, Saville Nmecha, Fletcher, Johnson Wing and Tav need a rest, I think. Shotton will do a decent Job at RB again. Paddy and Howson back in the midfield anc can still help out in defense when Brentford have the ball. Then I would later try Rav and Britt from the bench and big Rudy as a joker for the last 15 minutes if needed. Link to post Share on other sites
