Match Preview;
So next up a trip just down the road to our neighbours, then we have a week, yes a whole week, before our next game. Barring cup ties, this could well be our penultimate trip to Griffin Park as the Bees are set to move to their new stadium for the start of the 2020/2021 season. With a pub on each corner it'll be a sad ground to see go, however, having been to Griffin Park a number of times, it is not a surprise they are moving to somewhere bigger and more modern.

They've been doing ok this year, and now sit one point and one place above us, with three wins and two losses from their past five. Neal Maupay has netted 19 times for them this year and so we'll need to watch out for him on Saturday. I must confess, growing up in West London I always considered Brentford our lesser neighbour, but giving them that label would be unfair at the moment. They seem a well run club heading in the right direction.

As for us, I, like many others, was pleasantly surprised by a very good display and fantastic win on Tuesday. If we continue that level of performance I have hope we could register a good win on Saturday, but maintaining that level is not easily done. Hope has been rekindled though.

I'll post team news/further preview when on the official, but enjoy those who are going and...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

 

When did we last win there? Was it Bircham's goal? I feel ,after Tuesday, we could win this one.

 

Good memory there Stan...

If we play with just 75% of Tuesday's grit, we should win. Of course they are on the back of a 5:1 win over Hull.

 

Thank God, another game, I was getting withdrawal symptoms.

 

Hemed and Wells up front please
Give Eze a rest for 65 minutes

 

I'd rather we didn't go back to 4-4-2.

 

Well worth another look, something like that Saturday would go down a treat...

Thank you Dave for taking the time out to post these top quality match threads mate

It's most appreciated, especially the ones where we sometimes win

Up the Rangers

So far
Two people like the overdressed supporter

Five people like the slightly under dressed supporter
Maybe Dave needs to add a poll
That's right greg
Poll not pole

 

very nice kiwi & one of your best

 

Sorry what are we talking about.....just a tad distracted

 

Anyone else going tomorrow? Managed to scrounge myself one ticket. Any pub recommendations?

 

How many are we taking, anyone know?

 

Sold out our allocation of 1500 I believe...….

 

Away end holds about 1600. We always have a few more dotted around but they’re a bit paranoid these days so it’s harder.
