Somewhat disappointingly, and to my surprise, the bookies have them as favourites for the win.

Given we're 8th, 5 points ahead of them and we are at home, can anyone explain that to me?

I guess that they have “factored in” our televised under the lights performance record?

Brentford are often faves against teams above them, even away. They were narrow faves at Swansea and Forest recently (lost at Forest who were in form and 2/1).

If both teams play to their max they win. No shame in that. They have more sublime players for this level than us.

In general we are a good team to back though. If you’d put a tenner on every team this season every game we’re one of the most profitable in the country which suggests we’re perhaps a tad underrated.

Prefer to be the underdog. Not pressure on the team, everyone had us down as relegation fodder this year so let the Bees be the favs. I may yet have a bet on Brentford to win this as I have a terrible reputation for not backing football winners at the bookies...when I say terrible, I haven't won one yet and I am at an age when the law of averages suggests that I should have won at least one by now. Might explain why the bookies are always pleased to see me :-)

It's a bank holiday here today although still have to do some work....the joys of self employment...

I just hope we do ourselves justice tonight and show what a decent side we are...

Wonder if Warbles will go 352 which seems to suit us as it gets both Eze & chair central and allows the wing backs to get forward......as Hugill is suspended get Bos in to run at their full backs....

Any news on hall? Is he still injured?

Hall is not injured still ...he has been playing in the u23.
Both Barbet and Cameron are on 4 yellow cards. I wonder if there is a touch of conservatism in the fact he is being slightly held back until he has to play...
