Less sideways and backwards passing,higher workrate and close players down from the off like every team does to us and we will win.

Could be a tough game. They won well last night with Toney bagging another pair. Not sure what the fitness situation is but I’d go with Davies Smith Baath Soutter Fox OB Obi Campbell Powell Brown Fletcher 5 in 5 for Toney after replacing Watkins for a comparative pittance. Makes you wonder how they keep on doing it. They are one of the most publicised users of the statistics that many on here scoff at. They do their scouting on the Internet! It seems to work every season for them. He was scoring 1 in 2 for Peterborough but Brentford would also have been looking at how Peterborough were doing as a team, if they were creating those chances or if he was scoring more than you would expect, where he was scoring from, whether Brentford create the type of chances he scores. Very clinical. For example it's no good signing a player who scores 90% of his goals with headers if you don't play with wingers or fullbacks who can cross. Sound familiar?

Just read they’re having fans in the stadium watching on a screen but drawing the curtains so they can’t see the actual game, have I missed something 🤷♂️

Next two games will see if we can mix it with stringer teams , I fancy they will show our rightful position is between 15th and 10th with downward pressure more likely than up unless he changes the formation risk8n* more defeats some heavy for more wins

Davies Collins Souttar Chester Smith Mikel Thompson McClean Campbell Fletcher Brown Not sure Powell injures is linked to McLean and brown but certainly those two give more going forwards For me he has to change to get McLean in a forward Role

Sounded like MON was worried about overplaying the wing-backs in his press conference, so was looking to rotate there. Don't know whether he'd risk Brown at RWB today though. But maybe Brown Mikel Thompson Tymon Campbell Fletcher McClean is possible. Think I'd guess we'd go with McClean at LWB and Brown ahead of him if milton is right about the XI though

With Toney on fire whichever 3 cbs he picks will really need to be on their mettle. I personally don’t think changing the back line is conducive to stability. We do have a habit of switching off and they will certainly punish us if that happens. They have to be a good bet to go up this time. I’d like a win but a draw would be decent Back in the day, Smithy or Brito would have just said to Toney, come anywhere near our goal and we’ll break your legs........now fuck off southern softie.

I’d go for the ever popular 5-3-2 / 5-4-1-1 on this one. 3 at the back to try limit Toney, defensive WV’s to try and cut out the nippy wingers, they got some decent cm’s and Daalsgard at the back that can whack em from afar.
Davies Smith/ Souttar/ Chester / Collins / Tymon(or fox?) Mikel ToB / Clucas Smith(Ty) / Fletcher

Unless we try something different I'm not hopeful about today.

Think it could be: Davies
Collins Souttar Chester
Smith Obi Thompson Tymon
Campbell Fletcher McClean
Our vulnerability tends to come largely from the opposition moving the ball quickly across field and down our LHS. I'd like to see McClean given greater attacking responsibility with the option to switch flanks or ring the changes with Campbell - with Tymon playing a bit deeper to assist Chester.

GGOOAAARRNN STOKE That's the key, get at them from the first second, take the game to them and make THEM do the defending and hard work. Fitness fitness, fitness, don't stop.

On paper, the idea of Fletcher with Brown and Campbell either side of him does sound quite attractive.
Especially if we're going to be largely playing on the break.
Last season we had 30% of the ball at home against them, and were outshot 14-6.

Hope you don`t mind just done quick edit.
