Anyone going to the game; is there a particular pub everyone is going to?

Brentford have won all their home games, but they've all been against bottom half/out of form teams. We should not be over defensive, imo.

Can anyone tell me what Faes actually has to do to get dropped? Must have been taking lessons from Rudkin.

Today's game has an air of a Sadler/Stowell moment for me.  Although perhaps psychologically Ruud can influence the game from wherever he is watching it.

Luke Thomas is starting!

We only have two left backs and Thomas is the better footballer imo. Better passer, quicker, but still not good enough sadly.

[Ric Flair]

I like 3-4-2-1 but surely that's El Khannouss and Bounanotte together. Suppose that can happen off the bench.

 

Thomas in is a brave call 😂

Luke Thomas has a phobia of playing football – he always looks terrified

[Leicesterpool]

0-3 hammering coming i fear. With the management team in charge got no confidence. Would have been more encouraged if Ruud was in charge today.

Thomas definitely ain’t the answer, and I’m not even sure what the question is.

 

If he’s marking Mbeumo today. 

Consider middlesbrough had the chance to buy him in the summer after his loan spell there says it all.

[mo-rima]

Hermansen, Justin, Coady, Faes, Okoli, Thomas 🤯
Soumare, Ndidi
Facundo, Ayew
Vardy

Through no other logic other than the players wanting to impress Ruud, I'm feeling worringly optimistic about this one....

Me too. But I'll always have the worry deep down somewhere.

It's a good job we're not in that bracket 😜

I mean we are one of those teams

Players need to put a shift in, hopefully the rocket from Top will motivate them.

Someone wanted Cooper out, didn’t he?

[StevieH]

At the moment we just don't have the energy to press especially with our midfield. Winks, Ndidi, Skipp and Mavididi just don't press or only 1 or 2 do it which is a waste of time. We miss the energy of KDH. We therefore end up sitting back and inviting pressure.

Luke Thomas. For god sake. Absolutely useless last year at Shef United and Middlesbrough but somehow gets in our side. VK has been poor recently but still offers miles more than Thomas.

VK has looked like one of our better players in my opinion.

[Pliskin]

Hold on, Luke Thomas is having to mark Mbeumo?
