Will b11 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Unchanged team I would go for personally - Bentley , Hunt , Kalas , Williams , Dasilva , Watkins , Brownhill , Nagy , Eliasson , Weimann , Diedhiou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lez Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Worry about midfield 2 against brentford.....can see them cutting through us far too easy. Wouldn't surprise me if we go 352 and treat it like an away game with Paterson in the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think the back four are set in stone (may add Moore if a back five), same for the front two. Maybe a change or two in central midfield where all the mileage is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy if Watkins starts as thought he did well and gave us an aerial threat If LJ goes 352 then we could have Smith, Massengo & Brownhill in midfield I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would stay 442, and let them worry about Eliasson and Watkins. I posted my reasons elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 We say all the time let teams worry about us. Same team same approach for me. We lose 4-2 all good for me if we have intent. Can make a case for rotating 1 or 2 but who? Korey for me is done. Maybe he starts and plays a blinder but I need to see a good game to get back to thinking he can contribute. Maybe Massengo for Nagy Brentford don’t have the largest midfield so think Massengo could compete. You could match them but means dropping Fam or Weimann which I am not keen on. So yea all in all I go same team and try to cause same problems we did Luton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Would be madness to play the same team again. Brentford pose unique problems that need to be countered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I’d say keep the same team. Formation worked well against Fulham. Maybe a centre mid for Watkins (Brownhill to RM) but he was class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 The only change that’s a possibly is midfield. Smith in for Nagy simply to add some physicality but we don’t know if everyone has recovered fully from the Luton game given the relatively short turn around. The defence picks itself as do Weimann and Famara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 For me Id love to see LJ Put A fresh Massengo and Moore into the team , I think it would be ideal to have Massengo in a midfield 3 yes i know we are home I think we can be as creative aslong as weimann,Eliasson,Hunt and Dasilva start! With Moore playing it out from the back or no moore and 4 3 3 formation. So it could either be 3-5-1-1 Weimann Eliasson Dasilva Massengo nagy brownhil Hunt Williams kalas Moore Bentley Or 4-3-3 Eliasson-Fam -Weimann Massengo brownhil nagy Dasilva baker williams Hunt Bentley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I'd play...think we need to be more physical against Brentford. They don't like it up em so to speak. Maybe Smith in centre.

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 On balance, same side but with modified tactics. By which I mean more counterattacking, yet with a strong press (medium to high line), and when I say counterattacking I don't mean defensive but positive without the ball. Possession if we do this wouldn't be a huge priority..would be quite stupid to try and outpossess etc with this team IMO. When I say medium to high press, put the squeeze on when they come into midfield yet throw in occasional bursts of high pressure as and when- see the goal that settled their game v Millwall as a good example! I'm all for playing out from the back but that was a nonsense! A gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Why not just play Eliasson. I really don't get it. Brentford don't leave out that quality winger they have for games against tough opponents do they? Eliasson is unplayable. Bloody start him LJ. Even if we play 352. He clearly looks quality in any attacking area of the pitch, he's a level above the attacking players we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the same team and go for it. Yes, Brentford is a tough game but they're hardly invincible, and because they'll play and not sit it should suit our counter attack style.

bcfc01 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Brentford have lost the most away games in the top half of the Championship (7) - not a great away record by any means. Six of those by one goal. Watkins and Mbeumo have scored 65% of their goals. Keep it tight and get all over Watkins and Mbeumo and jobs a good 'un.

By go for it, could you define? Do you mean go for it attacking wise, do you mean go for it in terms of a basketball game- ie we attack, you attack, try and dominate the ball- could you be a bit more specific in the ideal tactical blueprint? Worth noting as well that only 40-45% of Championship games have resulted in a home win this season. @bcfc01 Feels like a possible draw tomorrow to me, but the 7 away losses gives hope...they've won 5, drawn 1 and lost 7...conceded a shade under a goal a game on the road though!

wendyredredrobin Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Whilst tempting to stick with a winning team, we need at least 5 in the middle of the park tomorrow, so I'm pretty sure Lee will go with a 3 5 1 1 formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford like to play out from the back and can be caught out as Millwall showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're fine with that then I'm inclined. High press? I'd use more sparingly personally however a good weapon, the medium press though, yeah 100%...but the goal they conceded to Millwall, yes credit where it's due but that was a gift- I doubt they'll piss about to that extent again! Just watched some highlights, my assertion was a bit damning but still Brentford were somewhat culpable in it! On a general note, I feel we don't sufficently press, regardless of opposition.

They seem to be a boom or bust side away from home. Hope its bust tomorrow but, like you, I think a draw is on the cards. Given the ridiculous odds for a City win though, I'll be having a few quid on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
