Jacki Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'm heading to the game after work tonight and can't wait. It's my first game of the season so I'm particularly looking forward to it. In terms of predictions, I have absolutely no idea what to expect tonight. The last 2 games I've seen were Brighton away where I expected us to get hammered, and Brum at home where I expected us to win. What I do know is that I'd happily get out of there with a point.

tinman85 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Head to South Ealing guys. 15 min walk from there. Avoid Waterloo. You won't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Our defence is still as secure as a house of cards in a hurricane away from home so however good we look going forward can't see us getting anything until we've sorted it out, 3-1 defeat I predict although of course I hope I'm wrong.

Garland-sweden Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Its time to take the first awaywin in the leauge this season. It wont gonna be easy but thinkz we gonna win 2-1. Come on City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkRed! Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Not got a good recent record against Brentford. Really we need to pick up something after the poor (but unlucky) defeat to Brum. I dont think we can really change the team too much and he will keep the same 11 as started at Brum unless Bryan is out injured. Brentford have started poorly so this may be the best time to play them. I can see goals and would go for 3 - 2 City win. We just need to replicate that 1st half at Brum and cut out those individual and sloppy mistakes. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I see this as quite a big game, another defeat on the road and it's going to start to feel the same old story as last season. We need to get the away form up and running. Don't see why tonight can't be start of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so will be great if that continues. This season, correct. I didn't do the Brum game. I also did the friendlies of pre-season including the defeat at Torquay but LJ played the kids so he knew it was going to be a wash out... 42 minutes ago, Flint says No said: My gut feeling is @Septic Peg has locked @havanatopia in her cupboard like @Dollymarie has done with Flint I can 100% assure you that if Hav is in a locked cupboard, it is not mine as we are on different continents!

Leveller Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Stop press - sources on the interweb suggest the fourth corner pub (the Royal Oak) has very recently reopened.

Red white and red Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Unfortunately I can see the same thing as Saturday happening again. We fly out and score within the first 5-10 minutes, fail to take any more chances and Brentford come from behind to win by the odd goal. 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Any team predictions for tonight? Will we try to counter the fact that Brentford normally have 60% of the ball at home? McAllister alluded to changes and I think that has to be the case to ensure freshness for Saturday in a very winnable game. 4-5-1 I reckon with Reid either deeper than usual in a three man midfield or wide on left or right wing.

BCFC Grim Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Freshness? We are two ( Plymouth we made a host of changes) into a season? Players should just be getting their fitness fully back, not in need of a bloody rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be something like this, with Eliasson starting but with less defensive responsibilities. 4-2-3-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 The question is: when Bobby Reid scores the first goal (inevitable), will Brentford start feeling the pressure? They've not had a good start to the season and the fans could turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 It's amazing what difference the result tonight can make to how our start to the season is perceived. Win and it will have been a very solid start, averaging 2 points per game (title form usually, over a season) Draw and it will be a decent start, 4 points from 3 games, with 2 of them being away. Lose and it's not a great start (ignoring performances), we'll only be averaging 1 point per game and already playing catch up if we aspire to a top half finish. Almost hanging on our home form as away form continues to be a problem. Of course, nothing is decided on tonight's result, but it's around now where each teams start to the season begins to take shape. Teams up the top will falter and teams at the bottom will come good, but it would be great to get as many points on the board as possible during this early season period.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think we'll get a well earned point tonight. We should start well, but whether we will keep up the high pressing, tempo, attacking quality football after half time- perhaps after an hour, remains to be seen. I know Brentford have started poorly but our record there isn't great- maybe one point can become three if LJ changes the shape and is proactive if or when the momentum starts to shift. A point would be steady I reckon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
