VILLAMARV Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I suppose we'll find out if he thinks this is our first team or not (The one out at Ipswich I mean) About time we put a decent showing in against Brentford regardless of the result tbh. Not overly confident going into this one if I'm honest. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The bogey who we never play well against. Was expecting us to drop points in this one bit after dropping two against Ipswich we can't afford to. If we play as poorly as yesterday brentford will beat us. Time to start playing against Brentford now ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 0-2 loss theyll dance around our centre back at right back, right back at left back and aged defensive midfielder at centre back. thats not even mentioning our new keeper...... meanwhile our hoof and hope ‘attacking’ tactic will be easily dealt with. (not overly positive about this match if you hadn’t noticed) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2018 Please if we are going to keep with the Jedi as cb thing just play a regular right back, stop trying to shoehorn other players in. Whelan needs to play in the dm role too till things settle defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2018 The good news about this game is that we will only have to play them once more this league campaign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I think we'll see a few changes for this, a bit of rotation and I'm just hoping Bruce gets it right with who he takes out and who comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2018 I can see changes for this game. I think Jedinak will be dropped for someone more mobile, with either Elphick or Tuanzebe partnering Chester. Whelan will come back in too I reckon. He cant keep persisting with Adomah can he? Hopefully Green comes in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I think we will mix it up a little. I am going with a 4-3-2-1 go! formation and I think we may line up close to this: Nyland Tuanzebe Chester Hourihane Kodja Elphick McGinn Hepburn-Murphy Hutton Grealish Whelan. I am going 7-0 Villa and it will be a case of why all the Hysteria before hand as if nothing has happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Its a winnable game, Brentford will be in the 5-10th range, probably the same as us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to Steve Bruce, who has spent every game against them making us camp in our own half and letting them pop the ball about for fun. I hope this one is different, I really do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) I **** hate playing Brentford. Admittedly, by far the worst games against them have been the away games, but Bruceball is totally ineffective against them, even more so than other teams.

alreadyexists Posted August 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2018 This is one where I think we need to dominate the midfield, I would go: Moreira RDL Tuanzebe Chester Hutton Elmo McGinn Hourihane Adomah Grealish Kodjia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa82 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Not a formation I like, but we don't have in form wingers, and Brentford always outplay us in midfield. if both Grealish and Hourihane plays I want Hourihane behind the striker. Nyland Elmo Chester Tunazebe Hutton Jedinak Bjarni Grealish. McGinn Hourihane Kodjia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) I'm worried about this game but on the other hand, looking on the bright side at least Bruce will have dusted himself down, he is good at dusting, you've got to admit, and he'll have got the players to dust themselves down too. So at least we won't be dusty. Edited August 19, 2018 by robby b 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yeah he is hoping Brucey does his squad rotation thing again and accidentally picks the correct side. I would go Neyer, Axel, Chester, Hutton and De Leat, with Whlean as the anchor, with McGinn, Grealish, Hourihane and Kodja and RHM up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 For all the trouble Brentford have given us at Griffin Park, we haven't been as horrible at home. Two draws in the past two seasons (1-1 & 0-0). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 That 0-0 last season was another one we got away with, outplayed and stole a point. A routine victory for Brentford yesterday over Wednesday; watch these highlights http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/championship/11476984/brentford-2-0-sheffield-wed they got in about 10 times, they are very consistent thesedays, outplayed Stoke and battered Rotherham in their other league games so far. Hoping our big players step up and can make a difference in front of the VP faithful. Will need big games from Grealish, McGinn and Kodj. Gonna be positive and go for a 0-0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
