srsmithusa Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 they'll park the bus and try to beat us with speed on the counter. newcastle showed that trying to high pressure Emery's Villa doesn't work. Brentford will try the opposite. I don't think they will succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermon Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Can you imagine Kamara, Cash and Coutinho all on the bench for this game.....ooof!! To think we've played this well without these is just bliss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Apparently they played pretty well yesterday despite the score line. Would be foolish to underestimate them, especially as they may want to put right the 4-0 from earlier in the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we score its game over, they have to attack and we will play through them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Since that long unbeaten run they had, they’re now with just 1 win in their last 7, losing the last 3 on the spin. The way we’re playing, you’d have to fancy us. Still a tricky game, they impress me whenever I watch them. Ollie Watkins, with 11 in 12, will be looking to score for a 7th away game in a row against his former club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretVillaScout Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Brentford are actually the bookies favourite to win this game. Brentford have had a higher xG than both of their last two opponents(Newcastle & Wolves) . They lost both games.

maqroll Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 This could be tricky but they have seemingly started to run out of steam. 0-2 Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest they looked pretty unlucky against Wolves, there was more than a hint of good fortune about both Wolves' goals and Brentford had some good chances of their own. They do look a bit leggy and clearly their form isn't great, but we have a horrible record away against them and Toney and Mbeumo can cause any team problems on their day. We'll need to be at our best, but it's hard not to be optimistic about our chances in any game at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could mean they were unlucky, but when it happens twice it could also be that they’re not very good. The xG number just say how many goals would have been scored if the attacker is of average quality against a defence/goalkeeper of average quality. That is why Haaland have scored 32 league goals this season, while his xG is 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Toney must be on the quiet still placing bets as how would Brentford be priced favourites given the respective forms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna stick a cheeky tenner on us, I'll be shocked if a tired Brentford cause us any real problems, especially seeing how we just dispatched Newcastle.

It's a protection mechanism, I do it, prepare yourself for the worst so anything else is a fantastic bonus! Therefore, we'll lose Saturday...
