[Archived] Brentford Away 19.03.2016

[Doug]

Yeah me too. All I ask is when they come off that pitch they've nothing else left to give. If they can't do that then they're cheating the fans and they're cheating themselves. Lack of technical ability is forgivable, lack of effort isn't.

TBH, that's how I've always seen it.

100% - anything less is unacceptable.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Right,money on the table folks....

0-2 Rovers and a respectable performance from players who give a toss.

Brentford are not a good side.

A loss and this thread is going to turn unpleasant.

Hmmm, tricky one. On paper I think we should edge it, but we can't seem to buy a win on the road. I'm hoping for a reaction after the last couple of games and I can see goals. I predict there'll be some goals in this game.

[Al]

It's hard to make a prediction as with this manager you never know what team he is going to put out. With the international break coming up I can see no reason not to play our strongest line up. If we do we should get 3 points, provided Danny Graham is fit.

[chaddyrovers]

ROVERS: Steele, Marshall, Duffy, Hanley ©, Spurr, Bennett, Lenihan, Akpan, Conway, J. Gomez, Graham.

Subs: Raya (GK), Kilgallon, Watt, Brown, Ward, Grimes, Jackson.

[davulsukur]

We thinking that's more of a 4-2-3-1?

Would prefer Watt to Conway but can't be too critical of this team. COYB!

[K-Hod]

Looks as though we're going for width with Bennett and Conway out wide? That's my guess in any case!

Graham up top solo. Didn't mind the diamond, but I suppose you've got to be adaptable for different games!

Akpan...

Teams fair enough, get our noses in front today and I think we'll be ok.

[Al]

Akpan...

Who then?

. My take on it also , I think this team looks solid but also retains an attacking threat , think Lambert feels we could surrender a lot of possession in this game ,as Brentford keep the ball well , and will hope to attack on the counter

[oldjamfan1]

Glad Graham is fit again, to say the least!!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Probably our best side really. One or two owe us a performance today. Come on Rovers, put a smile on my face for once. Two centre halves on the bench is a bit odd, I wonder if one of the first choice lads is carrying an injury ?

[roversfan99]

Who then?

Anyone. From the squad, Grimes or Gomez with Watt moving off Graham.

[Mike Graham]

PL as right to play a weakened side at Ipswich. This is a more winnable game.....on paper :-(

[Al]

Anyone. From the squad, Grimes or Gomez with Watt moving off Graham.

It's my opinion that Akpan and Lenihan are defensive midfielders. None of the ones you suggest can play that game. I'm no Akpan fan but I don't see the alternative.

[chaddyrovers]

But neither of them are Defensive mids are them really?

Lambert is looking to play 2 dms then its got to those 2. Grimes isn't much of a tackling type of player.

Very pleased that Graham is Back fit and starting.

I'm going for 2 nil Rovers win with Graham scoring 1st. (50/1 odds with Sky Bet is that scorecast)

I think I said similar. Glad we agree on that Chaddy.

Thats a first eh. Haha but very wlecome.

I wonder if we will look to play on the counter attack with Bennett, Gomez and Conway behind Graham

0-0 Written all over it.

[chaddyrovers]

We have 3 strikers on bench.

Do feel we need a winger need on the bench.

Looking like 4-2-3-1 formation from the start and possibly 4-4-2 or 4-1-2-1-2 as plan B

[Oldgregg86]

Chris Taylor scored 2 minutes into his mill wall debut

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

League one is Taylors level.

[AJW]

Not much going on then ???
