BHA v Brentford

[severnside gull]

Interesting reading the Brentford fans' forum. They reckon that despite cup heroics, in the league they are a one trick pony with tactics limited to passing sideways and then lumping it out to the wings. Double up on the wingers and they feel that they are buggered. They complain of the lack of a creative central midfielder (sounds familiar) with pretty much everything going wide.

Apparently Andy Scott dismisses the idea of "tippy tappy football" - he seems to think that if they get it wide and then get the crosses in they will win more often than not as, to date (in his view) they have been the better team despite drawing/losing most of their games. Seems his hat may be on a shaky nail if results don't improve soon!

Forster out, Simpson injured, Cort (when he plays) preferring to play off a central striker rather than attack the ball............

Seems like tactics we are well equipped to deal with so I am going for a 2-0

Can't see the 6-0 option.

 

[KneeOn]

3-0

 

[Steve Foster]

I have also gone for 3-0.
Seems a very popular score!

As for the crowd>

There are currently 517 seats free in East stand, 5 South A, 4 South B, 7 South H, 149 South J. So assuming the 682 do not sell (hopefully we will sell a few more between now & tomorrow), the capacity of 8,850 falls too 8,168.

That very small stand - we do not sell tickets unless every where else is full up. Holds about 60, so lets say 8,100 now.

Brentford, say will bring 300, leaving 500 spare places in the away end & reducing the crowd to 7,600.

Approx 5% of ticket holders don't turn up (holiday, not well etc), so as it stands that would bring the crowd to 7,220.

Went for the 1-2 to Brentford option. Last 6 Albion games I’ve attended over the last 6 years have ended in us losing and I’m going tomorrow, please god, let this awful losing streak come to an end. Pleaseeeeeeee!

 

[fire&skill]

i'm with you on this one. if we take the chances we create pretty much every game, we're going to run up a 5 or a 6 nil victory pretty soon. could have easily scored 6 on saturday.

Yes - I agree with you both but don't know how to multiquote

We're due a big one soon - phnarr phnarr

[Seagulls4life]

[chinners]

it will b tough we r the team to beat at the mo but i think we will edge it

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

I kinda think someone is going to get taken outside and given a seriously good spanking and I think Brentford could be that someone. Charlton was the last time I saw us give a team of any note in the same division a good tonking and that was in the 80s

 

[hola gus]

2-1 win. Murray, Lua Lua. Have to say im not as confident about winning at Tranmere though, never do well there.

 

[Perkino]

3-0 to the seagulls

 

[The Wizard]

4-0

Barnes x3 + Muz

 

[Peppermint Tea]

They'll put 11 behind the ball, bite ankles, run around like nutters frothing from the mouth. But our tippy tappy skills will knacker them and they'll make a defensive mistake in the 69th minute when Benny will produce a perfect cross for a simple Barnesy tap in. After that the shop shuts. So 1-0. Good enough, thank you.

 

[Art Vs Science]

Bang the money on 1-1. Tired but effective Albion get hard earned draw

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

2 - 0 Albion win.

 

[cannedheat]

Brentford are one of our sticky bogey sides, keep em crossed.
