Fab is OBSESSED with processes!

Wonder if Brentford will test our sieve of a defence in the first minute of play. Not seen that from them in a while.
That was a bit of a quirk, although we have scored quickly following opposition goals since. All the same, glad I witnessed two of the 3 first minute goals in person!
The mood for this evening is generally subdued amongst Bees fans, a mixture of our tough time on the road this season and yet another injury "crisis". It's most noticeable in defence, as shown in the list below, but players like Jensen and Thiago are also big misses for us.
Rico Henry
Aaron Hickey
Kristoffer Ajer
Ethan Pinnock
Sepp van den Berg
Mathias Jensen
Igor Thiago
Josh Dasilva
Gustavo Nunes

If you want to play any team to reverse a poor run of form it's us. You're welcome.

I think this is the first 'must win' of the season.
Next up....
Villa away = we never get a thing there.
Arsenal home = tough.
If we don't get 3 points tonight then we could easily be looking at 8 games without a win, which would leave European ambition in tatters and mounting pressure on Fab and the team.
This is nothing like 2018 though when we picked up about 5 points out of 45, back then our form and general play was dire, we're playing OK, in fact more than OK in spells. I'm still not really sure how we failed to beat WHU last weekend.

Good track record against the Bees, and their away performance this season has been poor, but I'm feeling anxious about this one. We've wasted this run of 'easier' fixtures, and Villa and Arsenal are next. Tonight matters. We need turn it around, or I see us well into the bottom half of the table very shortly.

The TalkSport advert with Jeff Stelling has us KO at 8:15. They've been playing this all day yesterday and this morning.

That's the KO for getting half time pints and pies.
Feels like both sets of fans have similar expectations. Without Veltman and Welbeck we look and play like an Under 21 team. The latter is out and the former may not last the full 90.

Need a result tonight to get us back in to the play-offs and maintain our dreams of making it to the promised land.
As a side note, since I joined in with this nonsense (v stains) we've not won. If we fail to win tonight, that's my NY resolution sorted

A win tonight puts us back in the race for 6th.
A loss puts Brentford ahead of us, and send us to the bottom half of the table.

Futbulogy has picked out three “on this day” games I’ve been to for me today. All at home, all against London clubs and all won:
Palace in 1980 (W 3-2)
Barnet in 1993 (W 1-0)
QPR in 2016 (W 3-0)

I reckon if we can beat these we could end up with all three points.
