Brentford Nylon Match Thread

I got it right for the Stoke game (feckin miles out) so here goes again....
Ward
Ricardo
Amartey
Soyuncu
Thomas
Mendy (if injured Choudhury)
Under
Tavares
Perez (see Vardy swap for Maddison)
Barnes
Vardy (if injured Perez)
 
Adumass -
It'll be his first FA Cup booking, I guess.
If he gets booked v Everton, he'll have 5 of the 10 bookings before week 32 ( I think it is) that would lead to a 2 game ban...
 
OK thanks.
Makes sense that they've separated the competitions...always seemed unfair you could play in every round of a cup tournament but miss the final if you were sent off preceding league game.
 
New rules were brought in 2019/20 season which mean changes across many areas including the yellow and red card system.

In the past, yellow cards picked up in the Premier League, football leagues, FA Cup or Carabao Cup would be added up together.

This meant that five yellow cards across all competitions would result in a player missing one match - in whichever competition they should have been playing in next.

However, the changes in 2019/20 saw yellow cards only counting in the competition they are received.

Red cards will continue to count across all competitions.

Ah, didn't know about the reds thanks.
What a shame – I was hoping to see Toney versus our defence on Sunday...

Indeed, he looks a good young player.

As an ex Brentford resident and 'occasional regular' in 'The Griffin' I watch Brentford with interest. He has been impressive this season.

If Mendy is fit, play him alongside Choudhury, play Tielemens further forward (for Perez) and play Perez up top instead on Nacho.

Never play Nacho.

& never play choudhury & mendy together or ndidi & mendy or ndidi & choudhury.
Detrimental to our team to play 2 dm’s.
Only teams who have no players who can create things play 2 dm’s

Don't want to see Iheanacho play but equally 2 dm's doen't work for us.
Wasn't Amartey bought to replace Kante? Dons tin hat. So important that we get someone in to fill the Praet sized hole. Can we get Andy King back on loan? :whistle:
 
Amartey arrived in Jan 16, presumably before anyone knew just how quickly Kante wanted to fuck off

Amartey was brought as a centre back but we played him in midfield or right back.
 
I really hope the game goes ahead. Forecast looks awful. Snow from 0900. Carrying on until 5.00pm. It’s certainly cold enough.

Don't think so. Having filled a variety of positions for Copenhagen he was bought as utility cover, but mainly for Danny Simpson after Ritchie De Laet was loaned out.

BLUE ARMY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just been on t’interweb and their stadium has under soil heating. Whether the boiler has been commissioned yet (remember Cardiff away?) I have no idea. The factor of the streets being covered in snow and a game being called off as it’s unsafe for supporters is obviously removed.

Well I live about 20 miles directly west of Brentford. It’s at least 3cm already and still coming down. Chelsea at 1200 will give us a good hint.
 
Alan Freeman has just been out to inspect the Nylon’s pitch. The bit that tucks in near the away end corner flags needs a bit of ironing apparently. Not the other ‘arf, though.
