Will be interesting to see how Blackburn approach this game, given the permutations that could happen. I can't see them being too expansive unless the other teams are winning. My guess is they will be defensive to start with and see what the half time scores are before thinking about going for broke. With our attacking flair we are probably not one of the teams they would fancy for this game.

We'll be doing just as you say, our manager has admitted as much. Staying in the game and keeping it tight while trying to nick a goal, but then going for it if we have to. We don't really have the players to take it to the opposition, especially away from home.

Pity that Alan Judge isn't fit enough to make at least a brief cameo appearance against the club which deemed him not good enough.

I don't agree Stanley, I imagine they'll come out all guns blazing and get in our faces as will have done their homework.
We've struggled against teams that press us high and a lot of the worse performances have been against physical, up and at 'em teams.
It worked there so why wouldn't they stick with it?

You could be right. We have done the double over four teams this season, and three have so far done the double over us. Blackburn could be the fourth.

Not strictly true. We played a rigid 4-4-2 at the time with Marshall on one wing and Conway on the other. We also had Josh King in reserve. Marshall and Conway were playing very well. I think we sent you Judge on loan at first when you were in League 1? As he would have struggled to get in our team, and our manager couldn't guarantee him a place, he asked to leave once you'd got promoted. Our manager relented, even though he rated him and he'd brought him up through the youth team and reserves (Bowyer was 10 years our youth coach before he became 1st team manager).

With hindsight it was a massive error of judgement (pardon the pun) but at the time it was perfectly understandable. He'd hardly played a game for our 1st team and when he had he hadn't really shone. It was a great move for him because he moved to a team that better suited his game. I think you were more 4-2-3-1 with him being one of the '3'. I've never really seen him as strictly a wide man expected to do a specific job working up and down the wing, which is how he would have been asked to play had he stayed.

I hope he gets back to his best very soon.

Maybe we could loan him back to get his fitness up in League one?

Does anyone know if the Corner Cafe in Brook Lane north, right by the ground is open tomorrow before the game?

How is the general feeling of Brentford fans for this game? Is it similar to a Villa Scenario where we had Villa fans chanting "We Want You To Win" or more lets get the 3 points and finish the season on a high

Defo finish the game on a high.
But funny we can win and you can stay up

I thought you signed him from Notts County for a fairly big fee? But he couldn't establish himself in the first team (probably for the reasons you describe) and thus he came on loan to us. I'm pretty sure he didn't come up through your youth ranks but doubtless you'll correct me!

Interesting article in today's Telegraph, highlighting all 3 clubs in the mix to go down. All3 have been in the PL at some stage since it started, and all 3 have been 'shafted' by foreign owners, presumably all trying to make a quick buck out of the supposed riches of English football, AND all 3 owners without any notable experience of running any professional football club! These owners also all ignore the advice of those 'in the know' about how English football clubs work.

Compare and contrast with tinpot Brentford, one of the smallest clubs in the Championship, but who has a lifelong fan as an owner, who happens to have made his fortune, and generously keeps the club afloat with a vision that loads of others could do with - just because he wants HIS club to do well!

We have to play a full strength side because I've just been on the phone to Diane Abbott and she says we can still mathematically make the playoffs if we win tomorrow

We got him from Ireland as a teenager. He joined our Academy and was a regular for the reserves. Watched him a few times. He went to Notts County on loan ( somewhere else before that too, can't remember) and then signed for Notts C on a permanent deal. We got him back on a free a few years later. Then he went to you. Think you signed him for £500K and we have a sell-on clause. We might need it when we go bust!

"You need three points. Er, you need 80 points, but that's only in the first year. Um..........you need 300 points".

I want to stuff thrm. Nothing against Blackburn (except they signed my hero O'Mara all those years ago) but don't want to see anyone celebrating on our pitch except us. Think Macca will captain the side tomorrow and will inspire the knackered Bees in his own way for the last time. You Beeeeeeeeessssss!!!!!

Our bitter, less successful neighbours are supporting the team who could send us down. There's a shock;)

Mate, with all due respect,but your "less successful neighbours" are in the Prem.
I understand you guys have been up there, but due to mismanagement (Coyle for one) and ownership, you find yourselves where you are now!
Personally I would like Forest to take the drop, although its a good away day,but living where I do there is a few of the numptys around and they do my head in rapping on about Europe etc!

However, Blackburn town is a sh1te away day,excepting an away weekend in Blackpool and the working mens club opposite your stadium.
I also have a lot of friends in Burnley, I also used to have an office at "The Turf",it's also a good place to have a few :beer: , so I suppose Burnley does hit my buttons a little (forget jug ears).
I am always for the win, so hope Bees beat you, having said that I also hope Ipsh1t do the biz and send Forest down.

Unfortunately due to work commitments and sh1t trains, I can't get there tomoz, have a great day and all fingers crossed for you that Ipshit do you a favour?
One last thing................VENKY'S OUT!!
COYR!

I worry for you that you spent a lot of time at the Dingledome, in amongst the barbarians. That will have an effect in later life. Hairy palms is one of the early signs. So is being attracted to your sister. :nono: Trump's that worried he's having a wall built round Burnley, and he's making and Sean 'Stone Cold' Dyche pay for it. It's gonna be great, as Donald himself said.;)

Hope you have a good day tomorrow too, watching if from wherever. And good luck next season, the play-offs should definitely be the target. :sorted:

Highly unlikely unless both Woods and KK are both unfit. More likely to come on as a late sub to take his well deserved applause.

"Later life" means nothing, there already!....lol
As far as "sisters" go ....not got one.............BUT.....I now live in Naarfuk, so know where you at...lol
Don't worry about me spending lots of time in the "Dingledome"......I said I had an office, I let the dingles run that...........and went "Dingelled"....good times though and cheap :beer: and some decent curry houses!
For my sins I wore the claret at Wembley in the payoffs against Sheffield Utd in 2009....(only went for the hospitality/free hotel/p1ssup)

Like I said mate, have a great day tomoz, the Bees will win, Mick will do you a favour.....(fekin hope so...that's the bet!!)
COYR!...........YOU BEES!

I'm afraid I want Bees to win well and if I had a choice of away games it would be Forest and Birmingham before Blackburn.

She also added we could go down as Brentford Rovers need to overtake Blackburn Forest by 2 goals!

Incredible to think that we could blood in a few youngsters and fringe players in our last game of our third consecutive season in the Championship... Unthinkable prospect a great years ago.. Let's enjoy our day tomorrow..

Do not want to get into your politics mate. you have been there with Jack Walker and the SAS. you actually have won the Premiership, we are a club that has done not a lot.But we are about being fair. if you win you will have done well. I would just like to add if anyone stays up then I hope it's you.
