Fulham v Bees predictions.....

[Voice from the Braemar]

i predict something which is a bit like football but is a lot more alien.......looking forward to it all starting again but its only gonna be about 10% of what football is all about and especially a derby against THEM.......we win 2-1 in very surreal circumastances......winning there will not be same without thousands of us celebrating it though

i predicted us beating fulham in the play off finals at start of the season and im not changing my opinion.....in front of an empty wembley has got 'its Brentford innit' written all over it !!!
the party back at gp will be good after though social fkin distancing will go right out of the window lol lol

 

[Gazza Bee]

Genuinely have no idea given the circumstances so I'll go 1-1 with Mbuemo cancelling out an early Fulham goal - bet I get the away attendance correct though

 

[nick logan]

0-3

Watkins , Pontus , Mbuemo

 

[Cbee]

Ref is James Linnington, anything could happen!!!!

That scenario has been with me for a while. Our greatest day for what, nearly 90 years?, and none of us will be there. I live near enough to Wembley to have a stroll around the area before the game, especially past the house where my dad was born. Then I will sit at the top of Horsenden Hill watching the Wembley Arch and following events on my phone.

This Saturday's game will have no bearing on future performances so I think we will control the game and could run out easy winners, by two goals.

As I mentioned before my wifes family home was in Elton Avenue backing onto Horsendon Hill. Her dad walked to Wembley for the 66 World Cup final. She remembers sitting in the garden with her mum hearing the roar from Wembley each time we scored and at the final whistle. He got tickets for every England game from answering an add in the Evening News or Standard. No way would you think that was genuine these days!

 

[Ken Richardson]

A win is the only result that would be acceptable. Bees 2-1.

 

[Banana]

0-4. Written in the stars.

 

[TorbayBee]

Is Thomas giving a press conference to day? 2 nil Bees

 

[SpiderBee]

2-2

 

[Mr Cynical]

can't see it being anything other than a draw. 1-1 Watkins.

 

[gbems92]

2-2 mbuemo, emiliano

 

[johndub]

1-1. Pinnock (84’)

 

[JCMcBee]

1-4....the stars have collided...again.

 

[halibutbee64]

0-0

 

[beebopalula]

All about tempo and starting on the front foot. If we are too slow l fear the worst. If we keep the tempo and we have the subs to do it then a Bees win.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

1-1

 

[Ashford Bees]

0-3 Watkins (2) + Pontus

 

[Alan D]

Difficult to call. Probab;y will be decided by how each team reacts to the lack of atmosphere. So, sitting on the fence I'll go for a low scoring draw.

 

[Mr Cynical]

It really is impossible to call this one. Have Fulham played any friendlies do we know? How have they done? We 'should' have our full first choice 11 as near to fully fit as possible (covid-19 depending) which gives us as good a chance as any (probably better than when we were originally going to play) but who knows how the BCD change is going to affect us? Story today that Fulham might be playing crowd noise through the PA so it'll be really strange for our team hearing Fulham fans singing at Craven Cottage....

Feeling a mixture of excitement and trepidation on this one. Key thing is not to lose I think though, ease ourselves back in.

 

[Vid]

0-5. You're welcome.

 

[SQUELCH]

Them 0 Bees 1 Pinnock 90+4

 

[davidccpigeons]

It will depend who makes the most noise to create at least some atmosphere. If Kevin and the dugout plus the players make a lot of noise to dominate things, should be about 0-3. Perhaps we have added a scream and shout coach?

 

[Indian Bee]

Noone can convince me otherwise but we would have beaten Fulham back in March. So much uncertainty in how both teams will react without no fans and their preparation leading up to the game. All I know is that having those 2 away games must have helped our preparation.

Looking back to the 1-0 'thrashing' in December we out ran them and pressed them so well. If we can repeat that and that would be our game plan, their defence is not the best. Going for a good 3-1 win.

They’ve improved markedly since signing Hector.......that worries me......

 

[readingbee]

The Bees will be fitter and faster. A good away win to start the mini season.

Just get Neil McFarlane on there..

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Yes, because I imagine Fulham haven’t bothered doing any training and have spent the last 3 months eating pies with a fag on.

 

[Indian Bee]

He was signed earlier on in the season and not always been a first choice. Doesn't worry me. You say Hector, I give you Pontus. A huge boost to have back.

I don't think they have

 

[Mr Cynical]

I don't think they have

I didn't think so. Seems a bit weird?

 

[red_and_white]

I think they played Brighton

 

[Ruislip_Rich]

0-3 BMW but not in that order. Ollie gets the first. And now you going to believe us ......

 

[TW3Bee]

1-1

Fosu off the bench.

 

[readingbee]

I think they played Brighton

2 x 30 mins apparently.

 

[psg150]

Was excited, now ridiculously nervous. No score predication, just sharing.

 

[mhead bee]

Brentford have a way of playing that doesn’t change, it is like a machine, with fans or without it’s the same. Fulham will need jollying up to get going so will splutter.

0.2 with total possession.

 

[Aylesbury Bee]

Nervous, excited, ... 3:1 win for the bees

 

[Oceanbee]

Tight game. Strange atmosphere, or perhaps no atmosphere.

Strong team bond of us will come to be important as the game goes on.

Fulham take lead, we equalise soon after the half-time break.

The right ending with us winning with a magical 87th minute goal.
I haven’t looked at the possible subs sheet yet, but I’m saying Marcondes becomes a legend with the winner.

2-1 to the wonderful Bees!
We’re back!!!

[Norfolk Bee]

No idea to be honest but my hope is 2-0 to mighty mighty bees! Don't mind who gets on score sheet.

 

[andyrew]

1-1

 

[BuzzWord]

Ok it's 11:00 - doors open - first pre-match beer build up - aaahhh - COYBs - stuff the Foolham !!! Us 2-1 - go on!!!

 

[No_sting_Bee]

I'm waiting for jockbee to start the game thread. jockbee?!

 

[shaun]

Feel ridiculously pumped up and incredibly emotional before this game. In uncertain times, there will always be a Brentford FC. Come on lads, you can do it. ?

 

[North London Bee]

Now we know who probably tested positive given the team announcement and a good luck tweet from Bryan

 

[Indian Bee]

Yes, because I imagine Fulham haven’t bothered doing any training and have spent the last 3 months eating pies with a fag on.

Looking at the size of Mitrovic he certainly has had his fair share of pies. We just looked fitter than them in the last 30 minutes. They needed to make 4 subs. The fact we had two competitive games against Arsenal and Watford helped us and my understanding Fulham had no friendlies. If this is true it is criminal by them.
