i am surprised that owuso doesnt even make the bench

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

On very limited evidence so far (Brighton and Huddersfield games), I'd go for

Nelson
OConnor
Heywood
Griffiths
Frampton
Brooker (with reservations)
Skulason
Pinault
Rhodes
Owusu
Kuffour

Subs Masters, Charles, Tillen, Moore, Ide [wishing there was a midfielder to put there - I haven't seen Carder-Andrews]

 

[Pete the Bee]

Nelson

O'Connor (c) - Heywood - Griffiths - Frampton

Tomlin - Pinault - Skulason - Tillen

Owusu - Moore

Subs: Masters, Charles, Mousinho, Rhodes, Kuffour

That'd be fine by me!

i am surprised that owuso doesnt even make the bench

didn't include him as not available till January, and too early to say how his injury has hampered him. But if fit, then he would replace Moore.

Mmm interesting, no Rhodes....
Agree with back four though
My question on whether Rhodes has played on the right was that we seem to have Rhodes, Tillen, Kuffour for the left side spot ( all who are considered for a starting position ) but only Tomlin ( who should play if fit ) and Brooker ( who should only be a sub at most ) for the right.

Mine would be :

Nelson
Kev O, Heywood, Griff, Framo
Tomlin, Pinault, Oli, Rhodes
Owusu, Kuffour

Subs: Ide, Tillen, Charles, Moore, Masters

Ryan Peters made several substitute appearances on the right last season.

As far as I know he's still about, and I'd prefer him to Brooker as Tomlin's out.

Peters had a hernia op this summer, don't expect him anytime soon.

Tomlin
Skulason

Masters
Tillen
Mousinho

(Tillen / Brooker would replace Tomlin / Rhodes possibly according to opposition / tactics etc)
Owusu

Somehow missed that. Was wondering where he was.

Thanks.

The team selection is a bit of a headache....

Moore has looked out of sorts the last couple of matches, in the absence of a "target man" maybe we could try Kuffour and Tomlin upfront?? I prefer Tillen in midfield and I also thought when Brooker and Rhodes swapped wings there was an improvement....please someone though stop Brooker from straying so much infield!! We do miss Oli and his "toughness", him and Pinault compliment each other and work well in the centre midfield.
Kev O, Heywood and Griffiths are doing Ok. I feel Framo is best suited to LB and that back four would work well. It is the left and right wings that worry me. Brooker, Tillen, Rhodes ??? I am not sure. All three seem to play better when they come on as subs, rather than starting matches!!!

Have to agree 100% with that selection

 

[Bees_4eva]

Nelson

Heywood

Tillen

Brooker
Pinault
Skulason
Rhodes

Owusu
Kuffour

Subs
Ide
Charles
Tomlin
Moore
Griffiths (*note* i have never seen Griffiths play so perhaps he sould be in the first team)

Thats the side based on the one match ive seen this season (Blackpool)
But all players i have seen before are included.
Also i never feel the need to have a goalkeeper on the bench.

I'd pay good money to see this team

(if they're ever available together)

Compared with most Brentford teams I've seen it is not very impressive, but then again thanks to you know who we are now under a mountain of debt so that explains it

 

[Shirley Bee]

Two internationals (one full), two who have had trials for their (ancestral)country, another who has represented the football league at U21 level, an ex-premiership player, plus some talented youngsters.

Not bad for League 1. I agree Brentford have had better teams on paper in recent times, but I would place it in the above-average category in my experience of some 40-plus years.

This is by far the best balanced side and I would think would be Leroy's first choice too...Would prob have Tomlin on the bench though instead of one of Charles or Mousinho..
