You really shouldn't have put that... you'll see!
One thing many opposition coaches will say is that Brentford has a style of play and we don't change it. In fact, due to sickness, transfers and injury, we did that for our last home game and it was awful. Lesson learned, I think.
We have an exceptionally good analytics department, so I'm sure the coaches and players are well briefed on your latest formation and style. Most of the team selections on here are based on personal bias, though, so don't expect our coaches to take any notice of them.
We play a 4-3-3 and attack a lot; this means we get a lot of shots off but we also have a very young front three and their decision-making is less than mature. We seem very good at taking shots from the edge of the box when there are 9 players in front of us, for example. Depending on who are chosen, they can be very quick and annoying to opposition defenders. This style also means we are open to a counter-attack, so, if we think you've got quick wingers, our full backs may hang back a bit, although they usually play in the opposition half when we have possession. Our defensive midfield is our weakness, both in the counter-attack and in closing down on the edge of our box, so your central players may be encouraged to shoot from distance. Our present defensive unit has a combination of experience, good reading of situations and youthful speed, so it's been very good of late (when we have 11 men on the pitch, that is).
So, we'll take whatever is thrown at us, which is why the debate on here is about the players each likes or dislikes, rather than any opposition, and... with our last two results... it's more than a game to us!
