It will have been 16 days since we saw what football at the top end of things could look like by Arsenal, who made us look second class citizens in footballing terms.
This game is unusual this season, in so far as the bookies have us down as favourites to win. Monday nigth, under the lights....but how empty will the bowl be. With a boycott planned, kids for a quid, general sale tickets up for cheap, and Nuno's first home game, the atmosphere and attendance is anyone's guess.
Injuries wise, our Big Fucking German is big fucking injured again...reducing the options up front to the two Callum's. Nuno chose to save ~86k in wages last time out, preferring the pace and mobility of Marshall over Wilson, and it will be interesting to see if he does the same thing here, or goes for a 'makeshift' centreforward. And of course Soucek is back.
Other than that, there are no fresh concerns reported going into the weekend.
Predicted Starting Lineup:Areola
Wan Bissaka Mavropanos Kilman Diouf
Magassa
Fernandes Soucek Paqueta Summerville
Bowen (c)
Subs: Hermansen, KWP, Igor, Potts, Guilherme, Marshall, Rodriguez, Wilson, Scarles
Predicted Score: 1-0 (Soucek)

Awful line up and performance to boot.
I’m not sure who is more at fault, the players or the manager.
It’s fucking shit.

It's a good thing Brentford cannot hit the wide side of a barn because our inability to defend set pieces is both mental and diabolical at this point.

And this tippy happy shit from Paqueta is doing my head in.
How Brentford isn't 3 goals ahead is just pure luck.
Get Soucek, Irving and Paqueta off.

Soucek has been our best player. Make of that what you will.

We’re just limp throughout the team. Can’t win a header or a tackle, can’t get up the pitch either.
so easy to play through us.

Not sure what Nuno was expecting with that lineup.

We’re pitiful, fucking pitiful. Lucky not to be 2 down and showing no threat. Can only see one outcome.

Desperately missing diouf bombing up and down, needs to get on at half time.

We look awful. Our midfield is completely anonymous. We’ll be lucky to be at 0-0 at ht.
Soucek and Irving are horrendous choices for our midfield. Cannot understand Nuno’s thinking.

Can one of our centre half’s just once actually win a header.

Well it was a good opening two minutes! Whatever way you look at it a spine of the team of Kilman, Todibo, Irving and Soucek is just not good enough.

We look fucked after 25 mins.
This midfield with Soucek and Irving is ridiculous.
Soucek possibly selected to prevent all corners and throw ins, but we aren't even close to keep them under control.

We’re all over the place again at the back.
Still can’t win a fucking header.

Got off to a flyer but now inviting too much pressure from Brentford now.

Irving so much better in that deep playmaker role than JWP was. Think he's hugely underrated.
Agree about Irving Stubbo.
He's looked good in his rare starts and cameos from the bench.

Classic Soucek putting himself in where it hurts helping to clear danger.

Not bad so far, we really need a centre forward though.
worrying that so many simple straight balls cause us problems.
