Play as a 5-3-2 with Solly and Holmes Dennis as wing backs With JJ feeding them as much as possible from the middle. Would like Diarra to play in front of Baura and Sarr to give protection plus he can start attacks as well. Tony Watt to get at least 30 mins to replace Mak or Reza as they can't be match fit at the moment. Also Lookman on the bench instead of Kag Plus Moussa to get 20/25 mins. As Diarra got 2 yellows at Palace and served a 1 match ban for the red card, the 2nd yellow must be void.
Diarra is definitely banned. | It has been confirmed that Alou Diarra will be suspended for Saturday's clash with Brentford. #cafc Diarra received one yellow in the League Cup defeat to Crystal Palace before receiving a straight red, which counts towards his tally. #cafc
Brentford beat Wolves tonight 0-2 and having a new manager bump. The Brentford owner realized his experiment was not working and went back to a british manager.
Why don't we try and surprise Brentford. They'll be expecting 4-4-2, they'll be expecting slow passing from Bauer, wide to Solly or Fox, then sheer nothing as everything is still in front of them and panic sets in.
Why not get JBG on the left. Natural width. Big if, but if Mak is fit, we might get some early crosses into him as we'll have a natural winger playing on the correct side for once. I know he prefers to play on the right, but I haven't been feeling even JBG's performances recently. Why not just try and mix it up?
Doesn't look as though Mak will be fit so the only thing I would ask is JJ start, we need the leadership on the pitch
Please, just for once, can our players who are touch and go make it into the starting line up.
Sorry I dont get this... Id rather:
Lose one more game (whilst resting our players who still arent quite there) means that we then get everyone back fully fit and means we can go on an actual run.
Win this match by playing unfit players can give us three points yet there is a huge chance of an injury flairing up, meaning that going forward we're then worse off than Tuesday night.
You could say that statement of mine contains a lot of IFs and Maybes but that works both ways and just highlights how hard Luzon's (or any Managers) job is
The Physio has said that Henderson, Big Mak, JJ and Reza's return to first team action has to be managed carefully. If Luzon listens to him none of these will get nowhere near 90 minutes.

We all dream of a team of a team of left backs, a team of left backs.......

Not sure who is fit, but if they can train they play until they drop and then sub.
Solly Sarr Bauer Bergdich
JBG Cousins JJ Moussa
Watt Mak
I'm assuming Diarra suspended
Cousin, Diarra, Bauer, Fox at the back
JBG, haven't got a clue, fuck knows, Holmes-Dennis midfield
perm any two from the three of Watt, Makienok and Reza up front.
Cross fingers.

EDIT - seen from the OS that he is out. We really are shafted. That's Sarr in then.

start strong and use the bench warmers when the returnees are knackered and need blood transfusions ((:>)
