Brentford defence?

[davidpinder]

Any news on who it might be ? is collins back? what was maguires and lowtons bans?

Currently away at the mo so a bit out of the loop.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Collins is expected back, Maguire and Lowton only had 1 game bans so I expect it'll be Taylor, Maguire, Collins, Lowton

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

More concerned about when McDonald will be back.

United will continue to struggle in his absence.

That looks like Tassotti, Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini compared to Tuesday night's back 4.

Also back for Saturday, or at least thats what I heard last night whilst walking back to the car....

...on which point, if any of you got talking to a Yorkshire sounding bloke on teh way bak to your car, with a smidge of a Brummie twang, it may have been me...

 

[judge]

Think it will be four brentford players and a brentford keeper

 

[Oreyt]

Ah, I remember getting my ticket for this match, full of bravado and chutzpah, ''a day out on the sauce followed by a masterclass in The All New Bladesway™?'' I thought, ''You betcha'' I Palined back at myself.

Taken on the overtones of a getting a reach-around from an angry Fatima Whitbread wearing a chain-mail oven glove now

Exactly what I thought (the masterclass, not the Fatima reach-around) at the time of buying my ticket. An Arsenal supporting mate is joining me, and rather than looking like a poor-man's Arsenal, we'll probably be looking like a poor-man's Bolton.

If thats the case then that is great news. Critical we get him back asap. We've struggled ever since he limped off.

I resisted the urge but you have obliged instead

 

[broomhillblade]

Don't Brentford play in red and white stripes?

We should insist on wearing our home kit. That should confuse them...

 

[SotonBlade]

I'm hoping for:

Lowton Maguire Collins Taylor

What fear is:

Lowton Maguire Hill Williams

 

[Bladesman]

Lowton Maguire Collins Taylor

Lowton Maguire Hill Williams

I reckon you might be right with the latter.

 

[broomhillblade]

From today's Star:

Lowton and Maguire, who have come through the club’s famed academy system, are in line to return to action, having served one-match suspensions for their red cards in the 3-2 home defeat to Oldham Athletic. Lowton is expected to be recalled at right-back in place of Johannes Ertl whilst highly-rated teenager Maguire, who had not missed a single league match before the midweek loss at Walsall, is set to partner either Matt Hill or John Egan at centre-half.


No mention there of Collins.

 

[Jehovah]

James shields says on twitter collins to miss brentford according to Wilson.

 

[broomhillblade]

That would seem to be borne out by Wilson on the Official Site:

Maybe back the week after. Collins will need to get his head right and get back in training.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Egan and maguire at centre back?

One for the statto's; when was the last time we fielded a centre back pairing of teenagers in a senior fixture?

 

[davidpinder]

I would be happier with ertl in back 4 more familier with the other 10 on the pitch.

Ertl needs to get familar with a football first.

 

[davidpinder]

Ertl needs to get familar with a football first.

I think he slotted in well again Oldham until we pressed the sell destruct button, it wasn't him who got himself sent off and brought down a player int he 90th minute who in my opinion wasn't going to score.

 

[iggle-theblade]

i would think team will be

Simmonson

Lowton - Maguire - Hill - Taylor

Flynn - Williamson - Doyle - Quinn

Evans - Cresswell

Subs:
Howard - Beattie - Ertl - Hoskins - Porter

If it is then that should be enough to beat the mighty brentford

Haven't seen any tweets or news about Collins. Seems from the lack of info that he is not avilable though. Big blow. I am suddenly less confident going into tomorrow's match.

He wont be playing from listening to radio last night. Maquire and IMO especially having Lowton back will be a big plus. Come on you red and white superman....not Brentford.

Come on you yellows!!

I am suddenly less confident about going up full stop.

First thing I see when I get in and turn TV on? Fatima Whitbread. Reverse omen. No oven glove though. Thank god.
