Football Special

To be fair we do have a LONG time to plan and prepare for the championship, can even start scouting future opponents. Bit off topic but who do we want to come up from league one? I'm not a fan of the Hollywood documentary but would like to do Wrexham away , something to look forward to

You'd have thought Juric would be desperate to get a win under his belt and will put out his strongest XI, whatever he thinks that is

Yep and Sheff Utd v Cardiff is 7pm Thursday, terrible what they've done to this competition.

Lol We've got Selles, Ruben Selles Actually got more points in the Prem than Jones, Martin or Juric to be fair

Looks like we've sold about 6000 tickets, doubt it will rise much higher, I know we don't have a fans spokesman but clearly a "boycott" going on, we had about 23k in the same round last year v Walsall (pricing was better and sat 3pm) not many expected to travel from Swansea either. 4.30pm on a fucking Sunday evening just so BBC bloody Wales and BBC iplayer can show it , I'm sure millions will tune in. I'm ashamed to say I have a ticket. Still clutching on to the old days when the FA Cup conjured excitement in the fans.

This is remarkable

By the way this Brentford game was the club special £1 tickets for Junior Members, what a way to turn off the next generation 👏 Does anyone else buy the match programme? I do when with the kids, they like looking through it, this season you get to collect stickers with each edition, assume aimed at the nippers, they've got to be having a laugh with this week's choices

I do feel like the club are trolling us sometimes, that shirt presentation for guess the score adds to us being laughed at, ffs just go over and discreetly give her the shirt

This has to be the easiest money ever made, put more on Brentford when I saw the line ups pre match (Brentford still 29/20 for the win), would have loved to have lost the money but if bookies want to give it away rude not to take it

I agree, do you think now Martin has gone and they have no respect for the new boss? Something clearly not right with the attitude (on top of the ability and fitness)

Agree, the shrug of his shoulders said it all, needs to be put in a taxi back to Chelsea, they owe us a decent loan in replacement, preferably a striker

I was near the front of Kingsland, one of the many Brentford attacks that just bypassed our midfielders, Big Les looked at Big Joe, Big Joe held his hands out as if to say that was your man to track Les, and Les responds with a shrug of the shoulders, so truly despicable excuses for professionals. I did predict a there'd be some short term term worsening of performances when Martin left, players are all over the place, no fitness, no leaders, just drifting hoping they'll be put out of their misery. Dragan needs to publicly apologise to the fans, it's really damaging sitting through 0-5 home losses game after game , fans have turned up in numbers game after game and deserve better

Not good enough, I want my fiver back. Sack the board.

At least the local kids will get fed

That will be tongue in cheek surely or a Johnny come lately, I know a few Brentford and they'd acknowledge even their local rivals don't see them as a cup final, Chelsea, Fulham, QPR all traditionally bigger clubs / fanbases, I'd put Brentford on a par with Wimbledon as a club

Chelsea might want some assurances he'll play more? He's picked up a bit so makes sense to keep but should exchange Cornet for a different loan striker

We've been on the receiving end of some diabolical decisions this season, we've clearly not been leaving the correct envelope in the officials changing room pre-match I think we'll struggle against Brentford but if Downes and Fernandes are missing I think it'll be too much of a gap. Is Smallbone expected back?

Would have been interested but it's the same time as we'll be at Nottingham Forest , shame couldn't play day before

Juric probably won't be, but let's at least give him a chance and show a bit of support , not sure what people were expecting after the disastrous run we've been on and players we've got

Fair comment, I've had the banner printers add a * then small print "if they once again fail to appoint anyone with an ounce of football knowledge to actually have a strategy" Brentford could have a tough game v Arsenal in the storm, injuries to all of their key players would certainly help Let's hope 2025 picks up for us a bit, been a tough few months.

Northam banner needs to just be league table with Sports Republic Out stamped on top of it

I'd never encourage betting, but if you have a few spare pounds I'd recommend putting them on a Brentford win, odds seem generous at the moment (we're the only two teams still without an away win)

We all love a trier, there's been plenty like that over the years, he's a shit player but he's OUR shit player. I remember having a bet with a mate at Brentford away 2 years ago that he'd never score for us based on his debut, still on for that tenner

Bloody laughing stock really

Aren't Brentford still without an away win?
