Brentford are no wally's and will provide a stern test. We'll have to be at our best, and I think we will. 2-0 Palace. -----------Guaita----------- The 5-2-3 formation others have suggested is simply too negative with no wing backs, for a game like this where we are expected to win. This will employed against the 'big 6' only. I for one do not expect us to win.

What worries me is that our collapses against Everton last season and Man City this, will have given other sides encouragement that our defence is somewhat flimsy in the face of concerted pressure. With the absence of Wilf (temporarily or permanently) as a counter-attacking option, one starts to wonder where we are headed at the moment. I'll be very pleased with a win tonight, but I don't expect one.

we will go 4-3-3 I reckon , no Mitchell so Ward that side midfield Doucoure Eze and Schlupp Olise Mateta and if no Wilf , Edouard can play there as he did before for us and looked good , direct with no clever touch's, So I reckon 2-0 maybe 3 , just hope nothing like last seasons 2 games

I cant believe I'm still saying this after 9 years, but if Wilf plays we win, If he doesn't we draw.

I'm just hoping we don't lose 9-0 cos that'll be bye-bye PV.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

My prediction: If Ayew and Eduoard start with Olise and Mateta benched then we lose 2-0. If Mateta and Olise start we win 2-0.

The time wasting, diving, pretend injuries and dour tactics were painfully disgraceful. Their manager then goes on the TV and tells loads of lies and then finishes off with how Brentford’s fans were better than Palaces. I dislike them because of him and his dishonest way of coaching.
