Brentford 1 - 2 Walsall

If we win this one then there might be an outside chance of the play - off's but we'll have to see!!

UTS

[Willenhall Saddler]

Brentford 2 Walsall 1

[WFC_Rob]

Win this and I think we'll make a genuine charge for the playoffs. Lose and I think we'll have too much ground to make up over the remaining games.

With that in mind, I'll go for a 1-1 draw. Paterson with our goal.

[aaaae]

Very frustrated by this game, I've got a ticket to see England play France at Twickenham which kicks off at 5. If it kicked of an hour later I could do both games.

Mind, I've been to Griffin Park twice and we played badly both times and lost by a single goal. I'm not itching to go there again, but I will be a stones throw away as the game is happening!

PS - If you're looking for a decent pub, try the Greyhound on Kew Green, better than the pubs around the ground if you ask me.

You missed the debacle of 5-0 drubbing back in 2006 then?

Only time I have been to Griffin Park and the most clueless performance I think I have ever seen.

I am not hopeful of getting much this Saturday. A draw would be a decent result but 3 points would be terrific.

Fortunately - yes!

Played table tennis against a Brentford fan last night. We beat his team 5-4 away. You'd have to be an absolute idiot not to treat a harbinger like that seriously.

Brentford 4-5 Walsall

Double Brandy, Single Grigg, Pato and @Taundz direct from a goal kick.

Direct from a goal kick? Schoolboy error. Don't you even know the rules of the game? Everyone knows @Taundz isn't allowed to take goal kicks.

Even if he's in goal?

You mean Brentford have signed @Taundz as a 'keeper?

(Mind you, he'd probably be a better 'keeper than he is a full-back)

@Taundz's next game will be a pre season friendly for Telford.

This is a must win game after last week's draw but being one of the stronger sides in the league i've seen I think we will fall short of all 3 points.

1-1 Brandy with a late equalizer , 6.5k there to see it including 380 saddlers.

300+ travelling to Laarndan? Hope you're right but we hardly ever muster more than 200 when we go to big smoke or surrounding counties.

Going to be a very tough game to win on Saturday.

[canadiansaddler]

Another impressive away victory

Brentford have the wobbles especially at home - one victory in the last 5 and that against Stevenage who are plummeting down the table at a rate of notes. A high scoring away win for the mighty saddlers

Brentford 2 v 3 Saddlers

Brandy , Baxendale and Butler

5,625 in attendance - 349 Saddlers standing on the Terraces

Splitter #1 from Groff's backside to make a subsitutes appearance replacing this weeks Mcgoalie in goal midway through the second half in a series of bizzare substitute by Cullys jumpers as Deano sees a red card following an incident involving a rectangle , a triangle and a dodecahedron

B 1 - 0 W 4812 (365 Saddlers)

Struggling to imagine a win to be honest.

2-1 defeat. Close but so far.

[kshammer]

Draw, one each, Grigglinho.

[JonnyOwen]

0-1 Walsall, BWP showing how much of a bag of eartha he is against us by missing every single goal scoring opportunity, whilst Parallelogram scoring thanks to a bit of strong wind. (Not from Deanos backside)

With that in mind, I'll go for a 1-1 draw. Paterson with our goal.

My thoughts exactly. Head says 2-1 Brentford, but aaaah sod it.... 2-1 Walsall (Grigg and Grigg)!

[Bristol Fan]

David Grof!?

[Bristol Fan]

David Grof!?

No, not David Grof. The "shock team news" was actually that Ben George makes his debut at right back.

Team:

McCarey, George, Downing, Butler, Taylor, Brandy, Mantom, Chambers, Paterson, Westcarr, Grigg

[BEIRLYND]

BBC have Baxendale in for Westcarr

[Welsh_Saddler]

The BBC website posts a slightly different team

McCarey

Butler
George
Downing
Taylor

A. Chambers
Baxendale
Mantom

Grigg
Paterson
Brandy

Substitutes: Grof, Holden, Benning, Featherstone, Hemmings, Bowerman, Westcarr.

(Westcarr on the bench, Baxendale in the starting XI)
Purkiss was supposed to be fit - evidently not, as he's not even on the bench!

So it does! I read "my" team news from someone on Twitter. Obviously they are a cretin.

[saddla]

Saddlers player is once again notable by it's absence.
Brentford prematch agrees with the Beeb. No team sheets though as they've had a power cut.

[jeffsmate]

Ben George , supposedly our next big rising star?
