XI for Brentford?

[Lightnin]

With Gibbs and Grady out we need to play Furlong at RB and hope Phillips can find some form so we have a least one side where we are strong at attacking .It was mentioned a couple of days ago that Gibbs could be back next week and is it a definate hamstring injury Gradys got ?

Yes, definitely his hamstring. He’s constantly having niggles from it but it’s never tore. He’ll need a scan to discover the extent of it. The fact that he’s had niggles though and it’s now gone would suggest it needs some treatment. I can see this one keeping him out until New Year unfortunately but hope I’m wrong.

With Gibbs and Grady to miss out, and with Austin's goalscoring cameo it's a tricky one - especially as Edwards has failed to really deliver when starting.

Johnstone

Ferguson
Ajayi
Bartley
Furlong

Sawyers
Livermore

Phillips
Periera
Willock

HRK

Al-Habsi, Townsend, Hegazi, Barry, Krovinovic, Edwards, Austin

Amazing there's still no place for Zohore, Brunt or Harper!

Willock?! Bizarre.

He's been no where near the squad all season. Can't see Bilic suddenly chucking him in.

Unless we suffer a spate of injuries Willock will make his debut in the FA Cup at Charlton.

Move Phillips to left wing and bring in Willock who has not been anywhere near the squad. Oh and swap the keepers on the bench for good measure. Ok

Bond, Ferguson. Krov, Barry. Edwards. Phillips , Zohore.

Don’t think for a minute this will be the team but It gives good balance & gets both strikers on the pitch.

Seen majority have Furlong RB, mainly due to Townsend last Two games not being great but worry he would be exposed by Behnrahma.

Think Phillips needs a short spell on the bench. Lost his spark of late,
