“A team full of gigantic, bruising Northerners”?!
We’ve got two outfield players over 6′: Collins at centre half and Coady in centre mid. Three if Porter makes it off the bench.
The days of Blackwell and Warnock filling the side with cloggers are gone; this is the dawn of the Clough era.

This article a joke? Read another on a Brentford site saying we are direct, physical etc.
Really amusing how you get pigeon holed as a side.
We have a team full of tiny players mostly, Scoguall, Baxter, Flynn and ifm anything are too lightweight.
If anything we have been guilty of overplaying and are far more a footballing side than a long ball side. We play with an odd formation with 4-5-1 but the 1 is a FAKE number 10 so to speak (Baxter if fit) and thus we kind of sit back and invite the ball onto us but when we have it we break well and pass it nicely. We need more physical players in the summer as we are too small.
Amazes me perception teams have of other teams based on nothing but guess work, or what they were like years ago (Bassett/Warnock etc). Guess you get a reputation and it sticks.
For the record think you are best side in the division and will beat us. We are getting there but not ready to challenge for promotion yet (left it too late due to awful start under the clueless Weir) and have one eye on the semi

  Interesting, I guess it is difficult to make judgements on a team that you see twice a year…
  Still, should be a good game. Can’t tell if Clough is doing a mind game routine with his “we are focusing on the Cup”, in the hope we don’t turn up – but we’ve stuttered in the last two, and this is the game we will turn it on.
  Can’t see anything other than a Bees win (and we desperately need it).
  However, feel free to beat Orient Saturday though – I’ll let you have that one.
