1-1.

Can see Kermorgant scoring for us

If we're assuming the 4-3-3, my personal lineup would be:

Al-Habsi
Gunter, McShane, Cooper (Moore if he's in), Obita
Van den Berg
Evans, Williams
Tanner, Kermorgant, Swift

But reckon Stam will likely have Beerens instead of Tanner and even Kelly in there somewhere.

Ian Royal

Going on the player profiles on the official site, I'd say:

Jonathan Bond
Chris Gunter
Garath McCleary

...and maybe Jake Cooper are all candidates. Bond edges it for me, I like a man who's good with his hands...

Got to be Bertrand for me, absolute class act. Also a big fan of Chris Armstrong while he was at the club, fully deserved POTS.

Looks pretty awful here if you ask me. But they say the rain helped, and that the pitch will definitely be playable, so can't overly complain. http://www.brentfordfc.co.uk/news/article/griffin-park-pitch-relaid-2649430.aspx?

Seems odd to me that we are linked considering our options at centre-back and Clarke saying our defence is complete.

Optimistic and apprehensive at the same time about this

Five wins and a draw. We're nearly there.

Al-Habsi; Gunter, Hector, McShane, Taylor; Stacey, Fernandez, Williams, Quinn; Cox, Blackman

Subs: Bond, Obita, Ferdinand, Tshibola, Norwood, HRK, Sa

Don't know why (I think we've been playing great) but I've got a nasty feeling we'll field a weakened side and lose this one 2-0. With close to our best team, I reckon a 1-0 victory.

Would take Preston/Luton at home, or Oxford away.

Team I want: Bond; Gunter, Ferdinand, McShane, Obita; Tshibola, Williams, Norwood, Quinn; Blackman, Sa Subs: Al-Habsi, Keown, Hector, Kuhl, Hurtado, HRK, Cox Team I think it will (and probably should) be: Bond; Gunter, Hector, McShane, Obita; HRK, Norwood, Williams, Quinn; Blackman, Sa Subs: Al-Habs...

Team:

Al-Habsi; Keown, Ferdinand, McShane (c), A. Taylor; Norwood, Quinn; J. Taylor, Cox, HRK; Samuel

Subs: Bond, Gunter, Hector, Tshibola, Williams, Blackman, Sa

1-0 to Reading, Samuel to score on his first start.

Can't say he stood out in the friendly on Saturday, but that's not necessarily a bad thing

IN for this, first away game in years.

Reckon we will draw this 1-1 in a cagey encounter, Norwood direct from a free-kick.

Al Habsi; Gunter (c), Hector, Ferdinand, Obita; Tshibola, Quinn, Norwood, Williams; Blackman, Cox
