The lads are still hard at work with training. Today was throw ins and set pieces which was fun hearing Martin Allen's rants at them. They were not using a ball for them but were practicing simulation attacking and defending. Some of the lads decided to play a bit of Volleyball (No Hands though) and all seemed in good spirit. Brooker needs an X-Ray. Newman, Brooker and Nels are on light training at the minute. Doing a bit of boxing! Nels seems to be recovering fast. If Brooker and Newman are out then O'Connor will go right mid and Hutch will cover in the mid-field.
Martin seems to have his idea of the first team ready for Scunhorpe barring injuries. Nels (who MIGHT be playing on Saturday), Dobbo or O'Connor, Framo, Sodje, Turner, Brooksy, Tabby, Oli, Newman, Lloydy and Rankin.
Also a new scheme for Back the Bees is in the pipeline. "Buy a Brick for Brentford". These will be mounted in front of Stripes and when we move to the new ground they will be taken with us. Keep Donating!
Had a chat with a few of the players. Tabb is very nice and talkative. He likes the away kit a lot. Skulason thinks Arsenal will struggle and there is still no love lost between Sodje and Jeffers.
Training Tomorrow is from 10am till possibly about 2pm.
