Anyone else going down? Good oportunity to see the next batch of youngster and a few fringe players. Will be interesting to see what Dan Harding can add down the left.

dammit, would have loved to have gone

damn this new job

[Sun Tzu]

I'll be there - don't think I've ever set off for a game less than 12 hours after getting home from the previous one !

[Sarah Star]

Has Karacan ever captained them before? Good luck to him - especially if it's his first time.

[shoey]

Best to see Lita before he goes!

[TFF]

At a loose end this afternoon - might just take in this game, not seen the ressies yet this season.

[AndyRFC]

I completely forgot about Dan Harding being at the club

[M U R T Y]

Presumably Coppells comments about the mad stad pitch fell on deaf ears then...

[Sun Tzu]

We were winning 2-1 with about 20 mins to go.

Lita scored the first then Karacan (I think !) converted a pen.

May well have been extra goals after that of course....

[TBM]

Anyone know how far Karacan is away from full fitness? - i feel he could be our new "Sidwell"

[Sun Tzu]

Well he played a full game ( as far as I watched) and seemed fine.

I'd say he's fit.....


Unless he can produce a note from his mum.

[Sun Tzu]

3-1 final score, Lita with a second and it was Hunt with the pen not Jem.

No reports on performances of our younger and newer lads suz tzu?

Many feel the same - I do.

[shoey]

lets get jem in for harps(i do like harps but he not at it for now)

No.

To be honest I didn't pay that much attention !

That sounds terrible doesn't it, but I spent most of the time chatting in the sunshine and kind of found the game washing over me.

Would probably have done the same TBH. Just wondering how Baggie in particular got on, as he along with Walcott seem to be the big things to come out of this years intake.

This is the Harps who was MOTM last night according to the EP ?

To give the man credit he was at the game this afternoon, in the dugout encouraging the team.

Amongst others James Henry, Hal Robson-Kanu and Ben Hamer were also there.

Baggie looked busy, he is small though isn't he !
He looks comfortable on the ball but from the bits I saw he didn't do anything that stood out. Probably hard for him playing alongside Lita and Hunt but he's done well for the reserves and does seem one with some promise.

I REALLY hoep we don't let Hamer leave. He is nailed on to get Brentford's player of the season. With the season they've had I think that's some effort. Also to have 2 (3 if you count a stint in BSP with Crawley) seasons experience of playing regularly under his belt at such a young age really could be of huge benefit.
