Green
Coyle, Bartley, Bamba, Taylor
Diagouraga, Murphy
Dallas, Mowatt, Roofe
Wood

Mowatt behind Wood to start with. Antonsson can probs play that role as well.

I doubt Berardi is fit enough to start, so he might just make a sub app.

So Monk is looking at Perico over playing Coyle (who he's presumably seen enough of) and Viera gets the nod over Murphy...

It is a pre-season game against opposition few people care about...

How much were tickets?

Probably our best signing

Vieira the other standout performer, was impressed with him when he came on in the last 15 minutes at Preston

I agree with 64, Viera had a great game. Full of energy and some great tracking back. Roofe was impressive, Antonsson didn't get time to show what he can do really and our Italian trialist looked good enough, but nothing earth-shattering.

My concerns were with Bamba and Diagouraga. Although both made some decent tackles and there was a great goal-line clearance from Bamba, neither of them seemed able to make a pass today. If we could manage to get a reliable passing foundation from their two positions with our new pace up front I think we could have the basis of a very good team.

Contrary to some i have reservations about Diagouraga, think he is a squad player only. Brentford improved without him last season. As for Bamba he is hit & miss, expect more calamities throughout 2016/17

Without Bellusci to crucify this season, think Bamba will get any more grief for his mistakes? :roll: :| :wink:

Not much to add to what DDOS has put other than I thought we tried to play football with some nice neat passing and good running. Viera certainly looked a cut above today and Roofe has a few tricks up his sleeve.

Not a bad attendance (11,832) for a friendly priced at £12 adults which I'm pretty sure would have been higher had it not been for the ridiculous £5 extra on the day.
