LAST MATCH
So our first match without Carlos and we get our attacking zest back, 3 goals, 3 points and a clean sheet thanks to Wildsmith. Bullen tweaked the formation into a 433/diamond hybrid with Joao, Rhodes & Hooper all starting and it paid dividends with Rhodes & Joao getting on the score sheet. Reach added another with a cracking finish. We totalled 19 attempts on goal and 8 on target, I think we can safely say that wouldn't have happened if Carlos was still in charge. Of course it is only 1 game but it was like a breathe of fresh air compared to how most of the season had gone.
THE MATCH
Another away trip beckons and I would expect a much tougher test as we travel down south to take on Brentford. Brentford had a slow start to the season but have been improving in the last couple of months and now sit in 12th place looking to mount a playoff push. We beat them at Hillsborough earlier in the season and would take that again although a draw would be a good result especially with Burton coming up at Hillsborough on New Years Day.

THE TEAM
Hooper and Van Aken were injured at Forest so they might miss out. Venancio could replace Van Aken, while Abdi, Jones or Butterfield could replace Hooper. Will Bullen stick to same formation v Forest or tweak it again?

The thread awaits the Meggo of Statesides choice.
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
