Bradford vs. BRENTFORD F.A Cup 2nd round preview.

Brentford have traveled the miles tonight to Coral Windows Stadium in Bradford for the F.A Cup Sponsored by Budweiser 2nd round match vs. Bradford City.

Brentford traveled to the game unbeaten in 8 and looking good to go on and reach the play offs.

As for league places, the Bees are in 5th in NPower League 1 and Bradford are in 6th in NPower league 2.

Just because they are in the league above, Brentford will NOT think this will be a easy game as there never are any easy F.A Cup games.

Last time the sides met it finished 1-1 at Bradford. This was in Brentford's championship winning season in 2009

My prediction is a 2-0 Brentford win with Donaldson and Forrester on target with the Bees going through to play Manchester United/City AWAY.

Brentford 2 Sheffield United 0

 Brentford arrived in at Griffin Park in a rich vein of for unbeaten in 7 games and sitting 7th in the league 1 standings.
As for Sheffield United, the Blades where having a fantastic season and arrived at Griffin Park in 2nd place in n power league 1 so where arguably slight favorites.

At the beginning of the game, it was the home side who started the stronger and took a well deserved lead after just 3 minutes when Clayton Donaldson slotted home and the Bees looked good value for the lead.

The home side continued to control the game and this domination lead to Brentford scoring once again in the 29th minute when Harry Forrester scored a wonder goal. The young midfielder took the ball inside and smashed it from outside the box to beat the United goal keeper. There was nothing the keeper could do.

Although that was it for goals, the game continued to be an exciting, end to end encounter and both keepers where kept busy and both made some superb saves.

So Brentford where the winners and this was well deserved.

The win put Rosler's side up to 5th and just 1 point from automatic promotion.

The Buzz man of the match award goes to Brentford's goal keeper Simon Moore.

BIG crowds expected for Sheffield United clash

Bees fans are being advised that the match tomorrow could well be GP's biggest attendance this season so please come along early...

I really hope we can get a decent attendance [+6000]

Come on you Beeeees!!!

NEW loan signing's for Brentford

This morning Brentford have announced the completion of 2 loan
signings.

The Bees have brought in defender Lee Hodson from Watford and Italian under 19 international striker Marcello Trotta from Fulham.

Reports are that Trotta is player that Brentford have been looking at for a while, this may lead to Bees fan's wanting to know why he has NOT been brought in sooner especially after injuries to other strikers in the squad.

Lee Hodson however may be seen as an unexpected signing signing. He plays at right back.

Stats report:

Hodson has played 83 times for Watford scoring 1 goal and has also come the Northern Ireland youth system and go on to make 9 appearances for the full international side.

Trotta however seems to lack league experience having played just 10 league games whilst at Fulham then loans at Watford/Wycombe and now the Bees.


On the whole I think these signings could be very influential to the Brentford march to the Championship.

Brentford vs. Carlisle United [Home], vs. Preston [Away], vs Swindon [Away]

The Bees vs Carlisle

Brentford improved their set piece record against Carlisle as the Bees beat the Northerners 2-1 at Griffin park. The Bees picked up all 3 points thanks to Douglas and Paul 'he scores when he wants' Hayes

Brentford 2 Carlisle 1



Preston vs The Bees

Antonio German put away his first goal for Brentford as the Bees got in late to bag a point. A goal from Preston's Scott Laird looked like being enough to keep the points for the Deepdale outfit but the ever determined West London side managed to nick a point right at the end.

Preston 1 Brentford 1



Swindon vs. The Bees

Undefeated in 7, Uwe Rosler and his side arrived at the county ground to face Paolo Di Canio's high flyers in a match that had the potential to be animated. Even if it was just watching the gaffers...

Clayton Donaldson was on hand to score the only goal in what was a very close game by all reports as both sides showed why they are near the top of the table .

Brentford not only won the game but they are beginning to build momentum and go up the league table...

Swindon 0 Brentford 1




Please note-these reports where done by me looking through reports online and through tweets from the Brentford faithful.

A member of our writing team will write the one for Saturday.

Bees vs. Carlisle preview

Brentford vs. Carlisle is a replay of the 2011 JPT final played at Wembley Stadium

Brentford come into this game in the match at Griffin park in 9th place in NPower league 1 whilst Carlisle sit in 15th

Tomorrow could well be a land mark occasion for Bees play Shaleum Logan as he is set to make his 50th appearance in a red and white shirt [apart from obvious away games] so well done to him

My prediction is a 2-1 win for Brentford with Douglas and Clayton on the score sheet

Borehamwood AWAY. FA Cup 1st round

On Saturday the 3rd of 'Movember' Brentford traveled Borehamwood FC.

This was seen by many as good draw for the Bees but fans also kept in mind the 2nd round loss to Wrexham at Griffin Park last season...
 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8IlgxfCi1o&list=PL8E6959C52F1C0575&index=19&feature=plpp_video]

Both sides approached this game with reason to believe they could win as they are both near the top of their respective leagues and and arrived at the ground off the back of weekend wins.

As this was my first trip to Meadow Park I decided go check out what I could see...

My first point of interest was Elstree Studios where Eastenders is filmed. Sadly you cannot get anywhere near to the set...

After this I felt I saw it was approaching 12 o'clock AKA lunch time so I decided to go grab a bite to eat from what turned out to be a rather elaborate menu...this menu has to be one of the BEST menu's I have ever seen at a football ground...

As you can see by the photo above I was rather lost for choice on the food front!

So once I have finished my food [have a guess what I had] I headed to the 'Away End', when I got there I got my first view of the Meadow Park ground and I have to say I was rather impressed, I had a quick wander around then got to my standing position and it was game time...

Brentford lined up with a familiar line up of Lee, King Kev, Legge, Craig, Bidwell, Forshaw, Douglas, Adeyemi, Hayes, Forrester, Donaldsons and this experience would prove pivotal as this game was over in the first half as Brentford took charge and scored 2 early goals from Clayton Donaldson and Harry Forrester .
After the 2 early goals, Bees fans may have been expecting a large win but no, Brentford could not get passed an inform James Russel in the Borehamwood goal.

FINAL SCORE: BRENTFORD 2 Borehamwood 0.

The Buzz man of the match was James Russel [Borehamwood goal keeper] who kept the Wood in the game.
