Brentford v Wolves {live}

No words needed !

Brentford could rest midfielder Nico Yennaris, who has been playing despite a calf problem in recent games.

Andreas Bjelland is likely to be out again after missing two matches with a hamstring injury, and Josh McEachran has not recovered from an ankle injury.

Ivan Cavaleiro could start for Wolves after making his return from injury as a late substitute in Saturday's win over bottom side Rotherham United.

Manager Paul Lambert has no new injuries or suspension to contend with.

Match facts

The Bees have won their last two home league games against Wolves, scoring seven and conceding none.
Wolves have won just three of their 11 previous league trips to Griffin Park (D1 L7).
Brentford have kept just one clean sheet in their 12 league games in 2017, with the most recent one coming at the end of January against Aston Villa (3-0).
Helder Costa has scored six of his eight league goals away from Molineux this season - the only Championship midfielder to have scored more on the road this term is Fulham's Tom Cairney (seven).
Jota has been directly involved in six of Brentford's last nine league goals (four goals and two assists).

Naturally, it's all they have left, pure fabrication to make their own misguided views look better.

Apparently Batth and kmac will be available as the cut off was Sunday so I read.

No idea how true this is.

I believe you're right cinci. Just read somewhere that the cut off date for the Football League is the second Sunday in March for a culmination of 10 yellows.

Wolves win at Brentford has taken them to 7th in the league table for away games only.

Most of the remaining games this season are at home and we need to start finding a way to win at Molineux more often. Clearly more fans go to watch the games at home and I think there would be much more positivity if the home and away form had been reversed this season

Not sure I agree that the home and away form should be reversed. Surely if the home form matched the away form, there would be more positivity about the club in general.
I take your point that the home fans who pay their money to watch the team deserve better, but we should be doing at least as well at home as away and then everyone would feel happier.

Obviously Rodney everyone would be much happier if we were winning at home and away and we were towards the top of the league and going for promotion

But doesn't change my view that if we had got most of our points at home in front of the Molineux crowd then the mood would be less negative. I see most games home and away whereas some of my friends only see them at home and no question they have only been seeing the team at its worst. Away we are a decent championship team, as 7th place shows

I know what you mean DJ

being a STH means I've seen a fairly large proportion of poor games, or poor results this season. if the home and away form had been reversed I still wouldn't be delighted with struggling in the bottom six but I would at least feel like i'd had good value for money from my ticket! I do think the few home wins adds to the general gloom at any club.

it's one of the differences in the way fans feel about the club depending on whether they go to games, or follow online (through halfy's glorious MDT you'd hope). similarly, supporters at the matches probably care more about the way we play - style, entertainment, spirit - than those fans who see a text commentary or just look for the results. it's why I would have hated to be a stoke fan under pulis, even when they were comfortably premier league every season, whilst I am sure more fans who don't attend would be happy with the scores and bragging rights at work or in the pub.
