If that is the case, I'd be amazed if it weren't Saunders. Forrester has a lot of promise - and feedback from pre-season looks good - but Saunders was arguably our key man in terms of creativity for much of last season, so deserves a start. Away from home, I think we'd only be likely to use both if it were with a single strikerOriginally Posted by Keighley Bee
You are probably right, but I wanted to make the point for Harry. If he misses out he can consider himself most unfortunate, he had a very good game last night.
The search for someone to blame is always successful.

A scary team to come up against - but what a bench!
I like the midfield we have. We have options for all types of midfield pairings/formations etc. I know we currently lack in the striker position, but we know that Weston can cover for the time being, and so could Forrester. But on top of those two, German and Norris can do it too and being fair, I'd probably put Norris on the bench instead of either Dave or Kev... would argue that having 4 midfielders, regardless of having Kev as a RB sub or not, is a bit OTT. Giving the likes of Norris and German both first team experience away from home is ideal.
Forrester would be first on my team sheet then would think about rest.Dont understand why he can't play him with Saunders
It will be a bold move and one that I'd really like to see happen, you'd need two very good holding midfielders who can take the game by the scruff of the neck though unless HF can tackle back. I say this as I expect that we'll start with 2 up top until one gets injured, I bloody hope we do anyway.
Far too old for a mid-life crsis
I agree it would be a bold move but Forrester does tackle back, other than his general quality the one thing that has really impressed me is that he works back and isn't afraid to get stuck in. I think he has serious potential and would start with him ahead of Saunders... Wouldn't be against both starting if we have a decent 'core'.It will be a bold move and one that I'd really like to see happen, you'd need two very good holding midfielders who can take the game by the scruff of the neck though unless HF can tackle back.

Agree with this. What I've seen of Harry suggests he ain't scared of putting a foot in.
You were scared of talking to him after I made introductions for you at Leipzig airport.
Far too old for a mid-life crsis
On last nights performances it would be Harry for me but whichever gets the nod knows he will need to perform well to retain the position
He did at Tranny away last year and it worked pretty well, given Harry has got better since then it might be in UR's mind to play them in a straight 4-4-2 as wide players with Douglas and one other in the middle and the strike force of Donaldson and El-Alagui.

General consensus is that Harry has excelled pre season (he ran the game vs Hayes imho) and he needs a chance to show why UR reckons he'll become our most valuable player.
Personally I'd be inclined to pick him first and select the best players to allow him to play his own game. I'd definitely play Jon Douglas and after that I'm not so sure as while I like both Sam S and Jake that would leave us a bit short and lightweight. It may well be that there is rotation depending on the oppo but either way it's a midfield that is capable of good football, need to make sure it also has enough bite and strength to enable us to dominate.

Thats my team to, shame l wont be there saturday, Gutted !
I'd prefer to see KO'C in your Douglas position and push Douglas further up at the expense of Saunders or Forrester, keep it tight, Brentford:
--------------------- O'Connor ----------------
Reeves ------------------------------ Douglas
-------------- Forrester/Saunders------------
When the wind of change blows some build walls, others build windmills...
Why, what's happening today?
Est. Since 1976
From the Chronic.............."Rosler still hopes to get some of his remaining three targets – a striker, midfielder and left-back – in before the Bees open their new campaign in the League Cup at Walsall on Saturday"......tick tock !!
Football is not a matter of life or death, it's more important than that.
We've still got FridayWould be fun if all 3 positions were signed tomorrow and Rosler came out and just said 'told you so'.
We've still got Friday
That would be great
