MATCH THREAD “ BRENTFORD v CARDIFF CITY MATCH THREAD “

A win tonight would be huge. I'd take a draw happily right now.

Who are the key men?

Ryan Woods (Brentford): The diminutive Woods is Brentford's midfield metronome, keeping the Bees buzzing from his deep-lying position in front of the back four. He may only have one goal and three assists this season, but he does all that vital, unseen work.



Junior Hoilett (Cardiff): Who else? Hoilett can consider himself very unlucky not to have scored in the 3-2 win over Birmingham, missing a huge chance towards the end and having a strong shout for a penalty rejected. His creativity from the left flank is a massive asset for the Bluebirds.

Gabiddon gushing about Warnock

Danny Gabbidon is on Sky Sports tonight.

He says Warnock has ‘been there, done it, got the t shirt and got the promotions on the CV’.

The former Bluebird goes on to state that Warnock is ‘probably more important than any player’.

End to end football already

Poor defending he left us wide open by losing possession there.

Gurjic lost possession and thats how they created their goal

Cardiff are not going to lye down

Villa 1-0 down also .

Too easy Come on Cardiff!!

Tonight is a game of win ugly if you have to

It’s a ridiculously open start to proceedings at Griffin Park, with Cardiff looking exposed every time Brentford come forward, but also creating chances, largely through Hoilett on the left.

Zohore has been involved too, he squared for Paterson and the Scotsman had a clear effort on goal blocked by Bentley.

At the moment very lively by both clubs

Annis was simple ball up to laing in corner no need fancy stuff
