Brentford Preview – Bees to bounce back with a big win?
Brentford will still be licking their wounds after the midweek disappointment at Carrow Road. The Bees fluffed their lines in a big six-pointer with leaders Norwich City, falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat in Norfolk on Wednesday.
Brentford hardly put a foot wrong before their shock loss to Barnsley on 14th February. However, that started a run of three consecutive Championship defeats, with Queens Park Rangers and Coventry City also getting the better of the Londoners. Brentford head into this weekend’s match having lost four of their last six.
Despite their indifferent form of late, Brentford have stayed strong at home. In fact, they have won nine of their last 11 league and cup home fixtures, losing just twice in league action at their new ground. Can Frank’s troops strike back with a big three points at the Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday?
Rotherham United Preview – Tough day at the office for the Millers
Before the midweek trip to Hillsborough, Paul Warne’s Rotherham United had lost successive Championship games to Cardiff City, Bournemouth, Norwich City, Nottingham Forest and Reading, all by a single-goal margin.
Therefore, avoiding defeat at Sheffield Wednesday was impressive. However, Warne’s boys went one better and picked up a precious three points in Sheffield. Even though the Millers had Michael Smith sent off for violent conduct after 66 minutes, Freddie Lapado scored in injury time to give United a 2-1 win.
