Head2HEAD & Team News - Brentford

Just 3 points seperate the two teams tonight, who were both relegated from League One last season.

With the Millers looking to make it 2 league wins on the bounce despite not playing the best football by a long shot and a win by 2 goals will see the Millers enter the top 8.

After defeat in the JPT in midweek, Robins will be reverting his squad to the one that beat Mansfield it seems. Robbo has a couple of players coming back but the game will be too early for them to play in, Marc Joseph has been allowed to rejoin the squad after spending time in hospital with a Kidney infection while Mark Hudson succesfully came through his comeback game for the reserves in their 3-2 defeat at Leeds United.

Meanwhile Bee's boss Terry Butcher is having a tough time of things in charge of Brentford, currently sitting in 17th place after losing 6 of their last 7 games and with a defensive record only better than Mansfield & Stockport.

In many ways the 2 teams compare with each other, both have had no stabilty at boardroom level, various managerrs and then a major clearout of playing staff during the summer.

Butcher just has the one injury worry over striker Charlie Ide with a back injury and he'll face a late fitness test before the game. Loanees Adam Pettigrew, Ben Hamer and Grant Basey complete their final games tonight before leaving the club.

Last time out v Hereford (2-0 defeat)
Simon Brown, O'Connor, Heywood, Mackie, Basey (Starosta 80), Moore (Shakes 60), Mousinho, Pead, Poole, Connell (Charles 80), Thorpe.
Subs Not Used: Hamer, Pettigrew.

Referee: Mr R. East - little is known about tonight's ref, who spent alot of last season on the conference circuit and has never reffed a match for either club previously.
