Grimsby v Brentford Preview

The Opposition

Brentford still hold hopes of reaching the play-offs even after recent defeats to Morecambe and high-flying Peterborough, but a win over relegation-bound Wrexham on Saturday has reignited hope in moving out of the league. Brentford, though only 8 points off the play-offs, have a minus 12 goal deficit to contend with, 7 of which could be attributed to the league's heaviest defeat back in November where a 7-0 drubbing at Peterborough showed some of the defensive frailties Brentford have contended with during the campaign. But safe in the knowledge that a 6-0 win against us would see them leapfrog us is the table it is time for Brentford to buckle down and hope that playing for points will be enough to secure a play-off place. Only 2 wins in 8 have will have created some major concerns for management, players and fans alike in London but the run coming up involving Hereford, Rochdale, Lincoln and ourselves is hardly forgiving. With such a tough run in at the business end of the season it is going to be a struggle for Andy Scott’s men to pull off the feat.
