The Bees will be buzzing at Molineux this weekend as Brentford come to town riding a four match league unbeaten run and sitting in 6th place in the table. They have scored the fourth most goals in the league so far, but that is mostly aided by their 5-0 victory over Preston this past weekend. They've also conceded the least amount of goals this season with only 5 opponent goals. Dean Smith, who came over from Walsall last season, has got his team playing decent. Much of this is thanks to Scott Hogan. Since coming over from Rochdale in July of 2014, he has averaged 0.7 goals per game in a Brentford shirt. I have to imagine that's one of the highest goal per game rates in all of England in that time span. Unfortunately for him and for Brentford, he hasn't been able to stay healthy since signing. He's got 13 goals in 18 games with Brentford. He has six so far this season and is tied for the league lead in goals with Bristol City's - and Chelsea loanee - Tammy Abraham. I imagine he'll be the one to watch for this weekend. Defender John Egan has also chipped in with three league goals this season. I imagine those are on set pieces, but he could have a rocket of a foot for all I know.
Wolves did alot to slow down the loss of hope we've experienced since the international break. A 2-0 victory at Newcastle is perhaps the biggest Wolves win since our relegation from the Premier League. I'd like to see some consistency and hopefully we don't see a very different lineup from the one we saw in Newcastle last Saturday. But with Walter the mad man, you never know. Wouldn't be shocked to see him bring in the U23 squad to start the match. But Brentford is a team we need to beat at home if we want to mount a promotion challenge. It'll have been over a month on Saturday since we won a match at Molineux (Cambridge United in EFL Cup). Time to regain a home field advantage.
