It hasn’t been a great start to the season for Tottenham Hotspur. I don’t think many would argue otherwise. But much would be forgiven if Spurs could go on a winning run, so Coventry aside, let’s get that kicked off (pun totally intended) against Brentford, shall we?
Brentford won’t be an easy opponent, having dispatched Crystal Palace and Southampton this season while losing (expectedly) to Liverpool and Manchester City. Unlike Spurs, they have no issue with their attack, with forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa scoring three apiece in four matches thus far; Spurs’ somewhat inconsistent defense will have to be at their best to keep a clean sheet.
Spurs meanwhile will be bolstered by the return of Yves Bissouma from injury, while also lamenting further injuries in their forward line after Wilson Odobert suffered a hamstring injury against Coventry in midweek. Ange Postecoglou and the squad will be wanting to silence the doubters after a challenging few weeks, so here’s hoping the team comes out firing.
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
NO SPIDERS!
Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
