Not too bad! Nearby, and these days Brentford count as a good team

Winnable if we can contain Maupay, they have only won one game since flying ahead in September.

And possibly a last visit to Griffin Park.
Kind of sucks, because it won't be a money-spinner but at the same time it's going to be tough to go there and get anything (they're not in great form, but the Championship/League One gap has widened hugely in the past few years).
But at least it's close for most fans. And you never know - they play take us lightly and pay for it.

Eh, we'll just beat them 4-0 again. Easy.

I thoroughly enjoyed our last cup visit to Brentford

I wonder how many of the first team they'll play?
If they take us lightly you never know.
Only 1600 tickets for the away end.

Brentford v Oxford
Chelsea v Forest
Fulham v Oldham
Qpr v Leeds
Suspect some fixture changes, think we're guaranteed 3pm Saturday. Most likely Fulham V Oldham and Chelsea V Forest changed.

That was certainly an epic night .?

Its a middle of the road draw. Could have been worse or better.

Yes, middling. Better than playing another team in L1 or one from L2 but not as good as a money spinning Prem club or very beatable 'minnow'.

Might as well hand them the tie now then.

Brentford is an absolute s**t pit, makes Sw***on look like Paris. We'll fill their away end and go in their home sections. Only thing going for it is that they've a few pubs. I fancy us to get the win too.

I haven’t seen Oxford play there since the mid-eighties in a pre-season friendly. Back then Brentford’s claim to fame was that there was a pub at all four corners of the ground. Dunno about now though.

I would swap grounds with them today.
We’ve done ok against them recently. Didn’t we beat them on a penalty shootout a while back. Also the 4-0 demolition in the Lge Cup. I remember going a fair few years ago. Paul Reece’s Dad gave me and my ole man a couple of complimentary tickets. We lost that game 1-0 Joe or Jon Allen Cant remember exactly. But they scored in the first minute from a penalty.

My five year old went to a few games last season and nearly all of the weekend matches this season... so I've just got him a half s/t.... Good news for us is that he's been on at me for ages about going to an away game and at that age I'm keen to pick the right one (distance, type of atmosphere etc. ) and this one sounds about perfect from that perspective.... proper old ground too he won't see many like that.

I’m not sure what your motivation for these posts is, but I find them very depressing.

Paris is predominantly a complete dive, so you may be right.
Brentford itself isn't the greatest area but is very close to a number of excellent parts of London which all have an abundance of pubs. Wouldn't bother with any of the pubs around the ground, go a bit further afield for a drink. Coming from Oxford you could easily drink in Ealing Broadway then get the 65 bus about 15 minutes down to Griffin Park and stops right outside.
On the pitch I wouldn't be surprised at all if you won. We lost to Notts County at home in the 3rd Round last season and unfortunately take Cups lightly, even resting players against Arsenal in the League Cup this season. We're struggling anyway at the moment so either way I'm not hugely confident, though there's still a good side in us somewhere.
I'm looking forward to it despite that, would expect a packed away end and have always thought you have proper support.

You'll be able to hear it anywhere in the vicinity for the hours leading up to the game as we blast it out of the tannoys at Griffin Park.

Hi BFC, do you think Canice Carrol will get a game? How is he doing?

He's doing well and I think regarded pretty highly by the club. He was signed for the "B Team" initially but has been in the first team squad a couple of times and spent time training with the first team squad. He's not played at that level yet but could potentially be involved in this. We have a good record of signing young players and turning them into first team regulars (who then go onto bigger clubs) so think he'll be around our side soon enough...

One of the only home games I've not done in years, probably fortunately. A repeat wouldn't completely surprise me at the moment.

Confirmed a Saturday 3pm kick off. Barnsley will now take place on January 29th.
