PRE-MATCH | TOM HUTTON

Ahead of the fixture, head coach Tom Hutton said: “The result was a positive one last week, but the performance wasn’t at the level we expected it to be. We had a lot of opportunities early in the game and we could have been further ahead at the break. We know 1-0 is a dangerous scoreline, and credit to Colchester because they changed the way they played in the second half and deservedly got a goal back. But the boys were resilient, and they dug in and were able to find a winner in a difficult game.

“The boys are fairing relatively well with the busy schedule going on now. We’re twelve weeks into this programme and the boys have been working really hard. In training, we prepare them as best as we can for the games while also preparing them for life as a Championship footballer and beyond that. The Championship schedule is one of the most demanding in football, so exposing these boys to a Saturday, Tuesday programme is a real positive for us.

“Saturday is a game we’re looking forward to. This is Brentford’s first season in category two, as a result it’s someone we haven’t played often, but we always look forward to those fixtures when it is someone new on the calendar. We know it’s going to be a tough test, they’re a good team who have got players from a very good catchment area. As always, we’re preparing as positively as we can, and we will look to put in a improved performance on last week.”
