I've got some terrible news. I've just checked their league table and they were in a horrible run of form with just 1 win in 5.

I think we'll win one of those three if we're lucky. And I don't mean Liverpool or Villa.We have 3 very important cup matches coming up. I doubt anyone expects us to win all 3 but they are all more important than the PL match at Brentford. We have a gap below us and after these cup games we can then concentrate on the Pl when more players will be back.
I only saw the 25min highlights (sky's word not mine) but whilst the 2 goals conceded were bad, we should have scored more goals against that opposition. We cannot break down a low block team either because of tactics or because the players simply are not good enough. However if we do not play our best attackers we will not beat Elfsborg and end up with 2 unwanted matches.
As a long time supporter I am not concerned about relegation as seen much worse several times before and will not give the new thread called that, any attention. Those supporters wanting to throw this match and play 2 extra matches are putting that at more risk.
Difficult to pick the team not knowing who is available but it must be the best 11 available.
The TNT pundits will have all that information to hand. Have they never beaten an English side (I suspect that's a yes)? Do they have a striker who has never scored? Or a keeper who's never kept a clean sheet?I've got some terrible news. I've just checked their league table and they were in a horrible run of form with just 1 win in 5.

Their manager had better be part-time and just come out of prison!The TNT pundits will have all that information to hand. Have they never beaten an English side (I suspect that's a yes)? Do they have a striker who has never scored? Or a keeper who's never kept a clean sheet?
I bet he's worried that we might drop further down than 15th,Of course he didn’t,
I bet he doesn’t think we will finish 15th by the end of this season either.
He's keeping it suppressed. Mentally damaging!No chance, he’s a confident young athlete. That kind of self pity wouldn’t even register. Right orb wrong they will still be looking up the table
They have a playpark
Worth a punt?You're not that far off with the wish of a Legolas look a like. The manager Oscar Hiljemark

Yeah, after storming to a whopping 24 points we can really take our foot off the gas in the league...We have 3 very important cup matches coming up. I doubt anyone expects us to win all 3 but they are all more important than the PL match at Brentford. We have a gap below us and after these cup games we can then concentrate on the Pl when more players will be back.

This is vital, good lord please not more Spurs to watch, sweet baby jesus please no...It’s really important as if we don’t come top 8 we play another 2 games.
Is it true that they are all dwarfs and gnomes ?If we had played Elfsborg away, we would have played on an artificial pitch, and pulled every single hamstring left to pull.
Yes i'm trying desperately to find positives.
A Swedish team means they will be very organized.
If Tamworth could cause us trouble, so can Elfsborg.
