Injuries have already marred 18 year old Titus Bramble's career and he is set to miss more games with tendinitis of the ankle ("Tendinitis: Inflammation of the lining of the tendon sheath (tenosynovitis) and of the enclosed tendon" - HealthWorld Online). Titus suffered a similar problem last season. The club has stated on several occasions in the past that Titus's injury problems could largely be due to his growth rate and that once he has stopped growing he should maintain a higher level of fiteness. Let's hope so.

George Burley made one or two unsurprisingly upbeat comments about last night's victory at Griffin Park: "Brentford were a good side who were not easy to beat. It's never easy at Griffin Park. We reverted to a 4-3-3 formation for the second half and that made all the difference. It also shows how versatile the boys are to be able to change systems like that."

He has also said he is still looking to make additions to the squad.
