I've put the thread heading in capitals because this could be a watershed game. Brentford are above us in the table; they have a massively superior goal difference; they taught us a football lesson at the Liberty whilst giving us a 3-0 hiding in the process and they are bang in form. Such portents do not bode well for us to get anything out of the game on Boxing Day.
However, as we all know, holiday periods tend to produce a spate of surprise and shock results. Needless to say I'm hoping that we can spring one ourselves. All the odds are against us but our Swans have proved they can be unpredictable by nicking 'impossible' points then throwing those points away against an inferior team. It seems to be part and parcel of supporting this club.
I think that we would come dancing back down the M4 if we get a draw and that's probably the best we can hope for. BUT, if we can reproduce the kind of football we showed against Luton and Cardiff then we might, just might, steal a memorable win. It's a tough ask and I absolutely hope that the Brentford players give us a helping hand by indulging in too much Christmas goodies.
