Defender Sam Sodje starts a four-match ban after being shown his second red card of the season during the 2-2 Boxing Day draw with Swindon, and striker Deon Burton sits out a one-game ban after also seeing red late on.[LNB]With Christian Dailly struggling with illness, Kelly Youga out with a knee injury and Frazer Richardson still missing with hamstring trouble, Parkinson is desperately short at the back.[LNB]Up front, David Mooney is sidelined with a knee injury but Parkinson can call on Akpo Sodje, Chris Dickson, Leon McKenzie or Izale McLeod.[LNB]The Addicks boss is also boosted by the return of winger Lloyd Sam from his one-match ban.[LNB]Parkinson said after the match against the Robins at The Valley: "We could do with a boring 1-0 win in the next game considering in our last match we drew 4-4 with Millwall and finished here with nine players.[LNB]"We're really down to the bare bones for Monday so it's time to roll our sleeves up and give that extra 10-15% against Brentford.[LNB]"This is another challenge thrown at us and we're going to meet it head on."[LNB][LNB]
