Match Preview

Legge hoping to make Bees XI Brentford are hoping Leon Legge will be fit to face Notts County at Griffin Park. The centre-half suffered a back injury midway through the second half of Saturday's 1-0 win over Bristol Rovers and was replaced by Pim Balkestein. If Legge is passed fit Nicky Forster should name an unchanged side as he looks to maintain his unbeaten start to life as caretaker boss. That would mean long-serving skipper Kevin O'Connor starting on the bench again despite recovering from a groin injury. Forster will still be without on-loan midfielder Adam Reed, who has gone back to Sunderland for treatment on a groin problem. Winger Sam Wood is the only other absentee as he continues to recover from a broken arm. Jon Harley is included in the Notts County squad. Illness forced the defender to withdraw from the pre-match warm-up against Charlton but the full-back will be available to face the Bees. Manager Paul Ince will select from the same squad that beat the Addicks 1-0 at Meadow Lane. Ince has options available should he wish to make changes to his starting line-up. On-loan midfielder Conor Clifford and striker Lee Hughes made substitute appearances against Charlton, while defenders Liam Chilvers and Graeme Lee and midfielder Lewis Gobern were also on the bench on Friday night. However, midfielder Alan Judge (foot) and winger David Martin (abductor strain) remain on the sidelines. The game at Griffin Park is the Magpies' first away league fixture since drawing 1-1 at Hartlepool on January 25.

Match Report

Bees forced to settle for draw In-form Brentford had to settle for a 1-1 draw against nine-man Notts County after missing an injury-time penalty. Substitute Robbie Simpson slammed his spot-kick against the upright after he was fouled by County's Krystian Pearce with seconds remaining. County had taken a shock lead just before the break when Craig Westcarr latched onto Robbie Neilson`s poor backpass to fire past Bees keeper Richard Lee at the second attempt. However, by then the visitors had already had Jon Harley sent off for two bookable offences within the space of six first-half minutes. It took until the 74th minute for the home side to hold themselves back into the game as Karleigh Osborne heading home Sam Saunders' free-kick from close-range. The visitors clung on in a one-sided second half which also saw Mike Edwards sent off for two yellow cards on the stroke of full time.
