There will be a full house at Griffin Park today as Brentford wave goodbye to League 1, favourite son Kevin O'Connor who has not featured much in recent campaigns, will play today, his 500th start for the mighty Bees. That puts him 4th on the all time list and there is still life in the old dog yet ! He is actually only just 32 yo ,a rare one club man in modern football, a model professional and one hugely respected by fellow players and supporters alike.

I am happy with Wanderers and the handicap start here against the champions elect, who do need a point to seal the title, but still have two games after today to clinch it and both look far easier than this.

There are far more options for Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder today and it now looks as though this was the match he was looking to take three points from this weekend and the first, one he was determined not to lose.

United are are in the drop zone and have just one home game left after today to preserve their third tier status, road games at Peterborough, Crawley and Wolves, do not immediately appear to offer much, given the Blues away day woes and they have been decent at Brunton Park, since Christmas, beating three top 8 teams and taking a point from mighty Brentford . They have kept clean sheets in their last four home starts and get combative midfielder James Berrett ( 35-2-6) back from suspension today, but for them it is less about team news and more about their motivation to be playing League 1 football next season.
