Sucessful playoff veteran and Bournmouth striker believes that Brentford sucessful playoff campaign will depend on their ability to nick a goal away from home.

With Brentford arguably against the strongestof opponents in Swansea he said,

"Swansea have the firepower of Lee Trundle so if you put all the contenders in with a yard, they will win by a milimetre."

He however believes that Brentford have a good chance of sucesses, IF they can nick a goal at the White Rock Stadium,

"The first game is always cagey and theres rarely more than a goal between the sides,"

"It probably favours, very slightly the team that plays away first - as the home team doesnt want to go out all guns blazing, but you can in your second leg."


After a draw in their final couple of league games the bees are struggling for some form but Fletcher believes they havea good a chance as any,

"Brentford have been in the play-offs before, when they lost to Sheffield Wednesday last season. They'll be keen not to let that happen again.

"They are a solid side, and they could nick a goal in the first leg. "

"But both teams could win at home - it depends if Swansea are prepared to go all-out to try and win the tie at home, as Griffin Park's a hard place to go."
