Brentford

Our west London Championship team of the week

Fulham were our only winners in the Championship this weekend, coming from behind to beat Barnsley 4-2 and secure a much-needed away victory.

There was a first goal for the club for Scott Malone and Chris Martin, with Lucas Piazon and Sone Aluko also finding the net.

Brentford were well beaten, 3-1 at Newcastle, but Scott Hogan scored again, while QPR were poor in their 1-1 draw at home to Reading.

Here’s our choice for team of the week:

Alex Smithies (QPR)

Earned his team a point with a number of second-half saves.

Denis Odoi (Fulham)

A mixed display, but at times he’s a very good outlet for Fulham on their right-hand side.

Harlee Dean (Brentford)

Got his body in the way on a number of occasions to help keep the score down at St James’ Park.

Ragnar Sigurdsson (Fulham)

All three of our Championship teams were unconvincing at the back. Sigurdsson did well in the second half at Barnsley.

Scott Malone (Fulham)

Scored one and set up another. A good day for the Whites left-back.

Tom Cairney (Fulham)

Pawel Wszolek scored his first QPR goal but Cairney’s all-round display was again impressive.

Scott Parker (Fulham)

Neat and tidy again. The veteran midfielder has started the season really well.

Sone Aluko (Fulham)

Scored and was a driving force going forward.

Lucas Piazon (Fulham)

The on-loan Chelsea youngster also scored and created openings. Seems to be growing in stature.

Scott Hogan (Brentford)

Netted again for the Bees, taking his tally for the season to eight.

Chris Martin (Fulham)

Has struggled, but a first goal for Fulham might be a turning point.
