Stevenage V Brentford at The Lamex Stadium - Match Preview




Jeffrey in frame for Stevenage

Anthony Jeffrey could be added to the Stevenage squad for the visit of Brentford.

The 18-year-old forward joined Boro on loan from Arsenal on Friday but was not involved in the 2-0 defeat by Colchester at the weekend.

Winger Filipe Morais hopes to shake off a knock in time to feature but defender Jon Ashton is still out with an Achilles injury.

Boss Gary Smith could make changes to his side after they slipped to a sixth successive defeat.

Midfielder Robin Shroot dropped out of the starting line-up on Saturday and will be pushing for a recall along with striker Steve Beleck.

Defender Andy Iro is still waiting for his Boro debut after recently returning from a loan spell with Barnet.

Brentford can welcome back Adam Forshaw and Clayton Donaldson.

Midfielder Forshaw was suspended for Saturday's 1-0 win over Scunthorpe after he was sent off against Crawley last week.

And 20-goal top scorer Donaldson should return after missing out at the weekend having attended the funeral of his mother on Friday.

On-loan Norwich midfielder Tom Adeyemi staked his claim for a place in the starting line-up after scoring Brentford's winner three minutes after coming on as a substitute on Saturday.

The Bees, who are up to fourth, have no new injury worries but are still without Kevin O'Connor and Farid El Alagui.

Midfielder O'Connor is sidelined by a long-term ankle injury and striker El Alagui is recovering from a knee problem.
