Tony Craig
Central Defender Tony Craig is heading into his fourth season with Brentford and is one of only a few players in the squad that has Championship experience having played in the second tier, with both Millwall and Crystal Palace. The 29 year-old’s experience will be vital in a squad that has an average age of 24 and only has six players with Championship experience.
The competition for places in the back four will be fierce as Craig will have to compete with youngsters Harlee Dean and James Tarkowski for the Centre Back positions. However, even if Craig isn’t playing, I believe his off field contributions and experience will have a big impact on the Bees’ season.
