Uwe regime fits the bill

Jake Bidwell believes Brentford are the fittest team in League One.

Uwe Rosler took the players to Germany for a gruelling pre-season conditioning camp and his training methods appear to be paying dividends.

Brentford can go third with a win against Peterborough tonight and defender Bidwell (above) said: “We know as a group how fit we are. We are probably the fittest team in the league and the longer we stay in the games the more I fancy us [to win them].”

Brentford, who are nine points outside the automatic promotion places, are unbeaten in seven and have kept five clean sheets in a row.

Bidwell said: “We’d have liked to have a few more points but the longer we keep this run going the better chance we have of being where we want to be. We gave as good as we got against Wolves [0-0] and probably had the better of the chances.”

Peterborough are third but their promotion bid has been stalled by two successive defeats and Brentford striker Clayton Donaldson said: “Their confidence will be low and we need to attack them from the off.

“We have nothing to fear. We went on a run around this time last year, so we’ve been in this position before. If we can keep it going over Christmas we will be in a great position.”
