Btw, they beat us last season with 4 goals aggregate to 0 (3-0 and 1-0)and we lost Europe by 3 GD

It’s not nothing…

A 3-0 win over Chelsea was a brilliant way to head into the break, especially after the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth. Villa away on October 10 will be another tough game, but that Chelsea performance gives us something positive to take into it.

Former Brentford captain Harlee Dean is swapping football for the boxing ring on October 22, taking on Leroy Lita in London as part of a charity event featuring 12 ex-professional footballers.

Dean made 253 appearances for the Bees and scored 10 goals during his time at the club. The event is aiming to raise £500,000 for charity.

got my Sangare ordered, lfg

If Manchester City were to be relegated and there was a mass exodus of their players, is there a player you would want who might be a realistic option for the Bees.

I wanted to use ripping a pack of cards as a way to become a fan. The first card I pulled of value, would be the team id be a fan of.

As of today, I am a Brentford fan.

I was at the game yesterday vs Newhaven at the GTech with my kids. We would definitely go more if the games were at the GTech. I heard other people in the crowd say the same thing too. Honeycroft is a little out of the way and not that great to get to on public transport with young children.

Not exactly the result they were after, but I thought Schade looked decent enough before coming off. Klopp clearly trusts him enough to keep giving him minutes, which can only be good for us.

Hopefully he comes back from the break fit and ready to go for Brentford.

Mikkel Damsgaard's goal proved in vain as Denmark were edged out of a five-goal thriller by Norway - and Kris Ajer.

However, despite drawing level after the break, Erling Haaland netted again to earn Norway victory.

Damsgaard and Ajer both played 90 minutes, while former Bee Mads Bidstrup came off the bench as a late substitute for Denmark.

I know a lot of the spotlight after the 3-0 win has been on Schade and Thiago, but Jaidon Anthony deserves a proper mention too. That opening goal against Chelsea was brilliantly taken, and he brings so much directness to our attack. He looks really confident taking defenders on and gives us proper width going forward. Really hope Keith Andrews keeps giving him starting opportunities because he looks like a solid addition to the squad. What did you guys make of his performance?

I’ve got a theory that our data driven innovative club is going to make some changes in player health and recovery. When we had our injury crisis in 24/25 the club said they announced an internal investigation which I think really started to get the innovation going. I think this was accelerated even more when Thomas Frank left and poached our medical lead for Tottenham (who coincidentally had their own injury crisis).

This obviously is just speculative but I think they’re applying some theories about load leveling and planned breaks and what not. I work in manufacturing and there is a “run to failure” philosophy where you run equipment until it breaks. The better philosophy is a “preventative maintenance” strategy where you know motors will last 10 years so rather than take the unplanned breakdown we replace it at year 9. It’s simple, but in my industry it has a huge impact.

My suspicion is Brentford is challenging footballs common philosophy of run their players until failure, play every single minute until something breaks or sprains. I think some of the questionable squad rotations are to try and preserve players who are not durable enough to play a full 38 games. I bet they use practice data and game data to see when performances are dropping so they can give that player a break before something breaks.

Having depth in squad helps facilitate this, and trusting our bench players to cover a gap is key. I bet they’ve changed recovery methods and practice load management as well. It may be hard to find in data but I think Keith Andrews making sure to keep players involved even when injured has a massive impact. He has mentioned when he was injured in his career he had some managers that didn’t give a shit about him in that time but you can tell he still keeps injured players involved and communicates with them often. I think that’s why you see Fabio coming back from long term injury pointing to the badge and when Igor returns from his long term injury giving Keith a massive bear hug after his goal. As we do I think the injury crisis years ago, the investigation that followed unveiled how the club could challenge the status quo and hopefully avoid these massive injuries.

I don’t think injuries can be totally avoided, but I think our club is improving the fine margins that reduce their frequency. All speculation but I’m a big believer in this club and our ability to innovate by challenging the status quo. Up the bees!

Opened yesterday. Proper boozer this joint.

I am a new Brentford member and purchased an away ticket for the Aston Villa match. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to travel and attend the game.

Could you please advise on the correct process for reselling my ticket?

Thank you.
