Not scary but intimidating. This is a thread for match reports but you have to have a pop. D@@k
And you can see AJ asking for the ball after ref gives it...you are one of my favourite players of all time judgie, but move "away' from the penalty spot![]()
Not being picky but he is telling Toral to take it I think
Douglas now out for Millwall with booking?
Great to be on a coach instead of car or train although nightmare journey back with M1 closures, I felt sorry for the driver. Got back to car after 2 to find it covered in ice, winter is really here!
Brilliant atmosphere all round, some electrifying play from the Bees and I now feel a bit more confident in our pens.
Only downside were the 3 or 4 elderly gents behind us, pleasant enough but when we had a bit of a sticky spell in the second half their moaning reached fever pitch. If I sat in front of them at GP I'd lose the will to live!

After everything that has gone on, how can we still be going into games with players not knowing who the designated penalty taker is?

I can't stop smiling. Sheer panic had set in after Bolton but now all is good !!
Gives JD a rest at least which he may have needed soon anyhow
Work hate me!
Beagrie always gives us some praise tbh and has said quite a few times that we deserve we bw where we are .The geezer on Sky Sports doing the live reports was a joke. Just after half time " If Forest score now and make it 2-1 Brentford could buckle under the pressure "... Then it was 3-0.... " Forest need to score soon and they could be back in the game "... When Forest did score... " There are still 5 minutes left and there will be lots of added on time" ..... Well done mate, good unbiased reporting, you must have been gutted![]()

Good comment by Peter Beagrie the other night on FL72....."Bournemouth and Brentford in the Premier League,now that would be interesting "
Not sure. If we rented, say, Craven Cottage, Bournemouth might go for St. Marys or the Amex?At least we wouldn't have the smallest capacity in the Prem![]()
Un oeuf!Bit like the French chef - he lost the huile d'olive!!

Don't worry about it: it suits us quite nicely to be dipping under the radar. I like the fact that opposing fans only realise we are not 'little Brentford' any more after we have given their team a sound beating!![]()

FL72 Midweek Review a disgrace!! Didn't even mention Brentford were playing Forest when showing the goals, all the emphasis was on how bad the home team were.
Only a congrats as an after thought.....shame on you Sky!!
Who do we think will replace JD on Saturday, not sure we have a natural replacement for him with Mac injured, I think Tarky could probably do a job there but would
be out of position? Thoughts?

I have not seen it . But it look like Beagrie was not on it . If he had of been it would he would have given us some credit . He did on monday's show when the talked about us beating Derby . That Birtles is a forest fan and former player.FL72 Midweek Review a disgrace!!

A chilly night on the Trent for all at the City ground but the Brentford faithful were warmed by the sizzling show Warburton's team put on last night.
If Preston Away last season was a statement of how the Breadman was going to do things, then last night was show to the footballing snobs of Premiership and beyond that the new world order of the Championship is not about how big your club name or history is but how you play and boy did we play.
Jota was dropped for Pritchard, a masterstroke by the Breadman. Two luxury players has not worked on our travels but one flair player provided the fireworks last night. After quietening the crowd, Brentford exploded into life, Moses sprinted forward 25 yards, into Gray, back to Moses, a clatter of bodies into Moses, the ball fell to Toral 16 yards out, who sizzled a left footed pearler into the top right corner. Nil 1 another goal from the classy Spaniard.
Then sub Lichaj who came on for the injured Hunt who had clattered Moses, head down no checking, first touch passed short and back to Darlow, Andre stood in between and accepted his early Christmas present and danced round Darlow and shot home from 12 yards. Nil 2 and the boos rung round the City ground as the Bees danced and celebrated. Manager Pearce arms folded, outfoxed by our Games Master
We were a league above Forest on the night, Toral to Douglas, a brilliant through ball and Douglas side footed wide from 8 yards, a harder to miss than score moment. Forest defence breached more often than the ports of Calais. Next Judge as brilliant as ever, skinned Lichaj and stood a ball up for Toral to head in from 6 yards, header blocked, Toral head in hands, next Gray intercepted Laschelles back pass and Darlow made a fine blocked save. Forest at Sixes and sevens as we should have been at sixes or sevens up at the break. :looks:
Forest were pants and their pants were being pulled down in a footballing master class, we were scintillating. Pritchard his best game for the Bees, inventive, clever and tricky our Artful dodger picking every midfielders pocket, post match every Forest fan I spoke to asked me who the midget No.21 was. Toumani and Douglas ran through Ince and Lansbury like two bullies in the school playground, Lansbury nutted Dean who fell like a Royal Oak and sprung back up to tell Lansbury a few words anglo saxon words of wisdom.
Assombalonga warmed up on his own at half time as the City ground resembled a library of stunned silence to their side being schooled by the Bees. A few minutes in and another triangle of passes and Douglas placed Gray away, Andre panther like, pounced and ran Wilson round the outside, hauled down, definite penalty. Pritch took the ball and placed it down the middle, we all roared, 3 nil up away at the former Double European Champions, this was history of a different kind, this success tasted very sweet.
Gray twisted Mancienne this way and that, the Forest captain doing a poor mans Chubby Checker routine as he held his head for a foul or was it dizziness as Gray pawed forward and past him and forced Darlow into a top turnaround. More pass and move and Pritch to Judge who curled a beaut from 20 yards past the right upright.
In between Forest smacked a few shots in, Button saved brilliantly from Antonio 20 yard sizzler and Fox pinged a 20 yarder in. Toral took a knock, replaced by Jota, Andre by Big Nick and Dallas at right back for Moses as the Breadman shuffled his ingredients.
Antonio cut inside from Jota and blitzed one past Button from 30 yards, another worldly, but we were not to be outdone, whistle blown and we celebrated on a very special night.
Our team is gelling before our eyes, Button superb, Craig and Harlee immense, Moses our new right back and king of assists, Jake as good as ever. Douglas, Judge, Pritch and Toumani a fantastic cocktail in the middle with Toral proving a goal scoring addition of flair and intelligence. Gray, one of his best games, this boy is gonna be worth some money. Pace power and a goal plus penalty assist on the night. This is the house that :warbs: built, it has the foundations and we are going to create mayhem over the next few months.
Fantastic days to be a Bee, Derby and Forest despatched in 4 days, we have not had it this good in most of our lifetimes. On to 'Wall on Saturday and Saturday can't come soon enough. Supporting the Bees is not being on a rollercoaster anymore we are on a juggernaut gathering speed that is scattering the big boys like nine pins all over the Championship wasteland. Full steam ahead, this journey is not gonna stop for a little while yet. Get on board, it's the most fun any of us have had in years!![]()
They all get another break after this weekend anyway, he'll just get an extra few days!
No game after Millwall until the 21st November when we meet, erm..... who is it now? Damn, forgotten their name, someone local I think....... :shrug:

During a four hour journey home don't think we were mentioned once on TS didn't
Matter couldn't stop smiling ??
in the last few months we have beaten all four of the teams Brian Clough managed in the top two divisions. This pleased me.
