(I’m clutching at straws, perhaps, but…)

Going into Christmas, we’re above Man United in the league - and have better goal difference, too!

 

[Wise old Bee]

Thanks for that, E-Bee-nezer!! ?

Ghost of Brentford Past actually.

 

[BURFORD BEE]

It will probably be the game where City turn it around. Come to think of it, Plymouth will sack Rooney and they will have a positive new-manager bounce in the cup game. Bah, humbug.

Sod's Law. You're probably right.

I’m sure with a bit of the ‘Bee Together’ spirit we can convert you into the Ghost of Brentford Present. You feel much better for it! ?

 

[Beelated]

Until yesterday, I believe that the last time we lost our last match before Christmas was on 23rd December 2006 going down 2-0 at Carlisle when we were in League One.

So yesterday’s result was obviously an extremely rare event.

Last season, our last match before Xmas was at home to Villa. We lost 2-1.

B*gger! You’re quite correct. It looks like we’ve started a trend

Sorry, all. I just wanted to put out some positivity after all the despondency that came out after Saturday’s game. It’s sometimes difficult to comprehend people’s frustrations. We’ve got the most talented squad we’ve ever had, are playing at the highest level in the world’s most challenging league, have the most aligned club management that benefits us, the supporters, greatly, and are blessed with the most amenable and astute Head Coach in the game.

What’s not to like?

It's not enough to balance our achievements over the last ten years with the decades of gloom that preceded them. I fear I am fated to rattle my chains and constantly wander around muttering "You don't want to go up Brentford" and "Everitt out".

Saka’s ‘out for several weeks’

Make that “Going into the New Year…”

A clean sheet away from home, against a side who had a 30 million pound player on the bench (Minte), with our current severe injury crisis is a HUGE result.
Additionally, the introduction of some of our young fringe players to the side, as we will need them over the next few weeks to months. This could be their opportunity to shine.

Saka’s ‘out for several weeks’

Bukayo Saka: Injured Arsenal winger faces "more than two months" out

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says winger Bukayo Saka is likely to be out for "more than two months" after having surgery on his injured hamstring.

[Oldboy TW8 0AW]

An interesting January for the Bees is only a few days away.
The games at the Gtech are all winnable (despite our current injury list) as always, let's all get behind the team. Continue making the Gtech a fortress. The Forest game was just a blip.
Also, the two games away something can be got out of these.
Get a few of our injured players back, and the remainder of the season will see us move up the league.
COYB's and an early Happy New Year to all fellow Bees.

What’s the light green, total shots?

What’s the light green, total shots?

Total team goals scored, therefore percentage of those goals. 59% of our goals scored by Mbeumo and Wissa.

……………..unbeaten since Christmas…………

We’ve moved up the table since our first home defeat of the season. Currently 11th, above both Tottenham, Man United, West Ham and other established PL teams!!

I think we all need to think about where we currently sit in the league................................

After 18 games we sit above Man Utd, Spurs and West Ham. Unreal times. And all three have spent decent money over the years.

 

[smiffy superbee]

Being used to watching mainly third and fourth division football for decades ... it really is unbelievable to me that after eighteen matches,
we sit above Spurs, West Ham, Man United and Everton in the top division, something I could never have imagined.
THANK YOU MATTHEW!!! .....FOR US LIVING THE DREAM.

 

[Untouchable]

• We have 27 points. Last season the team who finished 18th ended with 26 points. Safety is almost assured
• Last season it took us until game week 30 to reach 27 points (the 1-1 draw with Man Utd). This season, we’ve reached 27 points after 20 matches

We could lose our next 10 and still wouldn't be in the bottom 3.

 

[Uzzzi]

Our front 3 has scored more combined than 8 other teams in the epl;
schade (5), wissa (10)and Mbeumo(13)
(28 goals)

27 points now.

I had a quick look at last season and we were on the same total at the end of March 24!

If we can just have some luck with injuries in the next 4 months, we could still make a late run for Euro places.

 

[savvy 2210]

I've just read the Guardians article on football ticket prices.
Well done Brentford on the treatment of the fans / faithful with regards to the ticket prices. Not only sensible in regards to the clubs finances but also caring for the fans, after all they do go hand in hand.
I don't live in England, I know about United's 66 quid job, but the other examples I didn't know.
Again well done Brentford.

Brilliant isnt it.

I could happily give Europe a miss. I would rather we get our squad back to full fighting levels and then go for it next season.

My worry is we are always fighting to get players back fit and always seems to be a vicious circle.

I wouldn't ever happily give Europe a miss. You never have your squad in a satisfactory place of performance and/or injuries. There will always be next season but won't always be European possibilities.

No argument here.

I would happily also warm the passport up and forego a family holiday for 4-5 away games around Europe.

What am i reading?!?!?!?!?!

Top three threads in the Team and Transfer section....................

Hickey
Rico
JDS

Im off for a lie down. If i see the three of them back in the squad this season i might just explode.

Wow can you imagine signing those 3? Real message of intent!

 

[bexleybee]

First on Match of the Day tonight id expect

 

[Beelated]

By this time tomorrow we won’t be the only PL team who lost in the 3rd round!!

Added to that…

…it would have felt worse if we’d been away from home and then taunted by a significantly higher number of opposition fans.

Keep smiling, we’ve got another game under the lights at the Gtech which is far more important and, you never know, we lost against Gillingham in a cup game and then went on to beat Man City a few days later!

 

[SmiffyBee]

QPR got hammered today.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Man City and Liverpool at home this week.

Rico is back
Hickey is back soon
Ji Soo looks very assured
Maghoma is a baller
QPR get battered everywhere they go

Brentford get a rest before playing West Ham who also won't have a cup game the weekend before.

 

[Jezybee]

With no game in the FA Cup 4th round, Valentine’s plans can be made for 8th/9th Feb. The following weekend can then be reserved exclusively for West Ham Utd (A).

cc: Thrift Corner as will be cheaper that weekend too.

 

[Pixelator]

Unforgettable things happen just after we lose 1-0 at home to a lower league team.

 

[kenbee]

It shows how far we have come as mentioned on BBC news,not as a giant killer,but as a giant killed.
