I was just thinking that every, and I do mean every player in the team today is totally comfortable on the ball and in possession.

I cannot remember a Brentford team in the past where I could make the same claim.

.............and this is why Leon will have a hard job getting a long run in the team.............

Forrester does the flashy stuff but I just love watching Forshaw. He looks after the ball so well and is so intelligent in how he uses the ball.

Agree entirely! He uses the ball so well and makes time for himself with clever turns. I think he can cause serious damage in the middle but given Douggie, Toumani, Adeyemi and now Kiernan are all good options there maybe he is best deployed out wide for now!

Don't underestimate the willingness of our fullbacks to hold the ball in attacking positions too. They are like the cavalry at times. I do hope Shay stays.

First half today there was a lovely 'simple' two pass interchange between Forshaw and Clayton that switched the ball to the opposite side. It looked easy but its not. I've not seen us do that since the days of Mahon/Evans/Sidwell

totally agree, pleasure to watch.

Harry's goal today eptiomised the great talent our squad has on the ball!!

 

[jlove]

No player does that 'quick offload', that we were so used to, which ended up with a chase for possession. All are comfortable to hold or make an decent pass, although there are times to put it in Row Z as well. What has been especially good this week is that the opposition fans (well most of them) and management (the sane ones) have acknowledged that they were beaten by the better team. Two well fancied sides and both managers, in their own way, saying "we must take our chances" means we're defending well, too.

We're brave on he ball. Everyone wants it and everyone wants to keep it rather than an aimless punt up field to scrap for. For such a young team to play this way is a credit to the players, manager and coaches.

Agree. Forshaw is mr cool. Even with two players for company he's calm, assured and never panics.

What is their value on the open market? You see Ashley Westwood of Crewe go to villa for circa £2 mill. Forshaw and Forrester can't be far off. Not since Sinton, Rowlands, Evans etc have Brentford had players of such quality.

We have others too. I just hope we go up as it could be a struggle to hang on to 4 or 5 of our best players.

I fully agree. Well said

I go back a bit futher than you. And I cannot disagree.

It is a joy to watch it really is and it is the same philosophy with the development squad and also I believe the youth teams. It would have been quicker and easier for MB to splash the cash on experienced first teamers but most right thinking people can see this is the right way.

This crop of players could be worth a lot of money in the near future, the likes of Moore, Forrester, Dean, Logan Foreshaw etc will already be drawing attention from the scouts which is fine because we don't really need to sell at least unless the price is right. No doubt Uwe will start to catch a few admiring glances for his style of football and increasing tactical astuteness.

I believe this team has more potential than the Allen era and also the Holder championship squad. It is a great time to support the Bees. Bring on MK and County next. WE should fear no team in this league. We should also not expect to win every game or even play well every time but as Uwe said we should try to be the 12th man and help carry us onwards and upwards.
