The Play Off Push.

[Banana]

Just a shame the f***ers didn't start three weeks earlier....

Must have really affected the tone of your fanzine

 

[Les Beeavinu]

It's going to be close - I think we'll fall short though. Notts County - what a game that's going to be.

And the rest, was at Orient just 7 games ago we were absoultely dire, no one wanted it! But there are loads of games throughout the season (many at home) where we threw it away. If we dont make it thats where we lost it.

I totally agree - here is a man who talks some sense...

[SlumanBee]

Hartlepool have been poor at home so far this season, let's hope that continues.

:yes:

A 24 hour sabbatical is in place as we speak.

It's whether anyone of the 'weirdos' is prepared to 'push the button'

Waiting........... :looks:

Not yet... if we beat Hartlepool it is a MASSIVE game.

One game at a time... beat Hartlepool and then it will be nail biting stuff. At the moment we need to keep the run going and beat the team in front of us.

So far the team hasn't dealt with pressure well, so lets try to keep it off to the last minute!

 

[Invipai]

Nah we need the team dealing with the pressure now, so that when it matters they'll be ok with it. It may be our saving grace the fact that when we get to the play off play places that we'll be underdogs.

[DavidgRushden]

its defo all on.....we win or draw at hartlepool, we MUST beat notts c and then its gonna be who has the bollards for the last 3 games....we should beat the non leaguers and then its sheff weds (the hardest one) and then win at already relegated chesterfield.....its defo ferkin all on

its saved the season from a total borefest and its got everyone going again......whatever will be will be

good work bees fella's

I wonder if Uwe had anything to do with us winning 5 games on the trot?!!!!

 

[DavidgRushden]

It's going to be close - I think we'll fall short though. Notts County - what a game that's going to be.

Should we continue on our winning ways I think the home match to Sheffield Wednesday will be even bigger. Reminds me of the play-off match with them some years ago.

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

yes, he stopped TINKERING......ive been saying that for ages, werent you bleeding listening ????

morrison has made the difference...no question

 

[nocoat]

And getting shot of that Sunbed billy to west brom may have helped team morale. Do you agree there is no place for sunbed billies at GP voice?

I think diamond earrings and flash cars were more his thing than sun beds.

 

[YorkBee]

Ive actually heard that they are bringing a certain Mr Biggar out of retirement for the Notts county Game

I dont wish to be reminded of it thankyou!

 

[BURFORD BEE]

Yes of course he has. He seems to have discovered the way to play at home and away and as VOB says has stopped messing with the team. Although I thought GA going was a disaster at the time its turned out to be for the good, we seem to have a team spirit that wasn't there before and who knows what may have been happening in the dressing room.
Douglas, Saunders, Donaldson, and I hope Karleigh are players that we can build a promotion winning team around or, you never know, one that can survive in the Championship. Lee, Logan and if we can hold onto them Dean and Bidwell and possibly Thompson are all showing that they could compete at a higher level. we have Forrester and Reeves who are developing. Next season could be a great one for us but play-offs or not we need to finish this season on a positive note.
Whatever happens now he deserves to be given the chance to develop his own side for next season and I am happy to admit that I have changed my view although certainly not to becoming a member of the RTB.

 

[josht]

It's added a bit of realistic excitement towards the end of the season - something we've not had for a couple of seasons... I personally think we may fall a couple of points short, mainly due to Carlisle getting lucky over the next few games. The matches I'd say will have cost us most would be three away games that we could have closed off - Tranmere, Bury and Colchester. Each of these games we were leading and with a bit of experience and composure we should have added an extra 7 points to out tally.

Very happy to see Uwe has turned everything round in style and I reckon a bit of momentum now will put us in an excellent position for next season (based on us not getting in to the play-offs). This run will help with team morale, give Uwe a bit of confidence and will probably help with player recruitment too.

If we carry on our winning ways and it goes down to the last couple of games, I'm going to be furios that I'm missing the Sheff Weds game! :mad1:

 

[Thorne In The Side]

Give him his due, he had a pretty good sun tan though.....even made the voice look a little on the pale side.

Yes, and good to see your comments, especially re Alexander and the other one who at 18 years of age thought he was bigger than our club! Hopefully the dressing room at BFC is really buzzing(!) at the moment and we can do what we have done before.

Nice to see you have altered your position. However, I don't think the RTB brigade ever wanted anything other than to give Uwe time [ well that has always been my position]. So perhaps you have joined the RTB

 

[DaveyC]

Scunthorpe haven't lost in their last 4 visits to Carlisle winning 3 & drawing 1

Im just saying........

 

[DaveyC]

Stevenage v Preston has got draw written all over it !

8 draws between them over the last 12 games

Im just saying.......

 

[BURFORD BEE]

And only 2 sides have lost fewer games away this season. It makes tomorrow a possibly unexpected opportunity to gain points on Carlisle and we really need to go all out for 3 points. I honestly think that if we gain points on them tomorrow with their next 3 games being against Charlton, Stevenage and Shef Wed we would be in with a very good chance.

 

[West Wilts Bee]

Thats exactly it, if we do not make it we only have ourselves to blame.

 

[BURFORD BEE]

As I have said before we are where we are. Its pointless looking at the "ifs". We have only reached our current form through evolution and the bad games, in a way, were as necessary as the good ones. I know it sounds a bit Darwinesque but thats the way I see it.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Nah we need the team dealing with the pressure now, so that when it matters they'll be ok with it. It may be our saving grace the fact that when we get to the play off play places that we'll be underdogs.

Like how you wrote when and not if Would be nice to be going into the playoffs has underdogs as oppose to finishing 3rd.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Spot on.
Every other club could say the same thing. It's football.
Many people wrote this season off way too early and now are hoping we do it but if we don't will criticise where we lost points. It was always a possibility but to be so close with so few games left is great achievement in itself. We now have a 8 point gap from 10th and on course for the target of top ten finish but not only that we are challenging for the playoffs with 5 games left. Some have said this has been a sh*t season but I think so far it's been a very good one considering what's gone on at the club, riddled with injuries and disruptions with squad players, transfers etc we've done very well, finishing strongly, but what will be, will be. I'm hoping we can make playoffs but if we don't the signs looks good for next season.

 

[moribee]

Just happy with what I have seen recently and some consistency in team selection. It's nice to see us 8th and don't expect any more other than building on this next season by signing our own players.

 

[Brentford Bob]

I have to work next Saturday.

 

[kempy]

I'm at a bloody wedding next Sat!!

 

[B2B]

I'm at a stag do.....didn't think at the time of booking that it would matter....

 

[wanderer paul]

Don't you just hate Part time supporters. :yawn:

 

[Omar]

If we need to win away at Chesterfiedl - Is their ground big enough to hold all the Bees fans that will travel ????

Away end holds 2k as standard, although they gave us (Wednesday) an extra 800 in the side stand. They'll have nothing to play for other than pride so you may get extra if you need them

I say sod off to giving Brentford the side stand, its Chesterfields groundlol

 

[Nick Hester]

Not your fault mate - Uwe and the club wrote the play offs off ages ago... that was when the 'target of tenth' started to come up...

You've done your bit.... as we all have.

b***ocks to him......he hasn't had a stag weekend for the past twenty six weeks has he?

 

[West Wilts Bee]

Whatever happens, happens, the thing that makes me feel optimistic for the future is Uwe knows exactly what we need to become a Championship club, whether we have the resources to do it is another question, but I'm enjoying the ride

As usual a really good post. I totally agree with you regarding Uwe. I have watched him for most of the season, and he has definately learnt as he has gone along, and to be honest I am liking what I am seeing.

 

[Brickie Chap]

A pretty embarrassing list of people making excuses for not attending next weeks game

 

[Herbert]

Thats exactly it, if we do not make it we only have ourselves to blame.

the way i see it is its Uwe's first season,a transition season and we find ourselves knocking on the playoffs

 

[The Librarian]

Were by far the biggest team , league 1 has ever seen and we're Brentford Fc

That is ok, but at some point you have to start learning lessons.....dont you? Its has just taken so long, probably too long for this season.
