Thomas Frank

[taxi driver]

I guess Micky Adams would have been the last to make the list?

He played himself at Luton ?

 

[westendbee]

I genuinely don’t get why other clubs fans hate him so much.

Probably just bitterness.

I genuinely don’t get why some of our “fans” hate him…

 

[TW3Bee]

Bournemouth fans didn't like TF tapping his watch.

Maybe if they weren't time wasting from the first minute, he wouldn't have to do it.

 

[ruislip bee]

I thought it was Princess Di and Elton John.

Did Romaine have a hand in it?

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

My all time favourite Brentford manager.

 

[Indian Bee]

My all time favourite Brentford manager.

I loved the Perryman era and how but i agree TF is my fav Brentford manager. For the success he has had over the last two years and considering the stick/ abuse he has endured he is my fav. For a manager to take us in consecutive seasons to a game away from the promise land is one hell of an achievement. I hope he is enjoying his red tonight. He deserves it.

 

[badgerbee]

Brilliant from Frank before the game. Jogging around the whole pitch. Class.

Twisted his ankle and had to ice it I gather!!!

 

[To Bee Someone]

He was wise to the fact that the crowd would have a massive impact on the game and geed us up in his pre match interviews and his lap round the ground.
I was stunned by that Bournemouth goal but even more surprising was how quick the fans woke from our stupor. We lifted the team and they were immediately on it.
Today illustrated what makes football so enjoyably daft, unpredictable and addictive. Devastatingly heart wrenching at times but beautifully euphoric at its best. Few things match the catharsis of football, it's unrelenting ability to draw us back in for another hit.
Other fans can say what they like about Thomas but he fully understands what football means to people especially in these difficult trying times and he knew in calling us out to give our best support was just as vital as any player on that pitch.
I'm proud and delighted for him today. He deserved that.

 

[condorman]

Him walking the pitch perimeter today to get the crowd going was absolutely bloody brilliant

 

[Mr Cynical]

Def best manager since I've been going, hands down. So bizarre that some on social media still have Frank Out going on... Got it absolutely bang on today. Sure we'll be practising defending from our own corner though!!

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

.Where did he go to at the end of the game? Didnt see him go around the pitch with the team.

 

[Dazza]

.Where did he go to at the end of the game? Didnt see him go around the pitch with the team.

He was there, he did it a little behind the team, was slapping hands with the front row all down the north stand and saying "one more to go"

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I believe he is much more calculating than we might think. Quite literally method in some of his madness.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Ah must of missed him then. We were in the North.

Love this man. Perfect fit for our club.

Agree. The Forss sub was spot on.

He did

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

He did

Brilliant.

 

[badgerbee]

Has there been any comments on the reason for the defensive f**k up for their goal yesterday?
Was it ‘simply’ caused by the late withdrawal of Norgaard, and confusion over who should be our last man at corners?

Dunno but they continued to do it !

 

[jimmycisabee]

I hope he stays for many years he has developed a great connection with the fans and always gives 100 percent.

 

[bexleybee]

Has he been given one of those expensive watches made from pieces of GP yet? I fear his existing timepiece may have been tapped excessively yesterday

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

agree......he even came over to shake my hand after and i congratulated him on taking some of my critisisms on board and he even thanked me for airing them on here and pointing him in the right direction ........we are now firmly bestest of friends and will be 'getting a room' if we win next sat......ive told him no travelodge though lol

great scenes before and after and his 'joey jones of cfc circa 1981' running round the pitch before the game will long live in the memory......great work danish fella

Got a text from him last night "Have you got the phone number of VftB as I'd like to take his advice for this coming Saturday". Had to reply "no, sorry!"

 

[TorbayBee]

Was Roy Keane there yesterday?

 

[GuyBee]

Interestingly Emiliano, who hasnt started for weeks, 'earned' the penalty
Bryan who hasnt generally started recently caused the red card
Yanelt, who probably wouldnt have started if Norgaard hadnt been injured scored the 2nd
and the 3rd was set up by Emiliano (see above) and scored by the sub (who has been starting) Forss

That's either inpsired team management or raises a question as to why did he wait till yestersday to make those decisions. You payes your money you take your choice.

What I will say is that he got the timing of his subs right, I do sometimes feel hemakes them too late

I think it more indicates the overall coaching and team bonding – a completely aligned focus and tactical understanding no matter who plays or what role they play.

I think Roeslev came in when CN injured.

Reminded me of the cup game a few years ago vs Swansea and Daniel James breakaway goal

 

[badgerbee]

Similar, but at lleast James had to beat 2 or 3 Bees players using his pace for that one…….

 

[GP200]

................and Derby away a few seasons ago,the game Sergi was sent off................

 

[Mr Cynical]

................and Derby away a few seasons ago,the game Sergi was sent off................

Yes when Maceachran was the only man back!! ?

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Yesterday Mr Frank joined MA in my top loves when it comes to Brentford managers. That sprint around the pitch was exceptional. We needed it and he knew that. The whole set up and prep was geared towards getting the fans roaring.

 

[ruislip bee]

Yep. Rico should have been covering

Yes ?thought the same when he done that was actually at a few games at the bridge when joey Jones used to do that waving his fist in the air.

Dunno but they continued to do it !

Did anyone else notice that after their goal, when we got our next corner, Pontus was clearly unsure (reluctant?) to go forward again, looking towards the dugout for instructions, meaning they had to wave him forward?

Must say I was bricking it for fear of a repeat.

 

[aawharris]

Serious. Marcondes stepped in to try and win a ball but didn't. Left a big hole. It happens.

I did notice that.
The only thing he did wrong all game.

 

[Silly Hat]

Somebody please make this into a T-shirt

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

Yes, wtf indeed ? Reminded me of that goal Utd conceded in Europe a couple of months ago, everyone was asking why wasn’t Solksjaer screaming at his players to get back (as he was on the half way line at the corner). Same could be asked of Thomas for this game.
Either way, the Forss sub was perfect, one more game and the man is a Brentford legend.

We got caught at Swansea by Daniel James in a similar fashion when he was at Swansea.

 

[alikat]

We got caught at Swansea by Daniel James in a similar fashion when he was at Swansea.

But he had to get past one or two of our players on the way to our goal, didn't he?

 

[ruislip bee]

Yep that's what I thought too.

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

But he had to get past one or two of our players on the way to our goal, didn't he?

True but still caught with pants down.

 

[Indian Bee]

What I loved about TF on Saturday is that he really went for it with his subs. Brought Forss on at HT and what took Vitaly off 15 mins after his goal and brought on Ghoddos. Even without Norgaard, Rico and JDS on Saturday we had real options on Saturday and this Saturday it may be a case of whom has the better bench. I am positive that TF will be bold again in his substitutions on Saturday. No regrets.

 

[Indian Bee]

My Manager. Expecting @Voice from the Braemar to buy him a pub now. What an amazing job he has done. Thank you TF ans the rest of the
Management team. A class act ! Heard you are getting drunk tonight - like we all are! Cheers ! My Dane !

 

[Mr Cynical]

Best and most successful manager of the modern era. Got so much right this season. Doesn't shirk from making the tough decisions and learns from his mistakes. All those Frank Out tossers can just f off!!

 

[Untouchable]

But we haven’t got enough players.

Frank out!

 

[IslandBee]

But we haven’t got enough players.

Frank out!

Missed a trick in both windows. The DOFs need to go as well!

 

[martinlofnes]

Changing from 433 to 352 saved the season. Second leg vs Muff and the final, he got it spot on. So impressed.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

On par with Martin Allen as the most likable manager in our history.

Take a look at all the stats and his final achievements..... the best manager this club has ever had.

 

[Friji]

Would want to see nobody else lead us in top league, he's earned this.. 100%.
