@jonjon how are brentford at set pieces? I know benrahma takes pretty much all your free kicks and corners so I was wondering whether he was actually good at them or whether it was more of a CR7 situation where he demands to take them because he is the best player? 

His shots on goal from free kicks have been poor,that’s all I could say negatively about him.Still think he is bound for a London side though.

None of Watkin’s goals were penalties either right?

Correct,with the right support Watkins will get plenty of goals in the PL 25 mill is good value.

Oh ho - that sounds a lot like 2 of ours to fill the holes (Ken Williams gif here) left by Watkins AND Benrahma...

Not sure if Benrahma is going to you as well

I bet Brentford and Fulham fans are nervous today. Going to be excruciating for them waiting until 7:45pm for kick off. Afternoon kick offs were bad enough to wait for! 

I think Fulham’s experience will prevail and they’ll win 1-0. 

Yes very very very very very ....

Dean does double deal for Brentford Duo! Get Watkins and Benrahma when Fulham beat Brentford tonight. 

Dream on whatever the result Benrahma will be off to Chelsea and not sure if Dean would go for Watkins.

I told you that Brentford would win . It will be interesting if you keep the same strategy in the PL. You will need to keep all your best players if you want to stand a chance of staying up and shouldn't rely on undervalued players from lesser leagues adapting quickly. As a villa fan with recent experience, I can tell you that a lot of them don't  . 

Well we are not in the PL yet and if we get there unles you are a top 6 side there is no way you can keep your best players

I think Brentford will win tonight. Last game at Griffin Park will give them extra incentive and are the better team anyway. 

Won’t make any difference if we go up or not we are a selling club and apart from the January window occasionally we always sell our players if the price is right in the pre season window.Thats how we attract the players with potential and we are there route to the top clubs and most of our fans except this.

Tonight we find out if we can start doing business with Brentford. 

Yes if the worse happens Watkins will be sold and even if we go up Benrahma will be off Chelsea seem  favourites.I believe we have replacements already lined up.

Deans been on the phone to Thomas today to wish him luck,proper bloke is Dean

Yup

Brentford will probably have to sell a lot of players this summer so that will weaken then, for a while at least. 

We don’t have to sell if we go up or stay in the championship most players are on long contracts but obviously if we get bids from PL clubs that meet our valuations then they will be sold.This will leave massive funds to bring in replacements Benrahma will be off wherever we end up as it looks like there are 3 PL clubs with him on their lists as he has convinced me since the turn of the year he is PL quality.Ah well the anxiety will be over for us over the next 2hours as if West Brom win tonight that’s it we will be in play offs and we don’t win them ever.

Despite the hype - the prem to me is mind numbingly boring. Sure it's the place to be - but as a spectacle the championship blows it out of the water.

That’s my fear IF we go up

Is pinnock better than konsa ? Frank struggled with that defence for a while last year too. Looks water tight too. The 2 Danish fellas in midfield are classy too.

I would have Pinnock all day long over Konsa not saying he’s not a good player though as he’s still young and is playing in his first season in PL.When Konsa left none of our fans were that fussed although he was a good player for us it was good money and we are used to selling our players.Frank started the season with a new keeper Raya,Pinnock and Jansson in defence,Norgaard and Jensen in Midfield along with Mbeumo a wide player costing 5.5 million our record signing.losing Maupay late in the transfer window and not getting his replacement Lyle Taylor from charlton over the line caused concern but converting Watkins to centre forward although proved successful it took time for the team to gel.and some of our fans wanted Thomas Frank out after a poor start by October.The same fans who were posting Maupay was our worst ever striker after his first 10 games We all have them

You also got a fair bit in though for Maupay and Konsa - what was your net spend ? 
Pontus Jansen looked a good signing .

About 30 mill on players in and sold 36mill

Really hope Brentford come up this season, they really deserve to, a really well run club that plays good football.

Cheers for that let’s hope we can be playing Villa if we go up

I don't remember too many Brentford fans getting very upset for Smith leaving. And by the looks of things seems like Frank has finally solved Smith's defensive issues and improved Brentford a lot.

Smith isn't a Premier League level coach. Never will be.

Smith leaving us for Villa was always going to be a none brainer and most fans understood that.Yes we have finally sorted out our defence and Inproved the team in general due to our biggest ever spend in the summer transfer window.

JT knows the players and would get respect just because of his presence and reputation as a character.

Don't think it would be the worst decision ever. In this state we ain't got much to lose. We'll probably get relegated no matter what we do.

Sorry do you really think Terry has gained respect from players for his character?Do me a favour he couldn’t be further behind Dean Smith in that department.If Dean is sacked I believe it will be a long time before you get back to the PL sadly.I still think he deserves a chance till end of the year he is a decent manager.

Do you think you will win the play offs?

No 

Sounds like the best option is sticking with Dean,some of those  suggested aren’t options more like dreams.
