And we wouldn’t have either.
A good point and I was very pleased for him.Never forget him going to see him very poorly dad before the PO final and telling him he was going to be a PL manager,

No surprise sadly Norwich was a bad move so soon after Villa but I expect his pay off will cushion the blow.Thoroughly decent honest bloke but have to say limited as a manager but another product of the Matthew Benham project.Dean has a history at all his clubs for going on long losing runs but follows up with decent results to save him.His last bad run at Brentford ended when Thomas Frank joined and we stepped up our performances so much so that he caught the eye of a few bigger clubs and off he went.I honestly don’t think we would have made the Premier league had he stayed.I hope he has a good break comes back and gets another job at a decent club.

yeah it's probably next season you want to be concerned about.
fancy taking watkins back?
Not many I’d take back but definitely Watkins although I doubt if we could afford him.Have him over Toney all day long

Wonder what the odds are on this ending his season.
Wonder if this investigation goes on till the end of the season.Most likely when you look at their history on deciding punishments.

I agree that’s why he’s heading north

Fiver?
Wouldn’t bet on it but Toney has his legal team talking with his clubs so I’m not expecting him to plead guilty.So in that case I haven’t seen in previous cases where the accused has been prevented from playing.But then again if some of the outrageous incidents that are appearing on social are proven then he will never play again
-
He has been charged so has not been found guilty Yet.Seems strange that this has been going on for 17 months not the 7 being stated in the press so can’t be as straight forward as it appears.This could.take many many months to reach a conclusion so those posting that it will impact Brentford’s season are way off.If he is found guilty of fraudulent betting ie being involved in the bet he could and should be looking at a massive fine and ban.How much more money do these highly paid players need.

Not sure if you were great or we were just crap I expect it’s somewhere in the middle although you came out the trap like greyhounds.Better atmosphere than I thought there would be and we were shell shocked after 15 mins.Our injury list is horrendous and a club our size will always struggle but I suppose the next week will see how much impact that result has with you at home to United and us playing Wolves.I always expected days like this most weeks when we went up but that has rarely happened although Toon put 5 past us last away game.We should have our full squad available after the World Cup and think we will have a better second half to the season but if that fails I won’t shed tears if we go back to the Championship which our club is more suited to.The PL is set up for the usual top 6 occasionally one other club will break through for a season the rest look over their shoulder hoping to keep in the tv money pit.Good luck for the season your stadium deserves a good team.

Looking forward to this on Sunday few early beers in town then off to one of my favourite stadiums where I’d take a draw now.Difficult to call as we are over performing with key players still missing and Villa under performing with some superb players.
-
Thomas Frank has been great for us along with Dean Watkins Hogan Jota and many others who have disappointed where they have ended up elsewhere.
Just saying.

He couldnt get back into the Sampdoria team after he was injured most of last season, apparently his knee is **** long term
He suffered a serious thigh injury with the added issue of arthritis last season so hardly played for Sampdoria whose season collapsed mainly due to his unavailability according to a local hack.He passed his medical and has done his pre season so ready to go.I think this is a typical Brentford signing and I’m excited about this one.

Fully understand your thinking but you have to look at ourselves (Leeds) and Sheffield who had much better first seasons than you and fell off a cliff second time round. Players mentalities change, opponents approaches change and suddenly you're struggling for points anywhere. Toney has struggled for large parts of the season and Eriksen taped over some fairly big cracks in the back half of the season.
I think you'll just about be alright due to Fulham/Bournemouth/Everton/Forest being worse than you, but it won't be as plain sailing as last year.
I'd be really concerned about Damsgard too. The lad has arthritis at twenty two.
Lots have been made about Eriksens impact and on the surface it’s hard to disagree but his appearance in the first team coincided with key players returning.I’m not too bothered about Damsguaards health issue as I’m sure we will carry out stringent medical tests and get good advice as we did with Eriksen.Artritus isn’t a big deal with the medication that is now available we have a young player who has treatment for this condition.The deal for Damsguaard is far from done I would add.

second season syndrome is a real thing, its not so much about who you have its about keeping that buzz and momentum from the first season, it drops massively
hopefully they keep damsgaard fit
True and you have to have a large portion of luck as well.We played first on a Friday night last season against a gunners team in disarray missing their 2 main strikers and won 2 0.Hoping Leicester have the same problems Sunday
Not looking forward to this season as I was last it’s a hard slog this league in a different way to the championship where you have so many games.The quality in the PL is on such a higher level you have to work so much harder for every point.

The last bit is key. Everyone is constantly strengthening their squad's so you have to improve just to stand still and the top teams spend crazy amounts every season so nobody can catch up.
Yes agree

20 hours ago, bannedfromHandV said:I’m guessing there will be a lot of transfer activity yet to go before the window closes but if we assess each team thus far ‘on paper’:
Arsenal - strengthened, I think Jesus will do very well there and has a massive point to prove.
Us - strengthened, not lost anyone we’re not fully prepared to lose.
Bournemouth - no signings? Not sure the team that got promoted is strong enough to withstand relegation.
Brentford - stood still? Lost Erikssen which will be a big gap to fill, remains to be seen if the signings will compensate for that
Brighton - lost /losing some key players, much will depend on their replacements as to whether they go backwards or not.
Chelsea - strengthened, added quality for first XI and squad depth
Crystal Palace - continuing to buy some intriguing players, maybe have slightly improved team/squad so may be slightly stronger this year?
Everton - weakened, lost their best player and nothing much to get excited about with incomings.
Fulham - strengthened but is it enough for the step up, are they relying on Mitrovic to do what he hasn’t done on 2-3 other opportunities and succeed at this level?
Leeds - hard to read, lost their best player so will be hoping (not unlike us last summer) that the new players hit the ground running.
Leicester - stagnated, no incomings and one or two on their way out, if they’re relying on an ageing Vardy that could be trouble for them.
Liverpool - strengthened, despite losing Mane (thankfully, as he loved scoring against us), Carvalho looks a great prospect.
Man City - strengthened, though will be dependent on Haaland fitting in and not disrupting the flow of their game, intriguing to see how Alvarez gets on.
Man United - probably improved their first XI by getting rid of their dead wood and bringing in one or two younger players, squad depth looks poor though and if the new players don’t gel quickly I’m not sure they’ll improve much this season.
Newcastle - strengthened, Pope and Botman seem solid signings unfortunately.
Notts Forest - strengthened but remains to be seen if they’ve ‘done a Fulham’ or ‘done a villa’, lots of new players will need to come together quickly to avoid relegation.
Southampton - stagnated? Not much to get excited about in terms of incomings and no Broja this season, not sure where their goals are going to come from.
Tottenham - improved, some interesting signings you’d think will make them a stronger proposition this season.
West Ham - improved? Don’t know much about Scamacca but if he does well then you’d think they will improve on last seasons showing.
Wolves - not seen much activity on incomings, stagnated perhaps? Difficult to see where the goals are coming from if Jiminez doesn’t rediscover form.
Brentford standing still?lost Eriksen and he was a massive plus for us but we have strengthened throughout the squad
signed
Strakosha international goalkeeper
Hickey Right Back our weak position last season
Ben Mee Experienced PL defender to cover Pinnock and Ager
Damsguaard (as good as signed) to compete with Jensen as playmaker to hopefully replace Eriksen
Lewis Potter exciting winger from championship a typical Bees signing
Add to that we will have arguably our best plater Josh Dasilva back fit after missing most of last season
Halil Dervisoglu a young striker who has been on loan in Turkey is now back and in the squad for this season
Yoane Wissa signed last season struggled with injuries but finished the season strong and I believe will out score Tony this season.
I believe this squad is an improvement on last season whether that equates to finishing higher than last season remain to be seen.

Yeah that Sorensen guy you played v Everton was a disaster, gave away penalty and very lucky not to be sent off and had to be subbed half time for his own good so he's not ready to play CB in this league every week.
What's the actual plan to replace Eriksen btw? Haven't seen you get in a new AM unless I've missed an obvious signing. Hoping Da Silva can stay fit and maybe provide creativity?
Sorensen sadly not good enough at this level and Pontus not much better imho.DaSilva hopefully is over his injury problems and as Eriksen commented when he joined he’s the best player at the club so maybe can fill the void along with Jensen who on his day can find a winning pass.Will be interested to see how well Eriksen does this season with the pressure of playing for United but wish him well he was absolute class for us but we do tend to bring the best out of certain players.Very happy with our new recruits but expecting us to be fighting it out in the bottom half of the table.

Like a turd that won’t flush. Very disappointed with Brentford.
With Pinnock and Ajer both out injured a good back up signing especially as Pontus is on his last legs.

Confident of keeping Eriksen? Would mean you're pretty certain of staying up from that signing alone and would be nice story for him to repay the faith you showed by staying one more year.
From what I’m hearing it’s very likely he will sign supported by the fact he has just bought a house in nearby Richmond and his family are settled in London.He’s a big fish in a small pond at Brentford and will be a starter every week which is vital if he wants to play for Denmark at the World Cup.this year.I admit I wasn’t that excited when he signed as I thought it was a bit of a friendship favour from Thomas Frank and our Danish connections.Will be interesting to see how he holds up next season when the sentiment calms down and he gets some rough treatment from opposing defenders something he doesn’t seem to get at the moment.

11 hours ago, VillaChris said:Brentford could stay up for 3-4 seasons I think.
Ultimately though given they're a tiny club in terms of support only so long until gravity pulls you back down as we've seen with Bournemouth and perhaps Burnley this season.
I expect you will be proved right although the gap between PL and Championship is getting wider and as we have seen this season with Watford and Norwich.This will result in teams like us looking to finish above those 3 promoted clubs which is great for finances but hardly exciting for fans.Some good comments on here regarding our season and I admit I thought we would get relegated back in January.Eriksen signing was a massive plus but we also got some key players back like our keeper Raya as the 2 keepers we got in on loan were dire.Will be interesting to see who we sign this summer as we will be buying in a much more expensive market,Look forward to visiting the Villa Park again next season.hope you all have a great summer

Hoping we send Leeds down last game of the season although I can’t see Burnley getting anymore points.Everton will have some big problems next season both on and off the field.

Brentford wouldn’t have made the premier league if they hadn’t sold players to the tune of 160 million over the previous 6 years and spent 60 million on new signings.Brentford where promoted to the PL with the lowest losses of any other promoted team for over 5 years.Check out a site called the Swiss ramble makes scary reading for some.
