BRENTFORD 2 SWANSEA CITY 3

Bill Hagerty witnesses Christmas arriving early as Bees gifts let Swansea snaffle the points. Had Swansea realised that Santa was going to pay a premature visit to Griffin Park and bestow gifts solely on the visitors, they might have put out a couple of mince pies and a glass of...

WBA 1 BRENTFORD 1

Stewart Purvis was in the away end at the Hawthorns to see something special happen there at 90 minutes. Yes it was “daylight robbery’, a ‘steal’ and a ‘smash and grab raid’ after a ‘one sided match’, but just for once it was our daylight robbery, our steal that got...

BRENTFORD 2 SHEFFIELD UNITED 3

Bill Hagerty sees Bees sink lower in the table as the Blades put them to the sword. Fifteenth and in apparent freefall, with the following evening’s results likely to make the position even worse, the Bees managed for the first time in years to lodge a truly disturbing thought in...

BRENTFORD 1 MIDDLESBROUGH 2

Bill Hagerty watches feisty Bees win the numbers game while losing a quality contest. Nineteenth-century Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli is credited with having observed that ‘there are three kinds of lies – lies, damned lies, and statistics’. Well, some things don’t change, in politics and elsewhere, with the particular elsewhere...

QPR 3 BRENTFORD 2

Bill Hagerty reports on a wet afternoon at Loftus Road when a disappointing Bees’ collapse dampened the spirits. We all know that football is a game of two halves, but did Brentford have to demonstrate the truth of the phrase quite so dramatically in losing this London derby?

BRENTFORD 2 MILLWALL 0

Bill Hagerty sees the Bees return to early-season form and dispose of south London bruisers. If the minute’s silence to honour those from both clubs who fell in past conflicts, coupled with helicopter crash victim, Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, wasn’t poignant enough, the sight of Ollie Watkins honing his...

NARROW MARGINS

Greville Waterman looks back on Brentford’s winless run and is surprisingly optimistic about the future. I am trying to distract myself and take my mind off Saturday’s local derby against Millwall that is now looming on the horizon.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

Greville Waterman wonders what's next in a season that promised so much but now threatens to be an anti-climax. Well it was all looking so good at halftime on the 18th September. The Bees were firmly ensconced in second place in the Championship with the plaudits of all the pundits...

NORWICH CITY 1 BRENTFORD 0

Donald Kerr reports from Carrow Road on what he calls ‘a different defeat’. When a team goes on a bad run, there is often a similar pattern to the games and a seemingly certain inevitability to the results. However, for those of us that made the long trip to Preston,...

PRESTON NORTH END 4 BRENTFORD 3

Stewart Purvis joined the other 267 Bees in the away end at Deepdale. If you didn’t see the game in full don’t be misled by the score or the highlights, a seven goal thriller this definitely was not. If you saw the whole thing you’ll know that you can’t give...

BRENTFORD 0 BRISTOL CITY 1

Stewart Purvis sees Frank’s first day fall flat. Brentford's Danish Head Coach Thomas Frank says his football philosophy is 'togetherness between staff and players'. All very ‘hygge’, the Danish way of creating wellness and contentment. It was all very togetherly before Frank's first game in his new role at Griffin...
