Brentford FC - Come on you Bees
Discussion
Certainly was - and I feel teams are doing what we did last year - high press, pressurise the other team into mistakes.
We have looked flat, lost the energy a bit (like when we went through the bad spell last season).
We seem to have stopped pressurising teams.
Few key games after the chelsea game I feel, wolves and nots forest we need points from. Especially as we have played more games than some teams below us.

See frank is linked, he won't go - or imho would be made to go. Bigger club, but no way as set up as we are.
I hope he doesn't go either.....Villa have already poached one Bees manager, let them go and poach one from another club instead...(although you could understand why Smith left given it was the club he had supported growing up, who's going to ever turn that down)
I can't see Tuchal or Poch going there either.
I don't think frank will go, I can't see it tbh.
How many managers have left brentford and then not done well, Rosler, warburton etc all haven't done anything since brentford.
Money would be good for frank, and I know he won't be at the bees forever, but I don't think he would leave now to go to villa.

Two huge games up next, in Wolves and Forest given last game before the WC break is at the Ethiad, and our away form is hopeless this season.
We've got to stop loosing points to teams below us, and despite our away form, a loss to Forest away and only a draw with Wolves would see us hovering just above the relegation zone come start of the WC break, or even in it.
We need a min of 4 points from those two games, preferably all 6 to keep a bit of a points barrier between us and the relegation zone, as there's now just 3 points between us in 10th and West Ham in 17th and only 5 points between us and Forest at the bottom.

I do fear for our season if we don't pick up points in the next two games. We seem to do well against the "bigger" clubs and then do a typical brentford and loose to teams below us.
Lets be honest the next two games are big, might as well write off the man city game as won't get anything from that.
Just looked a bit shaky in defence, we did well against chelsea in closing them down, if we don't play this way we seem to loose.
Hopefully with not too many players at the world cup we can re group over the winter, and have our players nicely refreshed to push on come end of december / jan due to the number of games in a small space of time.

While its fair to say about writing off the points, we need to be wary of shipping too many goals in that match given we shipped 4 to Villa ffs..........a huge goal mauling by Haaland and Co, could be mean a huge GD to deal with if we get into a relegation battle.gazza5 said:
Based on our current away from home performances - not looking forward to forest or Man City currently!
Indeed.Not getting a win against Wolves at home could be very costly, and pretty much means we have to get a win away against Forest, but I'm not hopeful of that given our away form. A point is absolute minimum needed, but if we loose, then as I said before, we'll likely be staring down the relegation zone barrel come the WC break.
I suspect that's where we would have been last year from January onwards had we not signed Eriksen on a free.
I suspect the relegation battle this year will be a close fight between about 5 or 6 teams.....and I'm afraid on current form, the Bees will be one of those.
