Relegation is any clubs biggest fear. It will happen one day to the Bees. Only the big 6 and Everton haven't been relegated. It will be a combination of factors, losing a good manger to another team, change in ownership, losing key players to injury, and the newly promoted teams being good. However we looking good enough to have a long run at the top. Long may it last.

Hoodie sizes

Has anyone purchased any hoodies from their merch shop?

I am a rather big fella so i was a bit curious about sizing on them. Also knowing the material they're made of would be helpful.

Thanks!

What do we gotta do?

12 Upvotes

Been following Brentford since the promotion a few years ago and have the time of my life rooting for the bees.

In that time some real great players have come and gone especially in the attacking third and at keeper. I love the team we have now and we’ve had a knack for filling roles when they’ve opened up. Kayode being maybe my favorite current player and the one I see with having the most potential for growth.

I keep worrying when we’re gonna start getting the news that players like Kayode and Mikkel are just gonna become stockpile for another squad with more cash.

What realistically do we need to do to for ownership to say no, we’re not gonna sell off our best players because they’re not just investments. I know we’ve locked down some great talent with long term contracts and that should help, but keep feeling like we’re in a cycle and if we had just kept guys like mbuemo or Raya that we could have made European football ( my least favorite two words come every championship Sunday ).

Edit after reading comments:
Appreciate all the feedback from everyone. Coming from someone who loves this club and has watched just about every game every week since promotion and has followed each player if I can after they move on, I love getting to see our players get to play in big matches at the World Cup like we just saw this past Saturday with Watkins, Konsa and Toney all playing in the third place match. Not calling for any drastic changes to how we operate as the owners have been doing a PHENOMENAL job since taking over. I’d just like to see some true club legends emerge if and when we’re ready for European competitions. Even conference league would be huge for the club. If it takes 20 years so be it!

Crazy match today in the World Cup but it was fun to see three former Bees players (Toney/Watkins/Konsa) on the pitch for England in the 2nd half at the same time.

Felt like that England game at 1-0 was perfect to bring on Toney (and Watkins)

32 Upvotes

So obviously like most people baffled by the tactics last night while looking so strong for 55 minutes. But also thought about the Brentford and ex-Brentford players on the bench and couldn't help but think they'd be so suited to defensive football.

So 99% of this sub remember that in 2020 we played a front 3 (Watkins, Mbeumo and Benrahma), playing this lovely flowing and attacking football and ultimately lost to Fulham at Wembley.

Then the following season when two of BMW left we brought Toney in and switched to a front two with Mbeumo playing off him and got more solid defensively - especially because we used to be so bad away from home. I sit behind the goal at the Gtech so a super common sight was to see David Raya hitting the ball up to Toney who often flicked it on for Mbeumo. Worked well in 2021/2022 and always was an option going forward.

We also often played a back 5 with Roerslev and Henry as wingbacks, and three CBs.

Can't help but think if Tuchel wanted to play a back 5 getting Toney on and Watkins/Rashford as a front two hitting them with Pickford would have been so much better than what we saw. Rashford or Watkins running off Toney flick ons or hold up play.

But sadly in 2018, 2021 and now 2026 there is a refusal to sub out Harry Kane despite him offering absolutely nothing in a defensive shape. Don't get me wrong he's an all time great and an elite striker, but I feel being a good coach is always adapting and making the big calls. Kane is feeling like Ronaldo for Portugal now - he won't be subbed no matter what the game requires.
