On this week’s episode, Craig and Dan reflect on the MASSIVE 1-0 win away at Aston Villa. It looked as though our winless run at Villa Park was set to continue after Kevin Schade’s first half red card for a kick out at Matty Cash. But Dango Ouattara’s first goal since returning from AFCON, coupled with a huge defensive shift in the second half, meant Keith Andrews masterminded Brentford’s third win over Villa this season. We chat about the red card incident, defending as a unit, and the upcoming trip to Newcastle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest. Igor Jesus’ goal sent Forest on their way to only their third win on the road in 11 before Taiwo Awoniyi sealed all three points late on. We chat about the injuries to Mikkel Damsgaard and Kristoffer Ajer, Keith Andrews’ reluctance to use Reiss Nelson and Romelle Donovan, and Brentford’s upcoming run of fixtures: Aston Villa away, Newcastle away and Arsenal at home.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan dissect the 2-0 defeat away at Chelsea last Saturday. Brentford were left ruing missed chances following a positive performance that unfortunately ended with Liam Rosenior’s first Premier League points in charge of Chelsea. We chat about the multitude of spurned opportunities in front of goal, whether Kevin Schade is being unfairly scapegoated, and if Romelle Donovan needs to start seeing more Premier League minutes after his debut at Stamford Bridge.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on Brentford progressing into the fourth round of the FA Cup, the latest transfer ongoing at Jersey Road, and a trip to Stamford Bridge at the weekend. A comfortable 2-0 win at Hillsborough set up a standout fourth round cup tie away at National League North side Macclesfield - we chat about the strength in depth we now have, and what a cup run would mean to the fans. Kaye Furo put pen to paper and followed in the footsteps of Igor Thiago by becoming the second Club Brugge striker to trade Belgium for the Premier League.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan look back on a SPECTACULAR night of football at the Gtech, as Brentford beat Sunderland 3-0 to climb to FIFTH in the Premier League table. Two more goals from Igor Thiago, as well as Yehor Yarmolyuk’s first senior goal, secured all three points to Keith Andrews side in a statement victory at home. We chat about even more penalty heroics from Caoimhin Kelleher, Vitaly Janelt’s continued inspired form, and Igor Thiago making history by becoming the highest-scoring Brazilian in a Premier League campaign.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Callum and Dan reflect on a HUGE away win at Everton, and a point at home against Spurs. Thomas Frank returned to the Gtech and gave us a very Brentford performance… against Brentford. That culminated in a boring 0-0 draw, but there was nothing boring about Keith Andrews’ side’s win away at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Igor Thiago’s hat-trick meant the Bees start 2026 in SEVENTH place, just a point outside of the Champions League positions. We chat about the Vitaly Janelt remontada, Mikkel Damsgaard’s inspired return to the XI, and Sunderland at home on Wednesday night. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Dan and Callum reflect on the 4-1 demolition of Bournemouth at the Gtech. A Kevin Schade hat-trick, as well as a fortuitous Bournemouth own goal, sent Brentford into eighth place in the table, with the result meaning we have accrued the most points ever at this stage of a Premier League season. We chat about Schade’s 10/10 performance, January targets for Phil Giles and Lee Dykes, and a different kind of performance from Igor Thiago.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on a huge 2-0 win away from home against Wolves. After a fairly uninspiring first half, Brentford - and Keane Lewis-Potter in particular - ensured Bees fans would go into Christmas with three points. We chat about KLP’s performance and why it’s an important period for him, the league table ahead of Christmas, distinguishing between playing style and the managerial appointment, and Brentford’s upcoming run of fixtures.

Dave Azzopardi of Talking Wolves joins Mike ahead of Brentford’s trip to Molineux on Saturday. Rooted at the foot of the table, and having only amassed two points all season, Wolves come into the game on Saturday desperately needing a win to keep their slim hopes of Premier League survival alive. Dave highlights concerns from the Wolves support over the current ownership structure which led to protests at Wolves’ last home game, Rob Edwards’ start to life as manager, and how he expects Wolves to set up against Brentford.

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan dissect the 1-1 draw at home against Leeds, and talk about the future of Keith Andrews at Brentford. It was a frustrating afternoon for Andrews’ side at the Gtech, but it looked as though we’d gotten away with it when Jordan Henderson slotted him his first goal in red and white. But Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s header meant the spoils were shared in West London. We chat about our style of play regressing under Andrews, why we keep dropping points from winning positions, and the project under Andrews in the long term. We also talk about our upcoming games against Man City in the Carabao Cup, and a MASSIVE trip to Molineux on Saturday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on two more defeats on the road, at Arsenal and Spurs. Despite a decent performance at The Emirates, and despite resting key players against Mikel Arteta’s side, the reunion with Thomas Frank at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was one to forget for Keith Andrews and Brentford. We answer all of your questions, talk about the horrendous away record with important games coming up away from home, and preview a visit from Leeds on Sunday. Learn more about your ad choices.

Flav Bateman of The Fighting C**k joins Mike ahead of a reunion with Thomas Frank, as Keith Andrews’ Brentford travel to Spurs on Saturday. Frank started the season well with good performances against PSG in the Super Cup and Man City in the league, but since then, it’s been difficult for our former boss, with the football stale, the results infrequent, and the home form abject. We chat about the sentiment towards Frank, the strength of Spurs’ squad, whether Lilywhites fans believe our former gaffer can turn it around, and the magnitude of the game on Saturday.

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on another three points at home, this time against Scott Parker's Burnley. The game looked to be heading for a boring goalless draw on what was a frustrating afternoon for Keith Andrews' side. But it burst into life in the final ten minutes, with Igor Thiago putting Brentford ahead from the spot, before being pegged back by a Burnley penalty, and then Thiago netting his second of the game and 11th of the season to put the Bees back in control. We chat about Thiago becoming the fastest player to reach double figures in the Premier League for Brentford, Keith's changes to the lineup that saw Mathias Jensen and Aaron Hickey return, and our trip to The Emirates on Wednesday night.

Joe Redmond of Turfcast joins Mike for a preview of Burnley’s trip to the Gtech on Saturday. The Clarets come into the game on ten points in 19th place, but performances this season have been fairly encouraging from Scott Parker’s side. We chat about the season so far, Parker’s approach to staying in the Premier League, and key personnel to look out for on Saturday. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week’s episode, Mike and Dan reflect on yet another defeat on the road, this time away at Brighton. Brentford seemed in control in the first half after Igor Thiago netted his ninth goal of the season, but two goals in the second half from Danny Welbeck and Jack Hinshelwood means Keith Andrews’ side dropped more points from a winning position. We chat (again) about Keith’s in-game substitutions, why Reiss Nelson isn’t getting any game time, and why Burnley will be a different kind of test for Brentford at the Gtech.
