The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

Show Notes

Beyond The Breakdown is back for its first episode of the new season, with Jacob "The Gowler" Gowler and Matt “The Allard” Allard diving into the stats and tactics behind Brentford’s unbeaten campaign so far

How good were Brentford against Spurs? Were Tottenham simply poor, or did the Bees completely dominate them? And what do the stats say about Sangaré’s impressive start?

Then it’s on to Leeds, where Brentford produced an excellent first half before things went wrong after the break. Sunderland also comes under the microscope - how did they disrupt Brentford, and what did Keith Andrews change at half-time?

Was Brentford lucky to escape Bournemouth with a point? And with Yarmoliuk, Jensen and Damsgaard all options at number 10, who plays when - and which option best suits different opponents and game situations?

Then there’s Chelsea - a brilliant 3-0 win, but were there still warning signs in an imbalanced attack and the problems defending down Brentford’s right wing?

The lads also look at what the stats tell us about Jannik Schuster and how he has settled into the Brentford side

Looking ahead, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Hull are next under the microscope - their strengths, weaknesses and where Brentford could cause them problems. And will Hull’s good fortune continue?

Plus - the all-important question...

How many points will Brentford pick up from the next three games?
