Retrospective ban no doubt but with all the tech available I don't understand why that can't be brought to Refs attention at half time and he is then sent off at half time. Retrospective ban on Maupay would favour the next teams Brentford are due to play - but if Maupay now scores winner for Brentford tonight then Villa won't give a flying shite about a retrospective ban for a guy who shouldn't be on the pitch now.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Brentford look quite possible to win here, certainly not their best. The mark of a fine side that IMO. Usually it's about the possession, mini tiki taka for them but this would be a very impressive result that would make people sit up and take notice.

Agreed on that. Let's he fair he did a great job there, thinking more his style of play and mismatch with Stoke's resources/expectations/game requirements. Derby he did okay...but no more I'd say.

Yeah stylistically- absolutely. That's what I mean, reactive manager- negative almost. Forgot about Burton, definitely showed his promise there.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Kodjia again for 2-2! @Tomarse Hard to say with Bolton- amazing start, and their style is very hard to counteract.

It's learned helplessness, resigned, hopeless. Other clubs with less "budget" than us do more and better than us. Preston finished 7th last season. If we do enough things well, properly, professionally, on and off the pitch, we can finish amongst the big guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have great admiration for Brentford and would love to see them go up at the expense of one of the arrogant bigger clubs but perhaps we can make a comparison when they have sold their 3 best players then get hit by injuries. The argument that team x have done it - and Brentford haven't yet - so we should applies to every similar or indeed bigger club in the league. In that context most teams in the league are failures. Why the hell didn't we go for Watkins though?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the capacity of Griffin Park is but I saw on the news today that the Bees new stadium will have a 17k capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
