He may have approved them a bit, but Brentford's ridiculously good scouting team managed all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite a big ask but with a Chelsea squad member testing positive for the virus I can't see this happening either. I think the best case scenario for us is they write off the whole season....Deano steps down in the Summer...and we go again with more experience knowing that we've twice made teams up of young talent from other leagues and both times we've struggled big time to stay in the division. Our game in hand is Sheff U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McGinn back, night game, full house if allowed. I would back us to win that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another manager replaced Warburton who played a different style of football and they lost 15 million worth of talent that summer that Dean never got to manage including Andre Gray. Brentford also changed owners after Warburton to a different transfer strategy which is why he walked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Would just say our luck of this season that Covid-19 Would be the cause of us going down. Not saying it will happen but given that weve had problems with our players, our Coach's, our signings, Scouting, officating, FFP and that god damn VAR, it really has felt like a marriage and we're in dire need of some serious therapy and counselling, but Corona is here and its going to tip us over the edge. If it comes to being relegated by all this nonsense, we know well that even diseases didn't want us in the premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Every single player will be back from injury when all this is over. No one will be match fit. It will be kind of like Pre Season when the league returns. Sure as hell will be interesting to see how the teams that were on form and had momentum will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
