Making Plans 861 Posted January 16, 2022 4 losses out of last 5 games Thumped again today at Liverpool 32% possession, 6 shots, 1 on target, 0 corners. Beaten 3-0 with no Salah or Marne for Liverpool Bubble bursting big time, 15th in the form table, goals drying up, Man U on Wednesday, and they're slowly but surely heading in our direction.

cambridgeshire canary 5,508 Posted January 16, 2022 Been found out. Thought it might take a little longer, had a hunch they might do the Sheffield United route of doing ok this season before falling apart the next but.. It's interesting to say the least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,042 Posted January 16, 2022 Can't see it to be honest. Two of those losses were City and Liverpool and they beat Villa three games ago. They had a run of 4/5 straight defeats earlier in the season culminating in our 2-1 win at their ground (our first win of the season) but bounced back from that - a much worse run of form than their currently one. We basically have to double the rate of points we picked up during the first half of the season, whilst they half their own. Would be a miracle. Although I do think our form will pick up, as well as Newcastle's and probably Burnley's, it will be pretty freakish if any team other than the bottom 4 gets dragged into it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 3,248 Posted January 16, 2022 Brentford still have to play Burnley, Newcastle and Watford. We don't want Brentford losing to them and draws will be enough to keep them out the bottom 3. Second season syndrome quite possibly, but I would love us to stick around to have one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Canary1 91 Posted January 16, 2022 I agree hank, think it is indeed between the current bottom 4. Watford win the next the two and it could be potentially done, mostly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disagree with that, next four games very important for them. Play Man Utd and Man City, as well as a difficult away game at Everton who will be after a new manager bounce and home game against Wolves. If they have a bad run and a few teams below them do well - us included of course, then they could easily be down just above the drop zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 394 Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I'm not pinning too much on Brentford's result today against Liverpool. They will probably survive this season and go down the next as standard for a lot of newly promoted teams. It would take a continuation of catastrophic form for them to be drawn into this but I do hope it happens. It probably won't.

cornish sam 836 Posted January 16, 2022 I think Brentford could go on a massive run of losses if they get nowt in the next 3 or 4. They may even struggle to reach 30-35 points (here's hoping) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 947 Posted January 16, 2022 Ivan Toney as well. Was the next big thing wasn't he. Won't get to double figures in goals. I think they've got enough to survive this year but you never know. There's quite often one team that gets sucked into the relegation fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex 26 Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Don't get me wrong I think Brentford are **** but I believe that they have picked up enough points at this stage of the season they would have to have a disastrous end to the season to he relegated.

Ulfotto 422 Posted January 16, 2022 The thing Brentford were never good at in the Championship was dealing with any pressure situation. If and it is a big if they get drawn I would expect them to choke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
