TheBaldOne66 697 Posted August 13, 2022 One season wonders, is that still the case? Or can people now just accept what’s gone on at NCFC for the last 13 months is the reflection of a badly organised club? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 4,975 Posted August 13, 2022 Man Utd are getting found out. I can't think of one of their players who would get in a genuine top 4 team. When you're 4-0 down to Brentford and you bring on McTominay you have a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,297 Posted August 13, 2022 I made the point a lot last season. Brentford are no Sheff Utd or whoever you want to chuck in there… exceptionally well run club on the up. A point at Leicester, then this today, fantastic start for them. United could well be in trouble this season, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they keep struggling to win games, you watch them get a few more penalties while games are 0-0 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,544 Posted August 13, 2022 It's more a reflection on Man Utd than Brentford.

I'm not saying they will go down but it is a long season to start proclaiming that they are safe already. They're one of a number of teams that can easily go down.

Ken Hairy 3,780 Posted August 13, 2022 Every reason to have envious glances at Brentford, they went up with us but finished below us yet they since spent LESS on their squad than we have yet whilst we're embarrassing ourselves at dross like Hull, they're battering Man Utd at the start of their 2nd season in a row in the top flight.

AJ 1,224 Posted August 13, 2022 Brentford remind me of us after we got promoted with Lambert. Plucky but able to compete. Will be interesting to see if they can manage another midtable finish this season as that would be a mighty achievement. Oh, and why aren't we Brentford?!

Capt. Pants 4,276 Posted August 14, 2022 The best thing Brentford did was getting shot of Dean Smith. They started brilliantly last season too, that's so important when you're looking to avoid relegation from the EPL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 664 Posted August 14, 2022 2 games in or not, Brentford look at home in the Prem. They can actually win games, they are determined and don't fold under pressure. They are an extremely well run club. We always think we are well run, but are we really? Put it this way, could you ever see a Norwich Prem side beating one of the bigger teams like Man Utd 4 nil? It'd never, ever happen. Last season Man Utd were similarly dross and we still managed to lose to them in both games we could have won, especially the home game! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
