EFL Championship
Tuesday 3rd Nov 2020
Brentford Community Stadium
7pm KIck Off
Referee : STEPHEN MARTIN
Adam Crysell and Carl Fitch-Jackson
Fourth Official : Keith Stroud
Swansea City will visit the Thomas Frank care in the community stadium this week occupying second place in the EFL Championship. Brentford have only ever lost one game ever in the history of football at home and that was to PNE who are an I away from being wood. They lost that game 4-2 and although people didn’t dance in the streets of PINE afterwards they did venture out for a jig. Brentford are long time contenders for being not very good at getting promoted which means they are quite good, but not good enough. They get players cheaply and then sell them on for loads of money and nobody asks any questions where all the money goes. Brentford supporters are quite polite. A few seasons ago the Brentford hooligan group of around thirty people attacked a small club on the outskirts of Swansea or not that close. They were beaten back by four sixty plus year olds and a woman. Brentford are not hard.
Frank Thomas
Frank is originally from Denmark but he doesn’t know Jan Molby, he is 47 years of age but acts like he is 12. He twists his face around like a Danish gurner and makes up stories, like the person you know did something but even though it’s obvious they still lie. He is married to his grandmother which is something people called Frank do in a Denmark.
Frank Thomas, Brentford Manager.
Brentford, so what do we know ?
Brentford is in Hounslow which is in Brent, or maybe not, where there’s a river, it used to be called David but now it’s called Brentford which used to be in Middlesex. You can imagine how confused the locals are, especially with Frank banging his gums all the time talking a load of toilet. The only people in Brentford two hundred years ago were the Hardwick family, they interbred and made Brentford what it is today. Brentford is boring, in 1682 it is duly noted it rained and in 1642 there was a battle there, no doubt all the local hard men turned up and got battered by the Pensioners Militia ( over 65’s Walking sticks brigade) Brentford has to be the most boring town in Britain bar Motherwell and Kidwelly, both of whom are in Ireland.
This man fell asleep in Boring Brentford in 1986, he is still asleep.
Proof of how boring the town is ?
Well, Pocahontas lived in Brentford for about six months in a house on the site that is now the Royal Mail sorting office (next to Pets at home). Of course that’s the clincher, next to pets at bloody home. I mean Pocah bloody Hontas lived there for six months. The winter nights must fly by when that comes up in conversation. Oh hang on, William Shakespeare used to call in to some slummy old pub there on his way home apparently. I mean how much scraping of the barrel do you need to do ? One more ? Nell Gwyn ( MAY) have visited once. Joke place, joke town, joke manager, joke everything, Joke on the pitch, joke off it blah,blah,blah.
More later, I bet you can’t wait.
The more literate of the side have done a pre match day spread, no cheese sarnies though.
 Brentford v Swansea City : Ends 1-1, Referee Steve Martin's Comedy Encore 3rd Nov 2020 22:47Swansea had a stoppage-time effort ruled out as Brentford took a share of the points in an intriguing 1-1 Sky Bet Championship draw. Referee Steve Martin took centre stage when the last touch of the game gave the swans the three points, but once again Swansea found themselves on the end of another bizarre away referee decision. Thats four points snatched away from Swansea in the last minutes of an away game in two outings.  0
Ryan Bennett returns to the Swansea City defence for tonight’s meeting with Brentford, in the only change from the weekend win over Blackburn.
The defender comes into the side at the expense of Kyle Naughton, who drops to the bench.
The Swans are otherwise unchanged from the 2-0 win over Rovers, with Freddie Woodman in goal behind a back three of Bennett, Marc Guehi and Ben Cabango.
Connor Roberts and Jake Bidwell continue at wing-back, with Korey Smith and Jay Fulton paired together in midfield.
Yan Dhanda is given the chance to continue his fine form at number 10, with Jamal Lowe and skipper Andre Ayew leading the attack.
Brentford: David Raya, Henrick Dalsgaard, Ethan Pinnock, Charlie Goode, Rico Henry; Mathias Jensen, Josh Dasilva, Emiliano Marcondes; Bryan Mbuemo, Ivan Toney, Sam Ghoddos.
Substitutes: Luke Daniels, Dominic Thompson, Sergi Canos, Vitaly Janelt, Tariqe Fosu, Fin Stevens, Marcus Forss.

He had very little to do all game, but when called upon to collect a standard cross he shirked the challenge.
I like Woodman, seems a lovely lad and he loves playing down here, but he needs to improve if he wants to become a top keeper at this level, never mind the level above. |
Like I said before the Brentford lad should be our target if we go up |  |

I like Smithies down the road. I think he'd be excellent here.
Brentford keeper does look quality mind you, but his performance against Fulham in play off final sticks in my mind, he decides whether he is coming or not before the ball is even played. Works more often than not though in fairness. |  | | |

He pulled off two top class saves in the first half at least. Without him we’d have taken Brentford trousers down and given them a proper spanking. Great with ball at feet too | |

Money talks at certain clubs, you should know that, and two of them played each other last night. |  |

Lovely lads do not necessarily make good goalkeepers.
Mouthy badass ones do,like Schmeickel, an orrible bloke but a bully between the sticks
And Ive heard of reverse swing but reverse trolling .Wtf is that ,when it's at home | |

Yes agree we know all about the transfer market and if we were a big club and could afford to keep players I expect we would be in the PL by now.I would add Raya was targeted by Arsenal in the summer and we told them he wasn’t for sale( and he has since extended his contract) along with bids for other players.We did accept bids for Watkins and Benrahma and had already signed their replacements before they left.You may very well go up and maybe we will too,let’s be honest this league is wide open and when the likes of Wycombe can draw and should have beat Watford along with other unpredictable results every week..All the best for the season except of course when we play you next.👠| | | |

Incredible!! Not one single positive comment on Matt Crimes superb run and cross for the equaliser! Not one. |
No, he certainly battled and kept going. A delivery that will always cause problems which is why I can't understand why we are wasting wingers.
But, the rest of the time Grimes was on was dreadful.t
The reason Grimes gets slated isn't because he isn't liked, it's because he is routinely picked although, for most of the time, he's just not very good. [Post edited 4 Nov 2020 10:53]

Superb performance last night. Brentford's goal wasn't deserved and we could/should have had at least 3, which shows how solid we are at the moment.
We look very difficult to beat but also seem to be able to create chances. Brenfford's keeper's saves from Andre and Kyle were as good as I've seen this season. It's quite easy to see why they rejected £10m from Arsenal for him.
I was shocked by such a poor refereeing performance. I've seen bad decisions, but he was consistently poor, all against us, all night.
A couple of additional things - Jay's bringing the best out of Grimes and Smith this season. Whoever plays alongside him seems to play better. It's an early observation but his work-rate, positioning and willingness to take the ball and move it very quickly seems to make it easier for Grimes or Smith to play too.
Second thing - we lost Ben last night but Naughton came in did a great job, despite their top scorer targetting him in the air all game. It shows that competition for places is heating up as we have so many players playing well and competing for the same spot in the starting XI.
Being hard to beat is something we weren't last season, or the season before. I always expected us to concede, especially when we were winning, but I am so much calmer now. Our shape and structure are great, but maybe it's because we're physically tougher and stronger now. We have quite a few tough guys (for football!) nowadays and definitely aren't intimidated easily.
I said before the Brentford game that I would happily take two points from these two games so another draw at Norwich would be fine too. I just have a sneaky feeling that we could win that one, especially if we play like we did last night. | |

Not sure Brentford's goal wasn't deserved - they pounced on a poor pass then carved a path through the midfield and defence and smashed home an excellent shot. Really annoyed at our sloppiness but it was well taken.
Their goalie was very good positionally which made his saves smart rather than world class. naughton's was a joke.etter save imo, unexpected and players in the way. Ayew's was hit hard but as the keeper stands up he has a good chance of saving it with quick hands. In other aspects of the game he look a bit of a liability.
As bad as I thought the ref was, O'Leary in commentary didn't think he too bad.
Agree about Fulton, like Bidwell and Guehi he's much more effective so far this season. | |

Re. Brentford's goal - I meant not so deserved based on the way the game had gone so far. We didn't deserve to be losing.
Agree that the save from Naughts was the better of the two, for the reasons that you stated, but I think quite a few keepers (at this level) would be caught out by how early he took the shot. I definitely don't think he was a liability - his footwork was good and he seemed decent to me.
Re. ref - he was giving fouls for the smallest of touches. It was as if Brentford had done their homework on him, which O'Leary actually said during the game too. He fell for every little fall by the Brentford players and it seemed that every 50-50 went against us. When Lowe went through, after riding a rugby tackle by the Brentford CB, I couldn't believe that the ref gave the foul the other way. That was just one of many awful decisions, and I'm not normally someone who gets carried away with a few bad ref' decisions. | |

Kol ,for me is just banal and boring as a pundit. Trundle far far better and more enthused.
Brentford players were dropping like flies and KOL called it as such citing Tatey as being very good at dropping to the floor when under pressure and winning the free kick.
It was a disgusting refereeing performance | |
