The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

Jacob The Gowler Gowler and Matt The Allard Allard are back with another Beyond The Breakdown, digging into the stats, tactics and talking points shaping the Bees' season so far.

This time, they look at what the underlying numbers reveal about Brentford's performances, examine the tactical picture before the red cards against Brighton and Liverpool, and break down the different formations and how to read the team's structure.

They also revisit Aston Villa and Hull, including the impact the wind had on those games, before analysing the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
There's a closer statistical look at Igor Thiago, what's behind the problems when he's unavailable, and how Keith Andrews might set the Bees up without him.

And finally, attention turns to what's coming next, with Everton, Manchester United and Arsenal all on the horizon.

Plenty of stats, tactical insight and a few questions for the Bees to answer.

In Part Two of our Brentford v Brighton preview podcast, we turn our attention to Brighton and the so-called Premier League Bermuda Triangle - Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth.

We revisit Billy's appearance on The Overlap at the start of the season (click here for episode), where he joined Jamie Carragher and Les Ferdinand to discuss whether Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth could go toe-to-toe with the so-called bigger sides in the Premier League. Billy even tipped Brighton to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League.

We look at how that prediction is shaping up and whether these three clubs can really get in the ring with the established big boys.

We then get stuck into the Brighton game itself, with Russ from the Brighton Rock Podcast joining us to give us the Seagulls' perspective - their season so far, their strengths, weaknesses and what Brentford can expect.
Jacob The Gowler Gowler from Bees Breakdown brings us the stats and tactical lowdown on the match.

We also have our predictions for the game and a reminder to get your scores in at beesotted.footballscoreline.com. Billy is going for a draw, while Laney is less optimistic and reckons the Bees will come away with a defeat.

If you missed Part One, we look back at Brentford's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, with reaction from Bees fans celebrating the victory and Forest fans getting the hump over accusations of cheating and grassing. We also discuss Forest's disappointing performance, Jacob's analysis and JB's Steam Packet Quiz triumph.

Would we take Ollie Watkins back at Brentford? With his wife reportedly deciding to leave Saudi Arabia with the kids, we discuss whether a return to West London could ever be on the cards.

We look back at Brentford's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, with reaction from Bees fans delighted with another three points. We also hear from Forest fans, who have plenty to say about the accusations of cheating and grassing

There was a sense that Forest would offer a lot more after some promising performances over the past month or two. But they were well below par in West London, with their own supporters booing them off at half-time and full-time. What went wrong, and why couldn't they deliver on the promise they'd shown recently?

Jacob ‘The Gowler’ Gowler from Bees Breakdown gives us the statistical and tactical lowdown on the Forest game.

Jonathan JB Burchill brings us plenty of facts and a little bit of funk, while also finding time to remind everyone that he's only gone and won the Steam Packet Quiz

And that's not all. We'll be back with Part Two, where we look at the Premier League's Bermuda Triangle - Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth - before welcoming Russ from the Brighton Rock Podcast for the lowdown on the Seagulls.
