    Commentary has talked about little else but what a wonderful season Brentford are having and all the great statistics. Vainly hoping this is complacently tempting fate.

    Are you really going to make an argument that Elanga was worth 10 places in the League?

    That's a strong goal of the month contender. Brilliant play by Aina from one end of the pitch to the next, and a superb finish.

    We've missed Aina.

    What an incredible passage of play. A pass straight into touch, some near Sangare suicide, Aina dribbling like a drunkard and then that finish out of nowhere.

    Fair enough. "Worthy of note" was a little unfair to him, but my point is that we didn't gut the team or sell any key lynchpins.

    I was just talking about Aina getting torched in defence and then he goes to do that with Jesus being fucking brilliant. What a goal. Can we not play out the back please!!!!!

    We didn't strengthen the "team" either. We padded the squad, but if you want to progress, you improve on what you have. We signed back-ups.
    Certainly, should have been looking to upgrade in goal and CF (I think everyone accepted Sels and Wood (and Elanga) overachieved last season), and new wingers (sold as an upgrade) have not worked out yet. Douglas Luiz looked like an upgrade on Sangare, but his injury problems were well known.
