Probablg be our easiest game of the season that. Hit the bar 3 times in the end, dominated and could have been 5-0 easily - MK Dons were poor and could really struggle if they continue playing like that, think they managed 1 shot on target!

We were always running a analytical and statistical model when Warburton was in charge - a disagreement over this point was the line spouted around in the press to sensationalise the fact that he wasn't staying with us. The January transfer window was seemingly purposefully balls'ed up for us...

Yep - led the U21s. Great coach, doesn't want to be a manager at the moment.

Family reasons.

A good post, and quite contrasting to the stuff on UTS with regards to your fans' opinions of Brentford. Most of those points are correct (we're 4 points off the play-offs), but he won't get unlimited funds unfortunately - we'd have likely failed FFP if we hadn't sold Andre Gray, and we have...

Not yet - we've still got a bit to go before we mat h last season's form. That said, we seem stronger at the back but unfortunately aren't quite as potent up top. With Jota, McEachran and McLeod back in the side, plus Collin in at right back, and I think we might be a tough side to beat. That...

Felt that was a bit of a strange game for some reason; not a lot of passing football played and very few chances for either side. QPR were very long ball, whilst we took 30 mins to get going... and as soon as we did get going they hit the hit the bar and the post! Great bit of play from...

Haha woops. On Dijkuizen, it definitely came as a surprise to me but having heard the juicy details of what's been going on behind the scenes with training.

He wasn't sacked, we didn't renew his contract. The goings on of January and February are best left off a forum, but suffice to say that I reckon 95% of owners would have sacked the manager on the spot rather than retain him to the end of the season like Benham did. Warburton is a great...

No one is saying he can't be scrutinised, and many of the loyal fans have indeed been critical of how things have been run in the last 6 months, but there's a massive difference in fully supporting the team despite being critical of a few aspects and castigating the owner and ridiculing his...

We bought in £6m for Gray (with £1.05m going to Luton), £3m for Odubajo (with £400k going to Orient), £1m for Grigg (with £150k to Walsall) and £1.25m for Dallas, with is roughly £9.65m. We spent roughly £6m, plus having to pay off Craig and Douglas (which is more than you'd think! Worryingly...

FFP has been a massive issue for us. We have the lowest turnover in the league, a minted owner who wants to invest heavily in the playing budget but without increasing debt and a FFP that won't let us. We were going to properly go for it this season and tell the league to 'do one' over FFP but...

Underwhelmed. We've gone from attacking and vibrant football to our players not wanting the ball and losing belief in the space of a few months. I'm not one of those clamouring about Warburton leaving - as I totally side with Benham on the issue - but our football is completely unrecognisable...

Not looking good for us. Remember when we played you a few seasons back in the League Cup and we lost 6-0 by fielding a development squad line up? Well, with our current line up of fit players I imagine the score will be similar. Got my ticket though :)

The statistical approach of this season is the same as it was last season under Warburton. Warburton voluntarily left the club because he wasn't to be given a veto over transfers. That's it, the whole of it. This season has seen us have an injury crisis - we had virtually none last season, and...

This is going to get worse before it gets better.

The rumours that Benham was meddling are completely unfounded. So much so that the local journalist who created the fictitious argument has since removed the language from his article. Your first point of "Player Power" is correct in some aspects, but it wasn't just the players who were upset...

Probably. I really liked the guy but his command of English was the worst I've heard from a Dutchman! Seems as if the players and club were very unhappy with Roy Hendriksen's training methods (assistant manager) and the pair have subsequently left together. You need a team to be united on and...

Seems to be the squad being very unhappy with the training methods. Fair enough I suppose, but a little surprised to say the least.

:eyes: More than a bit surprised and must have been a fundamental conflict of ideologies, given that most managers would have struggle given our injury crisis at the moment. We've got 10 first teamers out, many of whom are long term injuries, and we've not been able to field anything like our...
