   Who is this moronic “dog shit”, drek, “Dave”, drivelling and yapping in the podcast, revolting knuckle dragging, twerp.
   The “liberal”, is the only one who ever talks in a coherent and thoughtful manner. Makes good points. The rest are regurgitating cliches, repeated in every bar room ramble.
   Is it a good idea, having a so called discussion, when 75% of the crew are half pissed, probably not.

   The time for real concern is when possession is consistently and significantly below 50%.
   How about focussing on the positive, which is that week after week Brentford control the engine room of the game and there are apparently three problem areas to overcome:
   1. Opposition teams are using fairly heavy tactics to try to upset the playing style os a group of young and relatively inexperienced players.
   2. The well documented defence lapses
   3. The inability to close out play and score.
   These are problems that every team confront so nothing is unique to Brentford, except the quality of the squad is quite outstanding.
   The coaching staff are good, the depth of the squad is good, so the problems will be overcome sooner rather then later.
   There are two other issues that come into play. firstlyGriffin Park is no longer a fortress because the Brentford supporters are not providing the 12th man. In reality is is like playing with one man short because the players are so aware that at the slightest opportunity the crowd will be over critical. This affects confidence and performance levels and often makes it easier to play away from Griffin Park. Secondly, despite what everyone says, player confidence levels are lower than when the team is on a winning streak and of course this affects performance.
   Less talk and more support is required from supporters until the inevitable couple of wins takes place and Brentford start rapidly climbing the table.
   The reality is a top six finish is very achievable this season and I would be surprised if Brentford are not in the play offs come season end.
