   I agree, extremely well written – again. But…..This is a ship wreck.
   Warburton is doing his very best to bail out the ever increasing water sinking this season, Benham is showing outstandingly poor communication skills, the Chairman is just non existent in calming the increasing confusion and the Chief Executive is probably on a writing course trying to put together a press release that delivers a clear message.
   Whilst all this is happening the passion of the poor players can only dissipate. Despite what they are saying in various press releases they crave leadership, they crave the bond of a united team that knows how to win and they need to be certain that in battle every week they are fighting for a real and clearly defined goal, plus shown the pathway to that goal.
   Collectively the Management of Brentford have pulled the rug from under the players – they are rudderless and no longer know their objectives. Benham (so the reports state) has effectively said publicly they are not good enough to achieve the objective of Premier League football after believing and being told for months that they are. Warburton, who is (was) driving them to the Premier League is a dead man walking – so the players have no idea what they are playing for. Most would believe they will be playing elsewhere next season because Benham has reportedly said they are not good enough, so their managers would now be planning their exit strategy with them.
   There is no way a team can perform in these circumstances, so, although we all desperately want them to continue to play as they have all season they would truly be super human if they did.
   This truly outstanding group of Brenford footballers have been so badly let down by the Brentford Management Group.
   It is a quite tragic position to be just as the final run in begins – so very sad and so very avoidable.
