On the other hand you could argue that akpom is used to a passing game rather than the hoof it and see game played by brentford
Obviously you don’t watch Brentford play DeeJay. We play great passing football. Absolutely passed MK Dons off the park on Saturday. And did the same with most teams last season. As do Coventry and Forest who also sent Akpom packing. We will see how he gets on
Firstly I’d be interested to know who deejay supports/watches if he thinks Brentford play hoof-ball. secondly kipmonster as you can see from other comments, several past loan players are fondly remembered & respected for their efforts in Brentford shirts. specifically regarding jon toral , i’m the other side of the world but listen to the live games & watch the highlights. I liked Toral & thought perhaps he deserved more time on the park.
You will probably recall that two seasons ago Brentford needing the win for automatic promotion on the final day, received an injury time penalty. Loan player from Fulham Marcello Trotta took it upon himself to take the spot-kick despite the fact that the club captain had been designated penalty taker for that day. The penalty was missed & with it promotion (albeit after play-off heartbreak)A couple of days after the penalty miss the club held it’s annual presentation day & as I understand ( I’m the other side of the world )several supporters sought out Trotta to commiserate with him. The fact that Trotta chose to rejoin Brentford on loan for the next season would support this. Yes Brentford did get promoted the following season but regardless I doubt you would find many bees supporters who don’t wish Trotta the best in his future career. Like billythebee says ” attitude is everything “
Arsenal probably.Like you say his attitude stank,the same as that arrogant twat from West Brom, and look at the trouble they are having with him now.Hes Worth a few bob now though.
Hoof ball? Exactly when have you seen the Bees play hoof ball in the last five years please?
Not BEEsotted enough to remember Jon Toral’s contribution to Brentford!!! Easy for fans to criticise loan players before own players & youth as in the hope of future progress of your club you have to invest faith & patience in them as opposed to loan player you want to squeeze dry knowing that success or failure of such a player unlikely to change fact that they will return to parent club & it’s move on to next loanee/s.
And lest we forget Alex Pritchard did a pretty decent job for us last year. Drive, energy and enthusiasm can go a long way to overcome shortcomings that are bound to exist in Championship level players and we would appear to have those qualities in bucket loads at the moment. Despite the stuttering start and the eternal pessimists we have (pound for pound – literally and metaphorically)probably the best squad ever in my 60 years of support. I even dare to dream of better to come. Always enjoy your reflections. All the best Christmas.

Glad you mentioned Pritch. He was pretty special. Loved his enthusiam for the games, and you also saw him geeing up the fans as well. Will never forget his matadoral run up and down the line against Bournemouth at home when with the game already in the bag he made the defenders look like Sunday league players. And he’d already done his time in League 1 too. Hope he recovers from his injury in the under 21s and goes on to have a great career.
Pritchard was great – even if he left his twitter profile as Tottenham for his whole loan period. Total was great too. However, this was article was highlighting the fact that SOME players fail to get involved – feeling that dropping to the lower leagues is a step down. And they are missing a real opportunity to get valuable ‘proper’ match experience which will see them in good stead in the future.
I fully agree & whilst not exactly the same as Grey was a bees player I think Spurs would be better seeking him rather than the ex bees loanee at WBA
Well written and commented by all

Paul Merson…..Steve Sidwell…
