I seem to recall that two seasons ago Brighton also struggled, as did Huddersfield last season. There is much to like about this Brentford team and the hurt of inconsistency can only be good experience for young talented players. The Bees were written off by some before the season started and are now stronger with some exciting B Squad players coming through. MCLeod is back next season, Henry will soon turn out, Jota will settle in again, others will arrive and some will go, but overall this outstanding young squad will be more battle hardened and do justice for themselves and Brentford next season. Exciting times await

Good piece Billy. Think we were also suspect against the ball through the middle last season and we’re rescued by Barbet who used to make those excellently timed last ditch challenges. He offered some pace in the middle which our centre halves lack. I don’t think it would be a bad idea to try Barber in the DM role to see what he’s like there. Got height got pace good going forward with the ball seems worth a punt IMHO

  We had a big discussion about Barbet on the train home. We felt that he was unlucky as he deserved a place in the side but seemed way down the pecking order. He’s a good player with pace. So far this season, we have pretty much always played him out of position which hasn’t done him many favours.
  Would he be right for DM role? Who knows. We dont know him as well as the coaching staff. Would like to see him get a run in the side though

Harlee, has now put on record his disagreement, with the constant excuse rolled out by Smith, etc, that the team is too young to be expected to perform; always was a pathetic smoke screen for incompetence.
