The Beesotted crew licked their wounds and headed into town to look back at the Swansea Cup defeat, and try and fathom what on earth happened in that second 45 minutes in South West Wales on Sunday afternoon.
We listen to the post-match thoughts of the fans who had made the pilgrimage to Swansea, as well as talk through the Quarter Final Cup draw, where we missed out on Manchester City.
We also chew the fat over how the team will fair for the rest of the campaign, discuss the goal keeping situation at GP, and announce that the boardroom at the new Brentford stadium will be named after Harry Curtis, the club’s greatest ever manager. Terry Butcher will be gutted!
In the studio this were: Dave ‘Laney’ Lane, Robin Hood and David ‘xG Dave’ Anderson, and we are joined by Gabriel Sutton from @_FootbalLab who gives his enlightened thoughts on the mighty Bees!
