Another two wins for Brentford against Ipswich and Nottingham Forest sets us up nicely for the West London Derby at Craven Cottage on Saturday where Fulham will be vying for that second automatic promotion place and Brentford will bedding all they can to keep their faint playoff hopes alive.
The Beesotted crew met in The Parcel Yard pub – just past Harry Potter platform in Kings Cross station – to discuss the Ipswich and Forest matches, does Zane Westbrooke’s train at Coventry mean that we may find ourselves ‘Alfie Mawsoned’ yet again? Plus we look back at Brentford’s never to be beaten 4-1 victory against Fulham a few seasons back and we look forward to the game at the weekend.
