Brentford made it two wins on the bounce as a much-changed side comfortably saw off Bournemouth 2–0 in the League Cup. Coming just days after the impressive Premier League victory over Aston Villa, Thomas Frank rang the changes but the Bees still looked sharp and in control throughout, with goals securing safe passage into the hat for the second round.

Dave ‘Laney’ Lane was at the Vitality Stadium to get the reaction from the travelling Brentford fans, who were buzzing with the performance, the squad depth on display, and the professional way the Bees took care of business on the South Coast.

Brentford bounced back in style at the Gtech, putting last week’s poor showing firmly behind them with a hard-fought 1–0 win over Aston Villa.

Club-record signing Dango Ouattara made an instant impact on his debut, scoring the decisive goal after just 12 minutes and setting the tone for a much-improved Bees performance.

The team looked sharper, more disciplined, and far more cohesive, giving Keith Andrews his first Premier League win as Brentford boss.

Straight after the whistle, Billy “The Bee” Grant caught up with both Brentford and Villa fans to capture the raw post-match emotions.

From relief and pride among the home supporters to frustration in the Villa camp, this episode dives into the key moments, tactical tweaks, and the buzz around a debut goal that could mark the start of something special for Brentford.

The final whistle blew at the City Ground, and Brentford fans were left shaking their heads after a disappointing defeat to Nottingham Forest.

In this episode, we capture the raw emotion straight from the terraces and the pub, speaking to Bees supporters and Forest fans in the moments that matter most — right after the game and in the hours that follow.

There’s frustration, debate, and a real sense of questioning of where this team is heading this season although it’s early days still

Are Brentford simply undercooked after a stuttering start? Is it a case of being unprepared tactically and mentally for the challenges ahead? Or is there a more worrying truth: that the side might not be good enough to push on this season?
