May 2013. Just days after the heartbreak of losing to Doncaster on the final day of the 2012/13 season, Beesotted caught up with Brentford manager Uwe Rösler

With the Bees now facing the play-offs and supporters still coming to terms with what had happened at Griffin Park, Uwe had a simple message - stay positive

But he was also looking much further ahead, talking about his belief in the club, where Brentford could go and even suggesting that the Bees could become the “new Man City”

Listening back to Uwe’s words from May 2013 more than a decade later, with Brentford now established in the Premier League, some of what he had to say feels remarkably prophetic

April 27th 2013. The Final game of the season. Brentford played Doncaster at Griffin Park for a place in The Championship

Win and the Bees are promoted

With the score at 0-0 deep into injury time, Brentford are awarded a penalty. Fulham loanee Marcello Trotta steps up, hits the bar and, seconds later, Doncaster race up the other end and score to win promotion themselves

Raw footage and fan reaction from one of the most dramatic and heartbreaking finishes in Brentford history - but also a day which, looking back, arguably helped shape the Bees into the established Premier League force they are today

Billy ‘The Bee’ Grant and Dave ‘Laney’ Lane are back with another Beesotted podcast – and there’s so much to talk about after a memorable 3-0 victory against Chelsea.

A game of two very different halves… Chelsea arguably had the better of the first half, although xG had it even, but after the break the Bees absolutely owned it with Brentford celebrating a comprehensive victory.

We look at Schuster, Schade and the very Brentford way that produced the second and third goals, as the Bees turned the game around in style. And finally, after all that waiting, Thiago gets his goal.

But was 3-0 actually a fair reflection of the game? TalkSPORT’s Jason Cundy didn’t think so - so who really controlled the game, and did the scoreline tell the whole story?

We’ll get into all of that, before turning our attention to the EFL Trophy, where Brentford secured a 1-0 win away at Bromley. Ollie Shield was the hero, scoring with a left-footed strike from outside the box that found the bottom corner.

Now it’s international break time, with 14 Bees heading off on international duty. We’ll take a look at who’s away, where they’re going and the matches coming up.

Plus, there’s a brand-new Beesotted Prediction League - you can get involved at beesotted.footballscoreline.com and your chance to get your name in the new Brentford Remembered book via www.legendspublishing.net

It finishes Bournemouth 2, Brentford 2 at the Vitality after a hugely hard-fought afternoon that, by the end, had pretty much everything.

Brentford took the lead through Kevin Schade, only for Bournemouth to fight their way back into it, equalise and then go ahead early in the second half. But Schade wasn’t finished there. A wayward pass out from the Bournemouth goalkeeper fell straight to the Brentford forward, and he still had plenty to do — but he produced a brilliant finish to bring the Bees level once again.

From there, it became frantic. The game opened up, chances came at both ends and, in the closing stages, it really could have gone either way. Bournemouth will probably look back with the greater sense of frustration, having created a host of excellent opportunities that, on another day, should have been enough to win the game. But Brentford had their moments too, and by the final whistle it was a breathless, end-to-end finish with both sides throwing everything forward.

A point apiece, Brentford remain unbeaten, and Kevin Schade walks away with two very different goals and a rather large chunk of the afternoon’s headlines.

We spoke to the Brentford fans straight after the final whistle to get their thoughts
