November 21, 2019 586: Will 'Irrelevant' Brentford Leave Griffin Park Pointless This Weekend? - Pre-Reading Podcast From The Pub
The international break is over. Brentford were hoping to continue winning ways - after their stunning 3-0 away win at Wigan and 12 point ‘between international break’ haul. However, they have Reading to conquer next at Griffin Park with new manager Mark Bowen at the helm. The Beesotted crew met up in one of their regular haunts - The Globe in Brentford - as they looked back to the interview they did with Brentford Head Coach Thomas Frank which went out over the last couple of weeks on http://PrideOfWest.London. They looked back to the international break where Brentford had a couple of players qualify for Euro 2020. And Billy looked back on his Eastern European trek across three countries - Serbia. Kosovo. And Macedonia to watch England play. Pointless presenter Richard Osman takes a pop at Brentford. Plus as we are in international mode, we highlighted the plethora of international Bees who listen in to the podcast. And Simeon from The Tilehurst End blog and podcast tells us - considering Prince Andrew has gone into hiding for a period of time - how bad a week The Royals have had this week.

November 13, 2019 584: Beesotted Reloaded: November 2019 - Frank Talking Part 2: Thomas Frank Joins Beesotted Down The Pub Discussing the Brentford Model
November 2019. Thomas Frank is still down the Red Lion in Barnes with the Beesotted crew - and in Part 2 the conversation moves onto the inner workings of Brentford

Thomas talks openly about his role in recruiting players, both while working alongside Dean Smith and since becoming Head Coach, as well as some of the frustrations of working within the famous Brentford model

We talk about players who worked, players who didn’t, whether Brentford regretted selling the likes of John Egan and Romaine Sawyers, and the development of players such as Josh Dasilva

Then we get properly into Brentford territory - xG, stats, the infamous “Justice League” and the B Team, including which young players Thomas believed could be next to make the step up

And finally, the big question at the time: was this Brentford team actually better than the season before?

Listening back from November 2019, this one gives a fascinating insight into the model, recruitment and thinking behind a Brentford side that was getting closer and closer to something special

None of us knew it yet, but that season would take the Bees all the way to Wembley and within touching distance of the Premier League

Original description
The second part of our podcast double-header as Brentford head coach Thomas Frank joins the Beesotted crew down the Red Lion pub in Barnes to talk football, football and more football.

And we discussed how instrumental he was in picking players both when Dean Smith was manager and also this last window.

What frustrated him most about the Brentford ‘model’.

What players didn’t work out. Did Brentford regret selling players like John Egan and Romaine Sawyers.

How much have players like Josh DaSilva developed in his year in charge.

xG, stats and the infamous ‘Justice League’. Can’t Brentford just be top of the real table as opposed to the stats tables?

What players does he see next coming forward from the B-team and what players maybe are unlikely to make the first team.

Plus the big question. Is this season’s Brentford team better than last season’s?

November 06, 2019 582: Beesotted Reloaded: November 2019 – Frank Talking Part 1 - Brentford Head Coach Thomas Frank Joins Beesotted Down The Pub Talking Football
November 2019. Just over a year after taking over as Brentford Head Coach, Thomas Frank joined the Beesotted crew down the Red Lion in Barnes for a pint and a proper chat about football

And pretty much nothing was off limits

Thomas talks tactics, formations, set pieces, recruitment and scouting, David Raya v Daniel Bentley and why things hadn’t worked out for Lewis McLeod at Brentford

We also ask him about mistakes, the dark arts of football - or “shithousing” - and what it felt like hearing opposition supporters singing “you’re getting sacked in the morning"

This is Thomas Frank well before the Premier League, sitting in the pub with a bunch of Bees fans talking openly about how he saw football and how he wanted his Brentford team to play.
Listening back now, knowing where Thomas and Brentford would eventually end up, makes the conversation even more fascinating

Frank talking. In the pub. Before any of us knew quite where this journey was going.
