The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

With the smell of the Millwall win still very fresh, the Bees travel to South West Wales to take on Swansea City... can Brentford build on the weekend victory, or will the trip over the Severn be a bridge too far?

We pick the bones over the great come-back win on Saturday, listen back to the fans in the pub, as well as what the Bees' head coach, Thomas Frank, had to say about his side's performance. We also catch up with Rasmus Ankersen, the club's co-Director of Football, for what is a very insightful chat.

Julie Kissick, a Swans fan who runs the Sports Journalism degree at the University of South Wales joins us on the line to give her view on Tuesday night's Championship clash.

Billy Grant talks to Brentford co Director of Football Rasmus Ankersen to discuss Brentford's victory against Millwall. 

The use of stats at Brentford and whether stats like xG is overly relied on in the way Brentford play.  

They discuss randomness and humans. 

We discuss the real league position v justice league (the position the statitisicans think we should be in). 

Whether selling Maupay has caused us problems. And whether we are looking to recall Marcus Forss from Wimbledon. 

Why do we have a strong defence and not so strong attack, plus many more...

International break week. And the Beesotted crew of Billy TheBee Grant and xG Dave Anderson hooked up with Matt Beedle in the LoveSport Radio studio to talk all things Brentford …  England .. international football and whatever. 
But as ugly scenes unfolded in front of their eyes as they watched England play their European Qualifier in Bulgaria, the script was torn up as the subject flipped to one and only one subject of the moment - Bulgarian fans’ (sic) racist abuse of England players which threatened to get the England match abandoned. 
Commentary from the studio live as the game unfolded - with fans in the studio recalling tales of travelling to watch England in Eastern Europe whilst being subjected to racist abuse

Russell from 3 Lions Podcast was giving a lovely lowdown on the trip to Prague before the racism kicked in and he was cut short
But it wasn’t all dark as Wimbledon fan Marc Jones (@DaysOfSpeed) came on to give us the lowdown on Brentford striker Marcus Forss - banging in the goals down at Kingsmeadow.
