The Ealing Road Podcast

David Mooney from The Blue Moon Podcast joins Mike to preview Manchester City's visit to the Gtech on Tuesday night.

Brentford bowed out of the FA Cup following a shock third round defeat to bottom-of-the-Championship Plymouth Argyle, but Thomas Frank's side have the chance to bounce back against a Man City side that are far from their formidable best.

What's gone wrong at City this season? Where do they need to strengthen in January? And will Frank opt for the same gameplan that almost saw Brentford get another famous result at The Etihad in the reverse fixture at the start of the campaign?

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on OUR FIRST AWAY WIN OF THE SEASON!

We briefly look back on defeat against Arsenal before tucking into a 5-0 away win at St. Mary's. An attacking lineup eased its way through a bottom-of-the-league Saints defence, and gave Thomas Frank's side its first victory on the road this season... only took until 2025!

We chat through an outstanding Tweet of the Week, the never-ending brilliance of Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo's stock, and our upcoming fixtures in cup and league.

This one was A LOT of fun...

On this week’s episode, Dan, Craig and Miranda reflect on our first home defeat of the season against Nott’m Forest, as well as the 0-0 draw at Brighton, and ANOTHER injury crisis…

Nuno Espirito Santo’s high-flying Forest showcased as a defensive performance for the ages. The first team to prevent us from scoring at the Gtech this season, the visitors were worthy of the three points - we take a look at why we just couldn’t break them down.

But we had the chance to respond at Brighton after Christmas, and in the end, we settled for a point at The Amex, surviving an onslaught in the first half but showing attacking intent in the second. Mads Roerslev produces his best performance of the season, and there are Premier League debuts for Kim Ji-Soo and Hákon Valdimarsson.

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect back on back-to-back losses in league and cup.

A spirited second half performance wasn't enough to overturn a two-goal deficit against Chelsea, meaning our run of three consecutive wins at Stamford Bridge came to end. On another day, a point could've been a fair result, but our miserable record away from home continues.

We were afforded a chance to bounce back in midweek against Newcastle in the League Cup quarterfinal, but a much-changed Brentford XI were comprehensively beaten by a Magpies side who we comprehensively beat a week before... how did that happen?

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on yet another three points at home, this time against Eddie Howe's Newcastle.

We needed a response after a poor showing away from home against Villa, and that's exactly what we got. An attacking lineup was justified by sublime finishes from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, and we demonstrated defensive solidity in the second half too!

Second half goals from Nathan Collins and Kevin Schade rounded off a comfortable win at home, against probably the toughest opposition we've faced at the Gtech...

Yehor Yarmoluik's brilliance, front three options and Chelsea away ALL DISCUSSED!

On this week's episode, Mike, Callum and Dan discuss another loss on the road, this time at Villa Park. Fresh from a 4-1 thumping of Leicester at the Gtech, the Bees travelled to Birmingham in good spirits, but a 13-minute spell - in which Villa put three past us - meant it would be defeat on our travels yet again. How big a loss was Christian Norgaard in midfield? Is Ethan Pinnock on the decline? Did Thomas Frank get his substitutions wrong? ALL discussed.

Kevin Schade - after a a difficult start to the campaign - FINALLY gets his moment in the limelight, bagging a fantastic hat-trick and sending Brentford on their way to a comfortable 4-1 victory. How much can we take from our home games? How far off are we? Can we beat Villa in midweek - ALL DISCUSSED!

On this week's episode, Mike, Callum, Craig and Dan reflect on a hard-fought point at Goodison Park. In a game that wasn't likely to produce many goals, Christian Norgaard's controversial red card just before half-time did little to help the quality of the game. A gritty second half performance - in which 10-man Brentford were the better team - earned Thomas Frank's side their first point on the road this season. We analyse the red card decision, Bryan Mbeumo's performance, Igor Thiago's debut off the bench, and Leicester at home this weekend...
