The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

Brentford’s sequence of tough away fixtures at the start of the season continues this weekend with a trip to the Tottenham Stadium… The Bees will be looking to build upon last week’s positive performance at The Etihad and the midweek win over Leyton Orient. Spurs, on the other hand, seem to be under a bit of pressure, however, they still go into the game as favourites, especially with Wissa sidelined for a couple of months and Thomas Frank having to, once again, shuffle the pack up top.Dave ‘Laney’ Lane is joined by Ali ‘Doolally’ Mullally and Tom ‘The Fiddler’ Fiddler in the Virtual Joint for this week’s Beesotted Pride of West London Podcast, where we cast our minds back to the Manchester City match, events under the lights against Leyton Orient and the trip to North London on Saturday… we ask whether Kevin Schade can make the step up and stake his claim for the number nine shirt now he has the opportunity, if Thomas Frank is being primed to be the next Manchester City boss… what Brentford’s line-up would be if everyone was fit… we have stats and tactical analysis from Jacob Gobbler at @beesbreakdown, facts and funk from the one and only Jonathan 'JB' Burchill and Ricky Sacks from The Last Word On Spurs, who shares his knowledge on all that’s happening in N17.
