NewCorkSeth On the whole Brentford thing I'm starting to think they'll finish on top.

Don't they often crumble?

I dunno. They seem to improve season after season. Slow start and strong finish. I admire them a fair bit. Nothing club becoming a championship powerhouse. It's nice to see.

The crumbled at the end last year, only had to win 1 off their last 2 or 3 games to take auto - failed miserably and then lost the PO final.
May well have learnt their lessons of course.

Were they not 1 point behind West Brom? Easy to say they bottled it when West Brom also didn't win their final 2. I get the argument they should have won but equally so should have West Brom.
Anyway they finished 3rd and lost in a play off final. Thats good development considering it was their 6th season back in the champ. Well run club and I like having good teams rather than just historic teams in the division. Makes it exciting and shows how strong a league it really is.

Hound I'm starting to tire of the smoke being blown up their backside mind you. Bored of hearing about the 'Brentford' model, though of course they've done very well
I think they are worse than last year. Watkins and Benrhama were two of the best players in the champ. Toney is good but not Watkins, and Canos isn't Benrhama level imo
Good side of course, but I think Norwich are nailed on for first, and 2nd place is completely open atm

I get it. They are doing better than last year though aren't they? Only 3 losses at the halfway point is pretty good.

Norwich are a good team but too many teams try and show them too much respect. They have the quality to break sides down who sit back as they play between the lines very well and create chances
Whereas if you press up on them, I don’t think their defence (CB’s really) are particularly strong on the ball, IIRC we pressed up on them a few times when we lost to them and pressurised them into making mistakes but we didn’t do it enough
Still wouldn’t be sure they’re guaranteed for first place, especially if someone takes Aarons/Buendia off them

Real question is: Is Aarons actually any better than Richards?
Obviously both are good, great at this level, but Aarons got a lot of hype. I reckon Richards is just as good albeit on the other flank.

I think Aarons is better at the moment, but the gap has certainly reduced in the past year or so. Just think he’s got a bit more about him in an attacking sense, although defensively I would rate them similar enough
Always thought Aarons was better than Lewis though so surprised Lewis got the Prem move first

Hound yep and Norwich will prob get 20m for him whilst we get FA for Richards and lose him in the summer sadly
