So, when Venkys eventually pull the plug and send us into oblivion (which has to be a matter of when rather than if) what will be the emotion towards them. Unmitigated hatred for destroying an institution of 150 years or a shrug of the shoulders and thanks for funding the 'stagnation years'?

Terrible news. One of the first players I remembered as a young kid at Ewood. Strangely I always see that amazing lobbed own goal when I think back on him but he could certainly play. RIP.

Massive credit to the manager in my opinion. Parker identified how to nullify Brentford by pressing high and outnumbering their midfield so the front 3 had to rely on long balls. He impressed me greatly last night so well done to him and his players for executing the plan.

I quite liked the GAY, Gallagher and Yorke.

And players who have the requisite limbs

Blag your way in, talk the talk, move on before you get found out. Rinse and repeat. Senior appears to be a master at it.

I'd be happier if they wanted Tony from Blackburn.

He looks a proper player that Bryan

What is Raya doing there?

To be fair, Fulham have massively dropped off in the last 15 mins. They look shattered and without Onomah breaking forward they've no outlet.

Fulham bossing this and , for me, Reed being the main reason for that. He's covered every blade of grass, giving Brentford no time when they're in possession and willing to take the ball in tight areas and setting their attacks up. This Da Silva for Brentford looks poor to me, slows everything down and takes too many touches.

Can just see Mowbray on Redcar beach waiting for his Nokia 3310 to ring.

12th -18th, 5000 season tickets sold, Brereton 'about to come good' and Dack sold in January for an 'undisclosed fee'. Tony's pension pot filling up nicely.

To be fair if Mowbray et al think he's "crap", he'll do for me.

I was a striker and they shunted me into left back in a 2 man defence!!! They never asked me back.

Always worried me that 20,000 grown men did that.

Saved me a job there. 2 bruisers who can defend would do me. As long as they are able to play a 5 yard pass to a playmaker who can dictate a quick tempo I'm good with that.

Are they reopening Martholme Grange?

Koita was one of the least intelligent footballers I have ever seen. He has, however, gone on to score a few for Kasimpasa in the Turkish League this season.

And when I play I look like a bit of a drongo, I try to defend but always get it wrong-o But I couldn't care less just look at the size of my schlong-o

Just bought Ake from Bournemouth too, putting him further down the pecking order. I'd go further than you Merce, I don't think he makes it at PL level, he's too suspect defensively.

All of Brentford's midfielders first thought is to go forward while we play through Downing who hasn't got that speed of movement any more. They press with great energy from the front and work unbelievably hard out of possession, we aren't well drilled or fit enough to execute that. Both full backs give width in the final third with a def mid (Norgaard) who shields their defensive position effectively. Travis could learn that but our full backs are appalling offensively. And finally, that front 3. Wow, movement, purpose, workrate and no little skill - all picked up for the cost of a Brereton.

What a game this is, some superb football being played by Brentford.

Noticed Alfie Mawson and Dennis Odoi only made the bench for Fulham last night. Both players would walk into our first team.

Great goal that, Ayew is definitely better than Championship level. I feel for Brentford though, the ref has done them here, they'll want to get out just one behind rather then going for an equaliser.
