Squad

Thiago breaks a bone — 101 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 101 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

No end in sight to Brentford's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Brentford has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Brentford

Kevin Schade was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ramazan Bağdat

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Caoimhin Kelleher gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Brentford come up short against Aston Villa

Aston Villa left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

A fracture rules Mamadou Sangaré out for 30 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Brentford will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Amario Cozier-Duberry runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

No end in sight to Brentford's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Brentford has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Kevin Schade in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Brentford this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Brentford cannot find the net

5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Words at Brentford training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Michael Kayode is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Robert Walker gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Robert Walker has just signed for Brentford, and for once the answer mattered.

Boardroom

Brentford beat the market to Jenson Seelt from Manchester United

Manchester United will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Jenson Seelt has pre-agreed a move to Brentford, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Market

Brentford sign Robert Walker with one eye on the future

Nobody at the club will say out loud who this signing is for, which is how you know exactly who it is for. Robert Walker has been brought in to take a shirt somebody is still wearing.
