Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Arthur Caike

141 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Brentford lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Brentford taken apart

0‑3 to Chelsea, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match

5 matches without a win for Brentford

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Brentford are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Brentford

Thiago 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.

Squad

Michael Kayode 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Mikkel Damsgaard

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Brentford dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Loan watch

Julian Eyestone has seen enough of Krylya Sovetov

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Brentford, and 1 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Thiago

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Market

Brentford turn down Alcione Milano for Ethan Laidlaw

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Caoimhin Kelleher wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Brentford hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Tempers go at Brentford

Thiago 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.

Squad

Mathias Jensen signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mathias Jensen commits to Brentford for another 3 years.

Squad

Words at Brentford training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dango Ouattara 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

Thiago asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
