Yehor Yarmoliuk shuts the door

Defensive actions: 42, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

A one-man rearguard from Caoimhin Kelleher

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Nobody could get near Antoni Milambo

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Vitaly Janelt

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 24 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Brentford

Yehor Yarmoliuk 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.

Nothing got past Nathan Collins

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Kevin Schade the difference as Brentford beat Everton

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Kevin Schade. 2‑0 against Everton, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The manager makes an example of Cote

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market14 Sep 2026

Rostov expected to open talks for Kaye Furo

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Brentford will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Brentford turn down Wolverhampton for Ethan Pinnock

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

Tempers go at Brentford

Jordan Henderson 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.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Brentford are making the ground bigger

Work is signed off on a capacity of 23824. It is the sort of decision a club is judged on twenty years later, by people who were not there when it was taken.

Brentford bring in an old head

Marco Sangalli is 34 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Everybody has an opinion about Marco Sangalli

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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Cote still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Brentford would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.
