Possibly the craziest November on record ended up with Brentford making it five Championship wins on the bounce, the latest being Saturday’s 4-0 thumping of Wolves. With The Bees now up to third in the table (only a point off the top) and Warbs, surely, a shoe-in for Manager of the Month, the whole thing is just taking a turn for the surreal.
Frankly, I’ve run out of superlatives to describe the spirit and endeavor of this team.
To read the rest of this article, season 2014/15 is now available to download onto Kindle (and other electronic reading device) in full. Containing additional material and even some (poor) editing, you can get it here for less than the cost of a Griffin Park matchday programme or Balti Pie.
Thanks for reading and all your comments over the course of the season. For now, I need to make more space on the site for any follow up. However, ‘close season’ will continue in full, further along.

No excuses from me for our performance, Brentford were just better than us in every department. Perhaps if Dicko had been fit or if Goldbourne hadn’t got injured halfway through the first half…….. or if Saville was wearing red and white instead of gold and black. Saville has had some poor performances but yesterday topped them all. We could hear the Brentford chants aimed at him and to be honest I almost joined in. Evans had a bad one as well and Sako (minus his sparkly boots) just gave up in the second half.
On another note I have to say I just loved Griffin Park. It reminded me of the stadiums I used to go to in the 1970’s. I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way – I guess to people of my age group it’s what a proper ground looks like. However for the same reasons i guess that’s why you need to move. With all the development work going on near the ground I guess there must be a queue of developers waiting for you to go. It would be a pity but you could never sustain a premiership campaign with the ground the way it is (it must be difficult in the championship – we struggle with twice the gate).
Good to meet up with you before the match. Are you coming to Molineux in a few weeks time?
