Brentford blew aside Blackpool like a crisp packet caught on the breeze as they recorded a second win in as many games. The 4-0 scoreline does little to reflect the one sided nature of a game in which we registered 42 shots to the visitors 2 and had 74% possession. Blackpool, who spent much of the game with ten men following a red card for Charles Dunne, offered nothing and, being honest, could have made the long journey home on the wrong end of a bracketing had we been that bit more clinical.
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 on.

However, I have a picture that suggests that there is an alternative which could keep both parties happy. If Matthew wants a mathematical model then our artist’s impression of how this could be accommodated would, I am sure, be a popular one.
Is this what Matthew means by a mathematical model?

It almost felt like one of those Harlem Globetrotters games, where they just toyed with the opposition and made them look like idiots. Some on the GPG even claimed they were bored! Seriously? And also there was no atmosphere. I thought the Ealing Road was fairly lively.
Also surprised no one came up with this headline after the game, misquoting the famous Japanese WWII film. Surely Billy Reeves and his love of all things nostalgic must have mentioned it!
Toral! Toral! Toral!
A great observation. An open goal, missed
