The Ealing Road Podcast

Dr. Brentford Will See You Now... 🫠

On this week’s episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on two more defeats on the road, at Arsenal and Spurs. Despite a decent performance at The Emirates, and despite resting key players against Mikel Arteta’s side, the reunion with Thomas Frank at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was one to forget for Keith Andrews and Brentford. We answer all of your questions, talk about the horrendous away record with important games coming up away from home, and preview a visit from Leeds on Sunday. Learn more about your ad choices.

SPURS PREVIEW | @Flav_Bateman | A Reunion With Thomas Frank As Brentford Take On Spurs 👀

Flav Bateman of The Fighting Cock joins Mike ahead of a reunion with Thomas Frank, as Keith Andrews’ Brentford travel to Spurs on Saturday. Frank started the season well with good performances against PSG in the Super Cup and Man City in the league, but since then, it’s been difficult for our former boss, with the football stale, the results infrequent, and the home form abject. We chat about the sentiment towards Frank, the strength of Spurs’ squad, whether Lilywhites fans believe our former gaffer can turn it around, and the magnitude of the game on Saturday.

Late Drama Vs Burnley Ahead Of Trip To Arsenal 👀

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on another three points at home, this time against Scott Parker's Burnley. The game looked to be heading for a boring goalless draw on what was a frustrating afternoon for Keith Andrews' side. But it burst into life in the final ten minutes, with Igor Thiago putting Brentford ahead from the spot, before being pegged back by a Burnley penalty, and then Thiago netting his second of the game and 11th of the season to put the Bees back in control. We chat about Thiago becoming the fastest player to reach double figures in the Premier League for Brentford, Keith's changes to the lineup that saw Mathias Jensen and Aaron Hickey return, and our trip to The Emirates on Wednesday night.

We chat about the season so far, Parker’s approach to staying in the Premier League, and key personnel to look out for on Saturday. Learn more about your ad choices.

Defeat At Brighton & More Points Dropped From Winning Positions 🤦‍♂️

On this week’s episode, Mike and Dan reflect on yet another defeat on the road, this time away at Brighton. Brentford seemed in control in the first half after Igor Thiago netted his ninth goal of the season, but two goals in the second half from Danny Welbeck and Jack Hinshelwood means Keith Andrews’ side dropped more points from a winning position. We chat (again) about Keith’s in-game substitutions, why Reiss Nelson isn’t getting any game time, and why Burnley will be a different kind of test for Brentford at the Gtech.
