They were pretty woeful last night.
They have been so hit and miss this season.... sounds familiar.

The "Brentford Model" got them promoted and has kept them in the Premier league despite a stadium size of 17K. They were the 4th most profitable team in the Premier league last season and have made a profit 3 years in the last 5. They will probably survive another season in the Premier league despite losing the star striker for most of the season.What happened to the “Brentford Model” we were told was the way to go?
Same way as Swansea, Bolton............
We haven’t played them in a whileThere used to be a Brentford fan write on here, Beesotted or something like that.
Haven’t heard anything from him for a while.
I can't remember ever wanting to be like Swansea or Bolton.What happened to the “Brentford Model” we were told was the way to go?

It's great what they have done.
I admire them for standing by their manager who took 4 points from his first 10 games in charge. If we did that, we'd still have fans holding it against him, claiming he's papering over the cracks 6 successful years later.
But no one can sustain that forever. Some time in the next 3-4 years, they'll be relegated. What they, and Brighton do is very difficult, that's what makes their success impressive.
When, inevitably for clubs Nov their size, the bullet works it's way around, it will not invalidate the system they have used to achieve success.
Oh, don't start that again ....I don't disagree with you, but what actually defines "size"? Is it financial? Is it attractiveness (ie pulling power) to managers & players? Is it historic? Is it size of supporter base?

for me, its all about somehow making that transition from being a 'showcase & sell' club, to a club players want to go to. there are elite clubs, but they do change every now & then for various reasons, ie forest, man city, leeds etc
To be fair Maupay is starting to bang them in.Once they lose Toney in the summer I think they will drop next season.
Brentford dont actually follow 'The Brentford Model' themselves anymore. Not the version that is discussed on here anyway.
When was their last big sale? Marcus Forss to us was probably one of them.
God knows. I know people talk about it as buying cheap then selling for massive profits. Which Brentford did for a while before getting promoted - but not since.I thought that was the Brighton ‘model’ … the Brentford model is supposedly the moneyball approach isn’t it?
I'm not a Moneyball expert but after watching the movie my understanding was it is about buying previously overlooked players that have a specific skill or skill set that fits in with the overall team. Even if they do have two left feet and an attitude.
