    Well I cant get involved with that Swale as I dont know who Mel Morris is
    I didnt think the score would be 4-0, I know Brentford are on a good run and are an under rated team etc, but that was quite an off day for Derby. Lets see if they do anything similar to us at our place tomorrow.

    He is our wealthy owner, whom some friends were being a bit critical of, and whilst nobody whatever their status or whatever they do should be beyond criticism, some of the attacks seemed to forget the guy was spending his own dosh and trying to make it work!

    Ohh we've had that as well with our chairman/owner who has single handedly funded us with his own money to the point where we are now. Yet some people still criticise him and find fault for little or no reason.

    When one looks at many owners that clubs have, it is worth taking a step back and thinking does the guy in charge have the clubs best interests at heart? In our case I think he does and lets face it we fans all think if we had several million that we would do a better job.

    "What have Brentford got that we haven't?"

    Pace, directness, movement, pressing...

    I reckon none of us could do the real thing for beyond a month Swale, even though we'd all like to give it a try. Being good at player manager on the consoles is completely different.
    Ohh and well done to Jacob Butterfield today, he used to be a popular midfielder for us some years ago.

    And back to the question 'What have Brentford got that we havent ?'.. Well they got a penalty today and we didnt, but they missed it so its honours even in a better than expected end of season game.

    A month? Well I think that guy from Forest green lasted 6 weeks and presumably he knew more than the average fan about football management!

    Ah well reality has arrived and now we look forward to the comings and goings and see how Rowett builds a team.

    Maybe a month was a bit optimistic, ok a fortnight at best lol.
    I wonder what Rowett is thinking tonight after the total shambles at Birmingham. Zola has resigned, just after getting the vote of confidence of course. And hes done this with them in a scrap with 3 games to go.

    His final act, on realising he's a crap manager, is probably his best..At least gives Brum a chance to stay up!! Lol
