The Ealing Road Podcast

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Callum reflect on a HUGE three point away at Crystal Palace. Brentford travelled to Selhurst Park having only one once away from home all season, while the Eagles came into the game in a rich vein of form, unbeaten in ten Premier League games. But it was Thomas Frank's side who came out on top in south London. Second half goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Kevin Sc...

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the late 2-0 defeat at home to Liverpool. The league-leaders dominated the game throughout, but despite registering 37 shots, created few chances of note in what was a spirited defensive performance from Thomas Frank's side. We chat about our midfield options going forward, possible changes in the backline with Rico Henry coming back into the...

On this week's episode, Mike and Dan reflect on FA Cup misery at home to Plymouth, followed up by a game-of-the-season contender against Manchester City. Thomas Frank made seven changes to his side for bottom-of-the-Championship Plymouth's visit to the Gtech at the weekend, and Brentford paid the price, losing to a late Morgan Whittaker goal and exiting the cup in the third round. Dan delves into...

David Mooney from The Blue Moon Podcast joins Mike to preview Manchester City's visit to the Gtech on Tuesday night. Brentford bowed out of the FA Cup following a shock third round defeat to bottom-of-the-Championship Plymouth Argyle, but Thomas Frank's side have the chance to bounce back against a Man City side that are far from their formidable best. What's gone wrong at City this season? Where...

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on OUR FIRST AWAY WIN OF THE SEASON! We briefly look back on defeat against Arsenal before tucking into a 5-0 away win at St. Mary's. An attacking lineup eased its way through a bottom-of-the-league Saints defence, and gave Thomas Frank's side its first victory on the road this season... only took until 2025! We chat through an outstanding Tweet...

On this week’s episode, Dan, Craig and Miranda reflect on our first home defeat of the season against Nott’m Forest, as well as the 0-0 draw at Brighton, and ANOTHER injury crisis… Nuno Espirito Santo’s high-flying Forest showcased as a defensive performance for the ages. The first team to prevent us from scoring at the Gtech this season, the visitors were worthy of the three points - we take a lo...

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect back on back-to-back losses in league and cup. A spirited second half performance wasn't enough to overturn a two-goal deficit against Chelsea, meaning our run of three consecutive wins at Stamford Bridge came to end. On another day, a point could've been a fair result, but our miserable record away from home continues. We were afforded a chance...

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on yet another three points at home, this time against Eddie Howe's Newcastle. We needed a response after a poor showing away from home against Villa, and that's exactly what we got. An attacking lineup was justified by sublime finishes from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, and we demonstrated defensive solidity in the second half too! Second half g...

On this week's episode, Mike, Callum and Dan discuss another loss on the road, this time at Villa Park. Fresh from a 4-1 thumping of Leicester at the Gtech, the Bees travelled to Birmingham in good spirits, but a 13-minute spell - in which Villa put three past us - meant it would be defeat on our travels yet again. How big a loss was Christian Norgaard in midfield? Is Ethan Pinnock on the decline?...

On this week's episode, a full house dissects yet another three points at home, this time against Leicester City. Kevin Schade - after a a difficult start to the campaign - FINALLY gets his moment in the limelight, bagging a fantastic hat-trick and sending Brentford on their way to a comfortable 4-1 victory. How much can we take from our home games? How far off are we? Can we beat Villa in midweek...

On this week's episode, Mike, Callum, Craig and Dan reflect on a hard-fought point at Goodison Park. In a game that wasn't likely to produce many goals, Christian Norgaard's controversial red card just before half-time did little to help the quality of the game. A gritty second half performance - in which 10-man Brentford were the better team - earned Thomas Frank's side their first point on the r...

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan dissect another pulsating afternoon at the Gtech. Brentford run out 3-2 winners against in-form Bournemouth, coming from behind twice to secure all three points and leave us just three points off third...

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on the 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford against Manchester United. Ethan Pinnock's header in first half stoppage time saw the Bees take a 1-0 lead into the interval, but second half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund made it four defeats from four on the road for Thomas Frank's side. We chat about dropping points from winnings positions,...

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig, Dan and Ealing Road debutant Miranda reflect on a five-star performance against Wolves. Another early goal - this time from Nathan Collins - sent the Bees on their way to a more-comfortable-than-the-scoreline suggests 5-3 win over Gary O'Neil's Wolves. Mikkel Damsgaard shines, Ethan Pinnock has his best performance of the season, and Old Trafford awaits after t...

On this week's episode, Mike, Dan and Craig reflect on a tame 1-1 draw against West Ham at the Gtech. Brentford become the first team in Premier League history to score in the first minute of three consecutive games, but again, fail to pick up three points. The boys talk Keane Lewis-Potter after some frustration from the fans, as well as Fabio Carvalho's start to life at the Bees. We also talk abo...

On this week's episode, Mike and Craig look back on a positive performance at the home of the champions. We fell to a 2-1 defeat thanks to a brace from Erling Haaland, but Yoane Wissa's early goal had us dreaming of another famous day at The Etihad.
