    Only One League Defeat But Plenty Of Questions - Is Andrews Feeling The Heat? | Brentford v Nottingham Forest Preview Podcast Part 2

    Billy TheBee Grant and Dave “Laney” Lane look ahead to Nottingham Forest's visit to West London We start by talking Keith Andrews. Some Bees fans are questioning his style of football, the number of draws, his team selections and whether his approach is getting the best out of the squad. We ask with the challenges of a manager's second season thrown into the mix, are the criticisms justified? Especially when Brentford have lost just one league game We look back at Hull and Sunderland, with Jacob The Gowler Gowler from Bees Breakdown providing the stats and tactical insight. JB brings plenty of facts and a little bit of funk Then Matt from Forest Focus joins us to discuss Forest's season, their form and why things might not be quite as bad as they look And we couldn't let Matt go without discussing Forest grassing up Crystal Palace, helping send Palace into the Conference League while Forest took their Europa League place. Palace went on to win it. Was grassing them up really worth it? Plus, The Gowler from Bees Breakdown returns with the tactical lowdown on the Forest clash. Part 1 featuring Matt from Forest Focus is also available right here https://shows.acast.com/the-beesotted-brentford-pride-of-west-london-podcast/episodes/forests-results-dont-match-their-stats-can-brentford-take-ad Get involved in the Beesotted Prediction League: beesotted.footballscoreline.com FOLLOW us at PrideOfWest.London Buy us a beer at beesotted.com/beer.

    Forest's Results Don't Match Their Stats, Can Brentford Take Advantage? | Brentford v Nottingham Forest Preview Podcast Part 1 Featuring Forest Focus

    Billy The Bee Grant sits down with Matt from Forest Focus for Part 1 of our Nottingham Forest preview series, as the Bees prepare to welcome Forest to West London Forest are 18th in the Premier League with just six points from eight games. But here's the curious bit - their underlying statistics suggest they should have around 14 points. So are Forest a decent side suffering a dreadful run of luck, or is there more to their struggles than the numbers suggest? We discussed: The stats puzzle - Forest have an expected goals tally of 13.3 but have scored just six. Is poor finishing costing them points, or are the numbers flattering them?Oliver Glasner under pressure - Can the manager turn promising performances into results, and how much time will he get to do it?The key players - We discuss Morgan Gibbs-White, Liam Delap, Dan Ndoye and who's stepping up when Forest need them.The bigger picture - Evangelos Marinakis' ambitions, managerial changes and whether Forest have a clear long-term plan.Brentford v Forest - The visitors did the double over the Bees last season. Can they repeat the trick, and where might Keith Andrews' side find opportunities? There's a fascinating contrast between the two sides. Forest have created almost as many expected goals as Brentford, and their underlying defensive numbers are better. Yet the Bees have 11 points to Forest's six and have scored 14 goals to their six. Can Brentford take advantage of Forest's wastefulness, or are the statistics warning us not to underestimate the visitors? Part 2 is available on PrideOfWest.London, with Billy The Bee Grant and Dave 'Laney' Lane discussing the Hull and Sunderland games on the journey back from Sunderland, before turning their attention to Forest Get involved in the Beesotted Prediction League at Beesotted.Footballscoreline.com and put your score predictions to the test.
