A tough month ahead for the Bees?

Brentford's footballers must be wondering how they will survive the next few games.Our dear Brentford FC are playing Liverpool! / Manchester United! / Wolves / Everton!/ and Manchester City!Challenging times... but we must be proud of our local Club moving in such circles. Your thoughts?

Those pictures are fantastic Eric!The return of Josh Da Silva should make a big difference. It'll be like having a new signing and the Bees maybe lack an equivalent physical presence in midfield. The encouraging thing is that, despite the very high quality, there are at least three worse teams than Brentford in the division.

Before our last match I checked and 35 points keeps you in the Premiership every season of the past 5. We were 65% there half way in the season. So even if we lost the next five (our budget is minute vs all those moneybag clubs) I think we're still OK. My big regret this season is letting Norwich beat us with a couple of breakaways. I took one photo showing 8 of our players in their penalty area - gross over-commitment. My current season Bees photo blog is at https://www.flickr.com/photos/chericbaker/albums/72157719622688224

That's why it's the toughest league in the world. Brentford are definitely punching above their weight but even with a squad torn apart by injuries they are doing OK. We are more than half-way to survival based on previous Premiership seasone so I am not unduly worried.
