Brentford financially are in good shape I imagine. Sell Toney and they'll have another 20m in the bank, plenty enough to find a replacement. I can't see them not being strong in the champ next year

Swansea won't be as strong I doubt. Would their parachute's stop next year, or is that already up?

Bournemouth - would have to sell players you'd think. They can't keep the players they have on their size of club. But they'd still have some quality

Barnsley - who knows.

So yeah, would like to see Brentford go up tbh

I presume next season Barnsley will get a Champions League place

Hendo Wonder if Brentford don't go up, they'll end up struggling next year. Especially, like you said, when they eventually lose Toney to a Prem team.


Agree - you can't guarantee getting it right time and time again, they could well sign a couple of less effective players

I'd also imagine the likes of Mbuemo would fancy a move to the prem if they miss out

They have no academy set up to speak of so are reliant on quality signings, throw a couple of duds in and the picture soon changes.

Yep, even an 80% success rate sees them drift sooner or later.

Won’t they just play Marcus Forss and change their style slightly to adapt to him. He has been a bit part player this season but if played as the number 1 striker and played every week I could see him being a great option to replace Toney if he did go.

10 goals in their last 18 games, failing to score in 12 of them.

Sheffield Wednesday winning. Goalscorer was offside.

Edit
No he wasn't.

Simmops DERBY DOWN!!!!!


8 mins of injury time at Derby in the first half though, that one could be finishing a good 5 mins after everyone else. Still as long as Rotherham can hold on.....

Derby have looked absolutely abysmal today. They are a shocking side and deserve nothing more.
