There really could be three established sides going down from the PL this season. Wolves and West Ham look atrocious and Forest are owned by an absolute whackjob.

I expect West Ham will get out of it eventually but wolves are nailed on to go down this season just like we did in 2022/23 when a combination of us being poor coupled with the newly promoted sides doing well, sealed our fate. Same will happen to wolves this season. I’d imagine Leeds will just about have enough to stay up and Sunderland would now have to have an absolute shocker to go down. My 3 to go currently, would be Wolves, Burnley, and Forest, with West Ham and Brentford also right down there but staying up

Brentford looked really good tonight I thought

West Ham were truly atrocious in that match tonight, the stats tell the story of how dominant Brentford were in West Ham's home game. I think Hammers fans are getting what they deserve for their attitude towards David Moyes when he was in charge and doing a good job.

Brentford showed tonight what good recruitment can do. They've sold so many quality players yet still keep unearthing gems. Clearly they go for big, strong, powerful players. No surprise that Walker Peters and Fernandes were withdrawn at half time by West Ham - two of our better ex players simply could not cope with the physicality of Brentford. One day our recruitment team will wake up and realise you need some muscle, pace and power in a squad these days if you want to compete.

West Ham fans loved Fernandes after his first match, wonder what they think of him now 🤔

Great comments reference recruitment by Brentford when compared to what we have done. They look streets ahead of our lot.

Indeed and the sad thing is it's hardly rocket science. Every good side is packed with power, pace and strength.
