Survival the Goal This Season
Brentford will undoubtedly have higher ambitions than survival in the forthcoming season, but the reality is, survival will need to be at the forefront of their minds. The Premier League is a ruthless place. As soon as you finally make it to the top, you can quickly find yourself kicked all the way back down.
The Bees need to approach the season with a combination of caution and eagerness to stick to their free-flowing football. If they can find the balance between the two then they should reach their goals. With a striker like Ivan Toney at their disposal, too, they’ll have more than enough firepower going forward.
As for the rest of the squad, quality remains easy to find with Onyeka the latest piece to Thomas Frank’s survival puzzle. The manager is attempting to create that all-important balance with in his squad; balance that should see them cause plenty of upsets next season.
The Bees are a prime example of the type of teams coming out of the Championship. They play free-flowing, brave football which takes the fight to those at the tops, making them a side fit for success this season.
