Pulcinella

Why do all these rumours start with a mate in the back office?

And that’s how good our summer signings have been. The strength we’ve got in depth is the best I remember for a very long time.

It’s also about gaining momentum. Well done lads, a few more of these please and then some.

It’s too early in the season for knee jerk reactions. If we average 2 wins and 1 loss that’s a better points score than 2 draws and a win

Sorry, why has this thread got 9 pages already? At the stage we’re at, at the stage Sol Campbell is, it’s never going to happen.

Surely this means he's in prime position to be our manager.

Am I the only one who doesn't know how to process being top of the league? It feels so weird, good weird, but still weird. I keep having to check the league table. I don't know what to do without anything to complain about .

Abdi’s a better score in Scrabble

I for one am looking forward to Winnall getting his chance again. Couldn't even get onto the bench - there were so many strikers ahead of him. Give him the chance, I hope he can be a dark horse. He showed ability before we signed him, so why not.

Guys I'm getting a bit fed up of not knowing what this Paxo is. Can anyone spill the beans?

Isn’t Hooper still available? Is this a cunning plan to get rid of Joao and Rhodes and re-sign Hooper on a lower salary? Seem to remember Bruce offering to comment that Hooper was let go because of wages.

7 of our starting 11 have been around since Carlos’ first season. We’ve a good spine and who knows, this could our season.

I’d love to hear a Brentford fan’s perspective on Odubajo. I thought they were sad to see him go. He’s having a poor run for us at the mo - I hope there’s a lot more in his locker and this run is just a blip.

Why the pessimism? Our performances in the closed season have shown a lot of promise, and the new guys that we've got in add well to our squad. Yes we let go of Hooper & Matias, but Hooper was injured much of the time - and our strikers have been doing fine without him. And as for Matias, he was hot and cold. Come on guys, up the Owls. We're going to storm the league!

I coming round to the opinion that we should just let Lee Bullen have a run at being the manager. He's got Owl blood running through his veins and the passion to do his best for us. Better than appointing someone we don't really want.
