Brentford go into their final home game of the season with European dreams very much alive… but to achieve those this game is a must win in all honesty. Having gone down 3-0 at Manchester City last time out, three points will be in the players’ cross-hairs and if those are achieved, and one or two other results go our way, The Bees could know their fate even before the match at Liverpool in the final match.

Billy ’The Bee’ Grant and Dave ‘Laney’ Lane hook up to talk about last week and this week, announce their end of season exclusive interview with Keith Andrews

There are also contributions from Jacob Gowler with his stats and tactical analysis, Jonathan Burchill with some wicked Facts-n-Funk and Dee Kurnaz from Palace podcast ‘The Back of the Nest’ who gives is a great lowdown on events at Selhurst Park as The Eagles look ahead to a European Cup final. https://shows.acast.com/holmesdaleradio

Billy TheBee Grant speaks to Brentford and Manchester City fans in the stands and streets after the Bees’ tough afternoon at the Etihad.

City showed their quality and punished Brentford clinically, but there’s still plenty to chew over - from the Bees’ approach and key moments in the match to the travelling fans who kept singing throughout.

We look back at where the game was won and lost, whether the scoreline told the full story, and what Brentford take into the next fixture as the season heads towards its conclusion.
