I respect the opinion of those who watch the youth and u23 games. However, during the commentary this evening they explained Brentford's rationale for dispensing with their academy and u23 teams as being that it was sanitised football that doesn't prepare players for competitive football.

Have you been chatting to Willo?

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
