Thomas Frank loves stats.
So I pitched him a few to highlight the 44 points Brentford have dropped from winning positions since August 2023.
One stood out to him and is now something he is keen to address.

Fabio Carvalho, Antoni Milambo, and Gustavo Nunes are set to start for Brentford U21s away to Bromley in the EFL Trophy this evening.

It is the first season since Brentford won promotion from League One in 2013/14 that they have started a league campaign 5 games undefeated.

2.71 - Brentford have played seven Premier League games on a Friday and won six of them (D1). Their points-per-game average of 2.71 on Fridays is the best of any side to play 3+ matches on a specific day of the week in the competition’s history.
Favourite.
Jaidon Anthony scored 17 goals in 2 seasons at Burnley and none of them were with his head.
His first Brentford goal? A header.
Brentford's 10-game winless run in west London derbies comes to an end!
A quite extraordinary team performance topped off with a much-deserved Thiago goal and an incredible moment for Carvalho.
To keep a clean sheet against a free-scoring Chelsea should not be understated.
2 changes to the Brentford line-up that draw with Bournemouth last weekend.
Kayode reclaims his place at right-back from Hickey and Damsgaard replaces Sangare.
Balcombe is named in a PL squad for only the 5th time as Valdimarsson is absent for a 2nd game in a row.
No Gustavo Nunes in either the Under-21s or first-team squad this evening despite not being involved against Reading in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

A win tonight would be Brentford's first in a competitive west London derby since a 2-0 triumph away to Chelsea in October 2023.
Since then they have drawn 5 and lost 5 of 10 matches against the Blues and Fulham.
It would also represent a first home win since March 2023.

Carvalho said he'd never seen anyone care about injured players as much as Andrews does. The Brentford boss would check in with him and Milambo daily.
Andrews shares that his approach is shaped by the negative treatment he received as a player.

A familiar name on the bench for Reading as Kyreece Lisbie could play against his former club tonight.
The 22-year-old forward was with Brentford B for 2-and-a-half years before leaving for Colchester United in February 2025.
Despite being at Brentford for 18 years, Ellery Balcombe's only other appearances came in August 2023 against Newport County.
He saved twice in the penalty shoot-out as the Bees progressed to the Carabao Cup 3rd round after a 1-1 draw at Rodney Parade.
Carvalho is set to make his first appearance since November 2025 as he starts against Reading tonight!
Diouf makes his full debut in a heavily rotated line-up that includes Balcombe, who features in a first-team game for only the 2nd time in his career.
No Nunes, surprisingly.
Kaye Furo becomes the first Brentford player to win the U21 PL2 Player of the Month.
The 19-year-old scored 4 goals, including a hat-trick vs. Sunderland, and assisted 1 in the Young Bees' 2 games in August.
Antoni Milambo is set to play in his first competitive game since October 2025 as he starts for Brentford U21s vs. Everton U21s this afternoon.

Trailing 1-0 in second-half stoppage time...
Step up, Josh Stephenson! 👏

Kelleher has had a strong start to the season and deserves more than the one clean sheet he has.
Made identical saves to deny Moore against Tottenham, multiple important saves in draws with Leeds and Sunderland, and was excellent again this afternoon.
