Brentford are like us last time we were in the prem

Enthusiastic, optimistic and a novelty for the others - I expect reality will hit soon enough. When Leeds went up, they had the nouse to know what to expect defensively but from the limited experience I have of the Bees, I really think they're doing to struggle as we did.
