Brentford's Player of the Season: Top Contenders
As the season draws to a close, Brentford fans have a pleasant dilemma on their hands—choosing the Player of the Season. With the performances we've witnessed this season, our dear Bees have not only shown they are Premier League stalwarts but have also made a compelling case for why they could go all the way to FA Cup glory and beyond. Let's take a closer look at the four stand-out players who have lit up our season:
Bryan Mbeumo: The Maestro of Griffin Park
Bryan Mbeumo, with arguably his best season in the famous red and white stripes, has simply been exceptional. Scoring 19 goals and delivering 8 assists, Mbeumo's understanding with Yoane Wissa has been nothing short of telepathic. At only 25, his talent is undeniable, and while we might cherish every magical performance from his left foot, the bittersweet reality is other clubs have their eyes on him.
Mikkel Damsgaard: The Danish Dynamo
Mikkel Damsgaard has seamlessly carried over his Euro 2020 form into the league, becoming a pivotal figure in our midfield. His ability to pick out passes that others don't even see has been a game-changer for us. Ranking alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah in the assists chart speaks volumes about the impact he has had this season.
Keane Lewis-Potter: The Versatile Virtuoso
Adapting to a new role can be challenging, but Keane Lewis-Potter has embraced it with open arms. His transition from a winger to a left-back in Rico Henry's absence has been a revelation. Not only has his defending seen significant improvement, but his attacking flair remains as bright as ever.
Yoane Wissa: The Goal-Scoring Gladiator
Yoane Wissa has proven time and time again that he's a reliable goalscorer. Leading the line with 18 goals, his capability to find the net with both simple and spectacular finishes has been vital. His joyful play and lethal partnership with Mbeumo have made him a fan favourite.
The Verdict
Each of these players has made a substantial contribution to our campaign, and choosing just one is a tough call. However, the synergy and goals provided by Mbeumo and Wissa have been particularly standout factors this season.
Looking Forward
With such talent in the squad, Brentford's future looks extremely promising. While we might be underdogs, our day in the sun is not far away, marching towards not just Premier League survival, but silverware and glory!
Now, to wrap up with a bit of fun at our neighbour's expense...
How many Chelsea fans does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but they need to borrow our ladder to reach those heights! Keep buzzing, Bees!
