Brentford captain Nathan Collins says the team thrives on creating 'carnage and chaos' to make opponents uncomfortable. The Bees finished 9th in the Premier League last season with 53 points (14W-11D-13L), defying pre-season relegation predictions under manager Keith Andrews.
What is Brentford's playing style?
Collins explains their success comes from a physical, imposing approach that disrupts opponents. 'We enjoy that part of it,' he says. 'We want a bit of carnage and chaos. We want to make teams feel uncomfortable.' The team excels at set-pieces, including long throws, making them hard to defend against.
How did Brentford perform last season?
Despite finishing 32 points behind leaders Arsenal, Brentford's recent form (DDDLW) showed consistency. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Liverpool on May 24, 2026. With 55 goals scored and 52 conceded, they balanced attack and defense well.
What are Brentford's ambitions for next season?
Collins is excited about new signings, including record-breaking Mali midfielder Mamadou Sangare from Lens. 'The new signings are really exciting,' he says. 'A few players from last season are going to step it up again.' The team aims to build on their near-miss for European qualification.
Currently, defender Sepp van den Berg is sidelined. The squad is in strong shape, and Collins hopes fans will continue their noisy support.
