Episode 8 - Al & Val talk Norwich City and Brentford

The fixtures are coming thick and fast and already plenty of late drama. Tuesday night and a visit to another new stadium - Its Brentford;     We talk new grounds, Griffen Park and the Moneyballs, statistics-based strategy;     A club on the up but we explore the concept of the 'footballing hangover';     Southern League rivals and our 1st every fixture in Englands 2nd tier;     Emi's first Norwich goal and a big thank you to Sergi Canos;     Lambert in the stands at our lowest point and a Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash;     A rare defeat for Alex Neil as Pritchard bossed it and the Whittaker experiment fails.
