How Brentford's 2023 went: From beating the world's richest clubs to losing their talisman

What's likely to happen at Brentford during the January window - incomings, outgoings and a certain striker worry

Thomas Frank's side need to find ways to threaten defences without their two star forwards, who may not be at the club much longer

Brentford have become lethal from set pieces through a combination of evolving targets, intelligent running and incisive thinking
