One more point to make certain, although GD really counts for that point.

51 of Brentford's 67 league goals this season have been scored by under-23 players:

23 • ?? Neal Maupay (22)
10 • ?? Saïd Benrahma (23)
10 • ??????? Ollie Watkins (23)
6 • ?? Sergi Canos (22)
1 • ??????? Rico Henry (21)
1 • ??????? Josh Dasilva (20)

The most of any Championship team. https://t.co/mpEl3uN729

I must admit that I was quite pleasantly surprised by this fact.

Since our Thomas Frank "turnaround" performance v Bolton in December, we have played 21 games with a total of 33 points.

Whilst some may think that our overall performance over those games has been "up and down", that average points per game would have seen us end up with 72 points over a full season.
That, as it stands, might just have got us into the play-offs!

Certainly, in context for next season, that is a real positive to build on!

We hopefully won’t be changing manager again, and the improvements we can make, particularly away from home, are evident.
So plenty of good stuff to look forward to.

Away days like yesterday are what football is all about.

Easter Bank holidays with great weather and the thought of Millwall and Leeds rather than the likes of Southend and Newport, a weekend I remember so well back in the 70’s

Thinking back over my 60 odd years of watching Brentford I am staggered by just how far we have come since MB became involved.

A new stadium just a season away, players on the pitch that we could never have dreamed about seeing and a style of football that, on its day, is just a joy to watch and, where we in the top division, would have the press and pundits creaming themselves.

Compare us with the fallen giants, Leeds, Forrest etc whose fans have an inflated opinion of where they should be, with owners that hire and fire coaches in a desperate drive for success and who spend absolute millions on second rate players.

Then consider those clubs that we perennially used to battle with, Tranmere Hartlepool etc, and where they are now, somewhere we could very easily have been as well and, most probably, on a continual downward spiral

Without MB we would be stuffed but nearly as important as MB’s generosity is the set up of the club in identifying potential from all over, developing and then selling. We are, I would suggest, the blue print for any club that has desires for sustainable success and I am sure that the dream of playing top league football is very much on the horizon.

For us fans we need to enjoy the players whilst we have them, secure that if they leave we are likely to obtain even better replacements and enjoy the football that is on offer.

We may not be a fallen giant like Leeds but are the new kids on the block and for us the future is extremely bright.”

I know TF was hoping for a return per game of 2pts as that apparently indicates (in my best Danish accent) a 'top top team'. I think being at 1.6pts per game is probably a true reflection over the course of the 21 matches. Given our excellent top 4 home form I'd rather not know the breakdown of our away haul over the same period, suffice to say it must be hovering around 1pt per game.

I know you said you have and I recall you saying why, but have another think about coming to the last ever game. If you don't, you might just regret it.

We can't finish any lower than 15th.

On the basis that we definitely play Bolton, if we win our last 2 games, we'll finish top half (unless Hull score a hatful in their last match).

We have the best goal difference by far of all the teams outside the play off places.

Knowing our system works.

Apparently last year Wolves finished 11 points ahead of that lot by the river. They both spent the same amount yet now there is 31 between them and one of them has been relegated

Following events at Anfield last night, are our claims to be the Barcelona of the Lower Leagues validated? :D:

Well I'd say that for the last 5 years we've not been "of the lower leagues" so it's a factually incorrect obsolete chant anyway.

Villa's promotion means we're up to 4th in next season's table, if only alphabetically.
