Looks like we’ll be stuck with Brentford again next year

Imagine if we faced Brentford in a play-off final? We'd both somehow manage to lose.

9 play-off campaigns for Brentford 0 promotions, them and Sheffield utd (8-0) are worse than us in that respect.

Brentfords front three are proper bottle jobs when it matters.
Benrhama looked hopeless.
Ref was lenient on Fulham as well. How many fouls did Hector commit?.
And one more thing, why do modern keepers leave massive gaps. Keepers always concentrated on making the goal look smaller....now they seem to leave big holes.

Shame. Would have been nice to see them in the Prem. Boring Fulham will just end up going down again next season.

Brentford just needed 1 win in the end against Stoke or Barnsley and bottled it, they then got themselves in the final and could be argued to have bottled it, Fulham are a good side but Brentford played nowhere near their best today.

Possibly because they're expected to come out a lot further to claim the ball at free kicks?

Yep. Leeds, West Brom and now Fulham showing that you need experienced pros and not just lucky dips from the continent, or a team full of academy grads, to get out of this division.

You mean we can’t just have some academy players plus a couple of young and hungry players?

Well yeah, that’s EXACTLY what each of the three promoted sides have modelled themselves on :roll:

My point is we need a few experienced pros, if we want to push from mid table upwards.

Have any of our midfield or attack ever won anything other than Baldock winning League Two in 2008?
