A bit negative with the final comment. The facts are:
Firstly, but for the quite shocking goal given away by the Brentford Mepham/Bentley the shoreline would have been victory for Brentford.
Secondly, Brentford scored plenty of goals last season (and missed more than they should have), but the real problem was a leaky defence that gave away far too many soft goals. How many points were lost from winning positions?
Add the overall leaky defence last year to the poor start and Automatic promotion was there for the taking. As I understand it this season the defence in general is better (and better structured) and the early start provides the same points tally (7) seven games earlier – so why be negative?
