Why I'm OK with Brentford not qualifying for Europe
After back-to-back away wins at West Ham and Leicester last month, there was talk of Brentford mounting a late push to get into Europe, although the home draw with Everton was a bit of a reality I have already seen the Bees play in Europe, having twice travelled to Italy to see us in the Anglo-Italian Cup in 1992, I think a repeat next season is not going to happen - and here's I have said in previous pieces, this season Brentford have largely been very good against teams below us and pretty poor against those above our 11 Premier League wins so far, nine have come when we faced teams in the bottom half, with the only exceptions the home defeats of Bournemouth and that our next seven games are all against top-half teams, including trips to Bournemouth, Newcastle, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, the chances of such a dramatic switch in form at this stage of the season seem that's fine!I will take a nice comfortable mid-table Premier League finish any time after years of watching us in the lower divisions. While that might not sound ambitious, it is still only four years into our Premier League life.I would have preferred safety in the league to go hand-in-hand with a nice cup run, but in the FA Cup that would have been unlikely this season, given that our conquerors Plymouth were then drawn against Liverpool and Manchester remaining games might be the perfect opportunity to give more time to one or two of our youngsters in preparation for any possible big-name departures in the more from Ian Westbrook at Beesotted podcast, external

'We ran out deserved winners'
Brentford's 1-0 win at West Ham on Saturday continued our remarkable record against them since we were promoted from the Championship four years have now won six and drawn one of our eight Premier League matches with the Hammers, our best record against any of the 13 clubs who we have played in each of our four seasons in the game should have been over by half-time because as well as our goal, we had two other efforts disallowed, hit the post and missed other decent resisted a West Ham rally inspired by their half-time substitutes early in the second half and, while you are always worried that something will go wrong when you only have a one-goal lead to defend, we ran out deserved was also our first 1-0 Premier League victory since beating Manchester City by the same score on the final day of the 2022-23 season - 63 games it was the first time any of our league matches have finished 1-0 since our defeat at Everton towards the end of last another note, a 15:00 Saturday game in London is always one to look forward to - but we do not officially know when our next similar kick-off anywhere will our next five matches, three are evening games and the other two are 17:30 kick-offs on are scheduled to host Chelsea in a west London derby at 15:00 on Saturday, 5 April, but the TV selections have not been made yet so that - and our subsequent games that month - could still be more from Ian Westbrook at Beesotted podcast, external
