Season Review edit

August edit

Brentford's season began with a 2–2 draw against Ipswich Town. Kevin Bru and Ryan Fraser netted for the visitors but stoppage time goals from Andre Gray and James Tarkowski sealed a point for the Bees.[3] Brentford then welcomed Oxford United to Griffin Park for the League Cup First round but were thrashed 0–4 after fielding a weakened team.[4] During this match, new signing Andreas Bjelland suffered a significant injury to the left knee and was forced out of action for 9 months.[5] On 14 August, Brentford signed right-back Maxime Colin from Anderlecht for an undisclosed fee to replace Moses Odubajo who left to join Hull City.[6] Jota underwent surgery after suffering damaged ankle ligaments in the opening match of the season against Ipswich Town and was expected to be out for around 3 months.[7] On 21 August, Brentford's previous season top goal scorer Andre Gray joined Burnley for a club record fee.[8] Burnley were Brentford's next opponents where they lost 1–0 to a first half Michael Keane header in a game where Gray was ineligible.[9] Brentford then hosted Reading but succumbed to a 1–3 defeat after a poor first half.[10] At the end of the month, Brentford brought in two loan signings: Marco Djuricin from Red Bull Salzburg for a season, and Sergi Canós from Liverpool on an initial half-season loan.[11][12]

September edit

On transfer deadline day, Brentford concluded their summer transfer business with the signing of midfielder Ryan Woods from Shrewsbury Town for a reported £1 million.[13] Brentford also extended the contract of injured striker Scott Hogan until the end of the 2017–18 season as he continued his recovery from a damaged anterior cruciate ligament.[14] Brentford returned to action after the international break with a 1–1 draw away to Leeds United. Djuricin scored in the first half on his debut but Leeds equalised late in the second half after Woods, also on his debut, lost the ball in midfield which led to Mirco Antenucci slotting past Button.[15] Brentford then travelled to Middlesbrough where they lost 3–1. A brace from Cristhian Stuani followed by a goal from Albert Adomah were enough to leave Brentford in 21st place, just above the relegation zone.[16] Dijkhuizen celebrated his first home win at Brentford against Preston North End. Brentford had conceded within the first minute to a Daniel Johnson finish but won the vital three points after goals from Vibe and Djuricin in the second half with substitute Sergi Canós making a noticeable difference when he came on.[17][18]

On 26 September, Brentford suffered defeat at home against Sheffield Wednesday in a game which finished with 10 men on each team. James Tarkowski was sent off in the first half with Atdhe Nuhiu scoring the resulting penalty. Alan Judge then curled home after a wonderful long pass from goalkeeper David Button. Jérémy Hélan was sent off for a second bookable offence shortly after but with Brentford pushing for a winner, Lucas João scored the decisive goal in the 90th minute which secured Brentford's fourth defeat in six games.[19] Following that loss, on 28 September, Brentford announced that Dijkhuizen and his assistant, Roy Hendriksen had parted company with the club. Lee Carsley was promoted to First Team Head Coach alongside his assistant Paul Williams with Bees legend Kevin O'Connor replacing Carsley as Development Squad Head Coach.[20][21] Carsley's first game in charge of Brentford was a 0–2 home defeat to Birmingham City. Second half goals from Michael Morrison and former Bee Clayton Donaldson sealed the win for the Blues.[22]

October edit

On 1 October, Brentford signed Chelsea midfielder John Swift on an initial one month youth loan.[23] Swift made his debut as a sub in Brentford's next game against Derby County. However, he was unable to stop Brentford losing 0–2 in what was a very poor performance overall for the Bees. Chris Martin and Tom Ince scored the goals for Derby in the first half.[24] During the international break, Josh Clarke joined Barnet on loan until the start of 2016.[25] Domestic football returned to Griffin Park with a 2–1 win over Rotherham United. Judge scored two goals with the first one being a fine volley from the edge of the area. Rotherham had equalised through Joe Mattock straight after the break but Judge soon struck again, this time with a powerful header.[26]
