Interesting to see who manages 6th.
Bet the team that finished 7th will be more disappointed than the team that finishes 3rd.
They had the last laugh. Their equaliser cost us the two points which will probably force us to contest the play-offs.

You could say that about any match we have drawn this season. There's nothing special about Brentford. They're a half decent Championship team, no more, no less.
Shows how far we've come that 2 home draws are seen by some as a disaster.
Personally, as someone who exits through the Putney Gates, I thought it was hilarious watching QPR & Brentford fans celebrating like they'd won the World Cup.

The highlight of their season!
Sh1tty irrelevant club just living in our shadows.This has always been the case and always will be.Pointless plastic team with no history.

I think losing at Sunderland among other silly defeats earlier in the season and giving Cardiff such a huge points advantage probably had more bearing on our promotion chances.
I would prefer Derby to Middlesbrough or Preston.

I don't get this why are they shitty? Why dislike them so much? They are a local club with real supporters not plastic glory hunters, many of whom have put their hands in their pockets to keep them afloat (on two occasions that I can recall). They have been owned by the supporters, have had supporters on the Board, have had supporters work for nothing to help them survive. Personally I respect them.
Happy not to face them in the playoffs. I think they have been the team we've looked worst against in two legs out of the hopefuls.
Thought they were edging last game and they won at home. They along with Preston were the ones I was worrying about most.
I thought Brentford did well and deserve to be where they are. I blame us not them for that equaliser.

I also think highly of Preston. I remember they have mutants as their back four, and they are hard to come by.

It's all about the timing. Fresher and more raw. Objectively, of course, two points dropped at any time in the season is as relevant as those against Brentford.

Yes I am happy not to face Brentford in the playoffs, if that is where we end up. Looks as though it will be either Derby, Preston or Boro...

A poor club and definety 2nd rate compared with us.
However they have a small band of loyal fans and have had a good season and aproval for a new ground . They are not in debt, we should show a little respect for them

We have dropped 10 points in the fixtures against the current bottom 3 of Burton, Bolton and Sunderland. Cardiff dropped 3 (a defeat at Bolton).
I always reckon that our fan base and Brentford's fan base are almost exactly the same in terms of type of fan and background of fan. Most Brentford fans I've met I've really liked. Similarly, I like their ground and the pubs round there. I also respect the fact they went through some tough times like us and stayed loyal like us. To be honest there's nothing massively to dislike about them. The only reason I hate them is coz they seem to hate us so much. They treat every game against us like their cup final. If it wasn't for that I'd think they're alright and want them to do well.
