Whatever happens, Brentford have exceeded expectations

Dango Ouattara and Keane Lewis-Potter dropped to the floor at the end of Brentford’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday. After being outplayed by their opponents, Brentford should have been pleased with the result. But, despite Ouattara’s late equaliser, there was a sense of deflation.For the second year in a row, Brentford had failed to win their final home game of the season and dropped points, which could ruin their dream of qualifying for European competition for the first time in their history. It felt awkward watching head coach Keith Andrews give a brief speech on the pitch and see the squad embark on a lap of appreciation in front of a disappointed fanbase.However, whatever happens, Brentford have exceeded expectations this season.Advertisement
