Stranded Sanguine A real shame for Brentford. 7 wins in a row, and but failed to win either of their last two, one of which would have taken them up.
They simply couldn't handle any form of pressure and would be tempted to put money on them losing to Swansea as a result. The 7 straight wins was a great run but there was absolutely no pressure on them at that point - to then be faced with 2 sides they would have beaten 3 weeks ago, they choked.
If the Play-off final ends up being Cardiff-Swansea, the EFL might be pleased it is behind closed doors.
Not too dissimilar to Villa’s run last season though, they went on a long winning streak to cement their playoff place and then lost the last couple of games before winning the playoffs
In fairness to Barnsley too, they seem to fare better against the top teams. Dominated Leeds away from home, drew with WBA, did the double over Fulham, beat Brentford yesterday, beat Millwall away, beat Forest on Sunday, drew to Swansea twice etc. Was against the teams around them that they struggled
