The 2016–17 season is Brentford's 127th year in existence and third consecutive season in the Championship.[1] Along with competing in the Championship, the club will also participate in the FA Cup and League Cup. The season covers the period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017.
Season review
July
Brentford began the 2016-17 season with various transfers. Captain Jake Bidwell joined arch-rivals Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee on 1 July.[2] However, on the same day, Brentford also brought in three new players: Daniel Bentley, John Egan, and Romaine Sawyers after their contracts at their respective clubs expired.[3][4][5] On 8 July, defender Jack O'Connell joined Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee.[6] Later that day, Brentford kicked off their first pre-season friendly against Boreham Wood. A late Lewis Macleod header could not prevent defeat for the Bees as they lost 2-1.[7] On 9 July, Brentford travelled to Germany for a 7-day pre-season training camp. During their time there, Brentford played VfL Bochum and won 1-0 thanks to a first half Scott Hogan goal.[8] On 19 July, goalkeeper David Button joined local rivals Fulham for an undisclosed fee.[9] Brentford continued their pre-season with a trip to Wycombe Wanderers. New signing Egan scored his first goal for the club before the break but Dayle Southwell equalised with a header in the second half, leaving the final score as 1-1.[10] The first home game of the season was against 1. FC Kaiserslautern on 23 July. On a very hot day, Brentford took the lead after Alexander Ring inadvertently headed the ball into his own net in the second half. However, minutes later, Brentford conceded an equaliser from Róbert Pich to make the score 1-1.[11] Just three days later, Brentford welcomed Peterborough United to Griffin Park. Paul Taylor scored for the Posh early on after a Tom Field mistake, but despite dominating the rest of the game, Brentford could not beat the opposition goalkeeper.[12] On 30 July, Brentford announced the season-long loan of Callum Elder from Leicester City as a replacement for Bidwell at left back.[13] Elder made his first appearance for the club in a testimonial match against Millwall to honour former captain Tony Craig. The match finished 1-1 after Yoann Barbet's early free kick was cancelled out by Steve Morison's header. [14] Brentford's pre-season concluded with only one win from six matches.
August
Forward Lasse Vibe was called up for Denmark in the 2016 Summer Olympics and so would miss Brentford's first few games of the season.[15] Brentford began their Championship campaign away to Huddersfield Town where they finished their previous season. Elias Kachunga put the hosts in front in the first half with Nico Yennaris equalising after coming off the bench in the second half. However, substitute Kasey Palmer scored the winner after a good Bentley save.[16] On 8 August, midfielder Akaki Gogia joined Dynamo Dresden on a season long loan.[17] The following day, Brentford announced the signing of Emmanuel Ledesma, who had been training with The Bees during pre-season, on a non-contract basis.[18] He was available for the EFL Cup First Round tie against League Two side Exeter City. In a disappointing display, Brentford suffered a 1–0 defeat after extra time thanks to a good Ryan Harley finish from inside the penalty box.[19] Brentford made amends with a convincing 2–0 victory against Ipswich Town with Egan scoring both goals on his home competitive debut and also Sam Saunders' 200th competitive game for the club.[20] Brentford's second home league game of the season finished 1–0 against Nottingham Forest. Hogan scored his first goal of the season after Stephen Henderson saved his and Macleod's earlier efforts. Despite going a man down, Forest finished the game on top, with Bentley keeping out a last minute one-on-one effort from Britt Assombalonga to secure all three points.[21] Vibe returned to Brentford's lineup in their next game against Rotherham United. While Brentford had played some promising football, they could not unlock the opposition defence and succumbed to a 1–0 defeat after conceding a dubious Danny Ward goal which had appeared offside.[22] A week later, Brentford hosted Sheffield Wednesday at Griffin Park. Wednesday dominated the first half and was unlucky to not be ahead by half-time. It would be Brentford that broke the deadlock first in the second half after a clearance by goalkeeper Keiren Westwood cannoned off the onrushing Vibe and bounced into the net. Both teams went down to 10 men after David Jones received a second yellow card for dissent while the goalscorer Vibe also received a second yellow card. In the dying minutes, and with Brentford camped outside their box, Wednesday equalised as Sam Hutchinson headed in a Barry Bannan free kick.[23]
It was a busy transfer deadline day for Brentford with one departure and two new arrivals. Ledesma left the club to join Greek side Panetolikos after being informed that he would not be offered a contract.[24] Left back Rico Henry joined from Dean Smith's previous club Walsall on a five year contract for an initial fee of £1.5 million that could rise to over £5 million in add-ons.[25] Winger Sullay Kaikai joined on loan from Crystal Palace until the end of the season.[26] Also on transfer deadline day, midfielder Ryan Woods signed a new four-year contract to extend his stay until 2020.[27]
September
After the international break, Brentford travelled down to the south coast to play Brighton & Hove Albion. In a hard fought match, Hogan scored his first goal after racing away from the Brighton back line to slot home in the first half. Brentford's defence had to work hard to shut out the Seagulls with Egan having to clear a header off the line. Hogan's left foot finish high into the net from an angle made sure the Bees took home the three points.[28] On 14 September, Brentford travelled to Villa Park to face Aston Villa for the first time in over 60 years.[29] Villa appeared to be coasting to a win after new signing Jonathan Kodjia fired in a stunning curler in the first half but Brentford dug deep and, in the 88th minute, Egan fired in the equaliser with the help of two deflections to give Brentford a share of the points.[30] Brentford then returned back to Griffin Park to face Preston North End. It was a tight match in the first half with Hogan's left foot finish after Sawyers' through ball the only goal separating the two sides at the break. However, Preston collapsed after Dean fired in from a corner. The Lilywhites had to finish the game with 10 men when Marnick Vermijl was forced off due to injury with all their substitutions having already been made. Preston conceded 3 goals in almost as many minutes with Hogan completing his hat-trick and Chris Humphrey scoring an own goal. The match ended 5–0 to the Bees.[31] Brentford's next match was against Wolverhampton Wanderers which finished 3–1 against the Bees. João Teixeira scored a brace with the first one coming after Josh McEachran was dispossed in the Wolves half and the second one a free kick that found its way into the net after a dubious decision by the referee to penalise Woods. Kaikai's first goal for the club was not enough to rescue a point for the visitors as Ivan Cavaleiro slotted under Bentley late on.[32] Brentford's impressive home form continued with a 4–1 drubbing of Reading. Josh Clarke scored his first goal for the Bees after a lovely passing move with Vibe adding to the score just before half-time. After the break, Maxime Colin also netted his first goal for the club with a high finish from an angled. Yann Kermorgant gave Reading some hope with a converted penalty after Yennaris tripped Stephen Quinn but it was not to be for the R's as Hogan netted his 7th goal of the season after McEachran's cute pass on the edge of the box. [33]
Hogan won the Championship Player of the Month award for September after scoring 6 goals in 5 matches.[34]
October
Brentford extended their home unbeaten run to 10 games with a goalless draw against Wigan Athletic.[35] After the international break, Brentford made the journey north-east to face promotion favourites Newcastle United. Ciaran Clark nodded in the opener with Dwight Gayle also scoring within the first quarter of an hour as well as early in the second half. While Hogan netted his 8th goal of the season, it only proved to be a consolation to a much better side.[36] Brentford's next match came against Derby County where a solid defensive display meant the game finished 0–0.[37] On 20 October, midfielder Alan McCormack was charged for "using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official" which "included a reference to gender" during a Cardiff City match in April. McCormack was suspended for five matches and fined £6,000 as well as being ordered to attend a training course.[38] Brentford celebrated their 4000th English Football League match at Griffin Park against Barnsley
