2008–09 season of Brentford F.C.
Brentford 2008–09 football season
During the 2008–09 English football season, Brentford competed in Football League Two . The club finished the season as champions to win promotion to Football League One .
Season summary [ ]
The 2008–09 season was Brentford 's second consecutive campaign in League Two , after relegation to the fourth tier for the first time in 9 years at the end of the 2006–07 season.[1] Manager Andy Scott , who was beginning his first full season in the job, had signed a new five-year contract in April 2008.[2] Despite working with a "mediocre budget",[3] he brought in 12 new players – 8 on permanent deals and four on loan .[4] The pick of the signings were new forward Charlie MacDonald for an undisclosed fee from Southend United , central midfielder Marcus Bean from Blackpool on a free transfer and the re-signing on loan of goalkeeper Ben Hamer and central defender Alan Bennett from Reading until the end of the season.[4]
The season began with consecutive defeats in the league and League Cup to Bury and Swansea City respectively,[5] before an unbeaten run of 12 league matches put Brentford in the automatic promotion places.[6] Midfielder Glenn Poole continued his good form from the previous season by scoring seven goals during the run.[7] Two defeats in a row dropped the Bees to 9th in early November, before another unbeaten run put the club back in the automatic promotion places by 20 December.[6] Brentford moved into second position after a 2–0 victory over Bournemouth on Boxing Day and consistently good results kept the club on the tail of leaders Wycombe Wanderers through January and early February 2009.[6] [8]
A 1–1 draw with Accrington Stanley on 10 February moved the Bees moved into top spot and consistently good results,[9] aided by the goalscoring of January loan acquisition Jordan Rhodes ,[10] kept the club at the summit into mid-March.[6] Brentford and Wycombe Wanderers faced off at Griffin Park on 14 March in front of a season-high crowd of 10,642 and the match yielded a 3–3 draw,[9] with Aston Villa loanee Sam Williams "smashing in" late in proceedings to salvage a point for the Bees.[11] Three days later, a home defeat to Chesterfield was Brentford's first loss for six weeks, but the club remained at the top of the table.[6] Despite season-ending injuries to Jordan Rhodes, Nathan Elder , top scorer Charlie MacDonald and captain Kevin O'Connor ,[12] [13] [14] [15] manager Andy Scott strengthened the squad with a new front line of loanees Billy Clarke and Damian Spencer .[16] Central defender Darren Powell , who had played alongside Scott in Brentford's previous fourth-tier championship triumph a decade earlier, returned to the club on a short-term contract.[9]
Three draws in a row in late March and early April kept Brentford top,[6] before a first win for over a month was achieved in "The Battle of Bournemouth" on 13 April,[3] during which Darren Powell was sent off for fighting with teammate Karleigh Osborne .[17] Despite missing the chance to clinch promotion after a comprehensive defeat to play-off challengers Dagenham & Redbridge on 21 April, promotion and the League Two title were sealed with a 3–1 away win over Darlington in the penultimate match of the season.[9] Captain Kevin O'Connor and stand-in skipper Alan Bennett held the League Two championship trophy aloft after a 2–0 win over Luton Town at Griffin Park on the final day.[18]
