Battling Bees irritated the formerly “mighty Leeds” in an exciting 1-1 draw. Strevens with the opener on 60” off his throat. Beckford with the equaliser on 70”.

Could be argued that Bees rode their luck as Beckford botched a few good chances. Brentford were stuck on the M40 for 3 hours on Friday so didn’t train. Andy Scott said “ A lot of these boys are from non-league so are used to driving themselves to matches so 3 hours in a luxury coach is fine”.

Eddie Gray is a gentleman.
