Smith frustrated after Brentford’s promotion hopes disappear

Brentford boss Dean Smith admitted his frustration after a 2-0 defeat at Barnsley ended their play-off hopes.

The Bees started brightly at Oakwell but the home side upset the form book and ensured there will be no top-six finish for Smith’s team despite their excellent performances during the second half of the season.[phone]

“The assessment was we were in total control for 15 minutes,” Smith said.

“They wandered into our half and scored a spawny goal with a deflected effort that’s hit the crossbar and gone in.

“You know when your luck is against you and that certainly shows you. I think it gave Barnsley a lift because it was the only time they’d been in our half, I think.

“Our final ball or our decision-making just let us down.”
