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 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]
