At the time of Halliday's first match in charge, Brentford had been rooted to the bottom of the Third Division South for nearly a month.[4] Halliday fared little better than his predecessor, despite a 10-match spell from mid-December to early February which saw the Bees lose just three times.[4] Mid-season signings Jimmy McCree, Bert Young and new captainAlex Graham failed to strengthen the team,[6] though four goals in 9 late-season appearances from new acquisition Jack Lane at least inspired the team to score 12 goals in the matches in which he played.[4][7]
Brentford finished the 1924–25 season in 21st place and successfully applied for re-election to the Football League.[8] Though statistically it was not Brentford's worst season, many Football League club records were set or equalled during the campaign, including fewest away victories (1), fewest victories (9), fewest draws (0), consecutive home draws (4), most away defeats (20), most defeats (26), fewest away goals scored (10), fewest goals scored (38) and most away goals conceded (65).[9][10] A 7–0 defeat to Swansea Town on 8 November 1924 is Brentford's joint-worst league defeat and together with a 7–1 defeat to Plymouth Argyle on 6 September 1924, is a joint-club record for most goals conceded in an away league loss.[9]
