The most obvious chance to do that is at home. Four of the last seven are at the Gtech, against Everton, Fulham, West Ham and Crystal Palace. The reverse-fixture model already assumes wins over Everton and West Ham, but it also assumes defeats to Fulham and Palace. That is where the run-in has to improve. If Brentford are serious about turning a good season into a genuine European push, home games against sides in and around them cannot simply be written off as repeat losses. However, a win in each home game would only bring the 12 points, with some of the biggest challenges to come away from home.
