Reading the title, you probably think the writer is mad, and I don't blame you at all.

For much of Brentford's history, they have been a club lingering in the lower divisions.

In fact, to see the Bees as high as they are now you have to go back 25 years to 1992 when they were in the old Division One (now known as the Championship), but only lasted one year before suffering instant relegation.

The current manager, Dean Smith, had come under a lot of criticism earlier in the season but for a team only in their third season at this level for over two decades, I personally don't think a mid-table position is all that bad.

I'm always a big fan of promising youngsters from the lower leagues making it into the top two tiers, and Brentford have quite a few who fit that category.

Whilst much of their squad were there when they gained promotion from League One in 2014, the club have added a number of useful acquisitions with a very limited budget.

Ex-Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran, who was tipped for the top at such a young age, is finally finding his feet this term and looks to be fulfilling the potential he had five or six years ago.

However, as I previously mentioned, there's a few players who they've had to pick up from the division below in order to compete with some of the Championship's very best.

John Egan arrived last summer after his contract expired at Gillingham, and recently put pen-to-paper to commit his long-term future to the cause at Griffin Park.

He's a very promising defender who is commanding and wasn't given the chance at Sunderland but looks to be flourishing now.

Walsall duo Romaine Sawyers and Rico Henry have also got plenty of years left as professional footballers.

The former did get a lot of slating but looks to be proving his doubters wrong.

Henry, 19, has been forced to sit on the sidelines for much of the season but is now back in training and competition for places at left back is hotting up.

Brentford have a small squad, but a team who know each other really well and there's fighting for each position on the pitch - something that can only be a positive for Dean Smith as he has a determined group.

The squad is young and bright, along with a new stadium on the way, the Bees can only be going up and in the next ten years may be an established top flight club.

Brentford supporters, do you agree with this? Is the future bright at Griffin Park? Is there room for improvement or is it just time before the team pick up results on a regular basis?
