After so much optimism about the possibility of achieving automatic promotion in recent months, Brentford head into the final few months of the campaign 11 points off the top-two. 

Thomas Frank's were breathing down Leeds United's necks after beating Middlesbrough less than four weeks ago, but five Championship matches without victory has left the Bees in danger of slipping out of the top-six positions.

Brentford squandered a two-goal lead at Cardiff City on Saturday, which left them three points above seventh-placed Bristol City, who're just a couple of points ahead of a host of other sides hoping to squeeze into the play-off positions.

And, it doesn't get any easier for Frank's men over the coming weeks, with tricky-looking games to come against both Fulham and West Brom in the next fortnight.

Brentford took to Instagram with their upcoming fixtures in March, and fans reacted worryingly by predicting how many points the Bees will pick up during the next month.
