A strong run in the middle of the season saw the Bees hold the second promotion place throughout March 1934, before a slight drop in form led the club to a still-impressive 4th-place finish. Season summaryIn preparation for Brentford's first-ever season in the Second Division, manager Harry Curtis brought in a number of younger players to replace ageing full backs Tom Adamson, Alexander Stevenson and half back captain Jimmy Bain. Curtis stuck with the same free-scoring strikeforce of the previous season, electing to add only outside left Charlie Fletcher from Clapton Orient.{{Sfn|Haynes & Coumbe|2006|p=58}} Despite winning just 6 of the opening 16 matches of the season, Brentford found themselves in 8th place, before a run of 8 wins in 11 matches put the club into the second promotion place on 3 February 1934.[1] Manager Curtis had made an astute purchase in the transfer market in January, purchasing Southend United's full back Arthur Bateman as a replacement for Tom Adamson.{{Sfn|Haynes & Coumbe|2006|p=17}} 2nd place was held until a defeat to Bradford City on 24 March dropped Brentford back to 3rd, with results in the following four matches dropping the club to 4th.[1] A 2–0 win over Swansea Town on 14 April saw the Bees rise back to the one remaining promotion place, with just three matches to play.[1] Defeat to Millwall in the first of those matches dropped Brentford back to 4th,[1] but a resounding 5–0 victory over Lincoln City in the penultimate match of the season left the Bees knowing that a draw and favourable results for 2nd-place Preston North End and 3rd-place Bolton Wanderers on the final day would be enough to secure promotion to the First Division.[2] Despite Brentford's 2–1 victory over Bury at Gigg Lane on the final day, victory for Preston North End saw the Lilywhites pip Bolton Wanderers into the second promotion place,[3] with Brentford forced to settle for a still-brilliant 4th-place finish in the club's first season in the second tier of English football.[4] Just one of Brentford's 85 goals during the season came from a player who was not a forward, centre half Joe James and the tally of 8 goalscorers was at that time the lowest in club history.[8][5] Jack Holliday top-scored with an impressive 27 goals, while Idris Hopkins flourished at the higher level, scoring 21 times.[8] Ernest Muttitt, Billy Scott and Charlie Fletcher ably supported Holliday and Hopkins by also scoring in double-figures.[8] League table{{main|1933–34 Football League Second Division}}{{:1933–34 Football League|transcludesection=Second Division|showteam=BRE}}ResultsBrentford's goal tally listed first.
