The afternoon was disappointing at Griffin Park, while Brentford sank 1-0 to West Brom.
The loss was a big blow to the hopes of the Bees to sneak into the play-offs, leaving them a lot of work to do if they want to do a late charge.
Here are the winners and the losers of the confrontation.
winners
Luke Daniels
It was another good performance from the experienced goalkeeper.
It was a blow for Brentford to be without new scorer, Daniel Bentley, as a result of the shoulder injury that he suffered against Middlesbrough last weekend, but to Daniels, there is certainly a member worthy of the name.
After Daniels returns after the international break, it will be up to Daniels to challenge Bentley for the number one jersey by the end of the season.
Time Lapse West Brom
The visitors certainly showed their experience by discovering the game at Griffin Park.
After the decisive goal, the Baggies took the initiative to see the game by all means necessary, using various techniques that are time consuming and frustrating both players and fans.
Visibly frustrated by their antics, Thomas Frank admitted it was part of the game and said after-game: "You can say you're surprised a great club does it, but that's what it is."
losers
Yoann Barbet
After inflicting a costly penalty on Sheffield United on Tuesday, Yoann Barbet had the opportunity to reverse his misjudgment.
The defender had a wonderful opportunity to give Brentford the lead before the break, again giving West Brom a free kick just before halftime.
Samibstone, unfortunately for Barbet, managed a superb save to defend the defender. A stop that changed the course of the game in favor of the Baggies.
Neal Maupay
It was not for lack of trying, but it was another match where the chances simply did not fall in front of Neal Maupay.
There is no doubt that the attacker plays an important role in the team as he works tirelessly and that he loses depth to reach the Brentford midfielder, but he will probably be frustrated by his lack of form.
However, with a temporary form and a permanent clbad, I'm sure it will not be long before he finds his shooting shoes again.
Brentford's hopes in play-off
It was still an ambitious goal, but it seems that Brentford's chances of reaching the top six could be out of reach.
The Bees are currently at eight points from the play-offs and with eight teams preventing them from qualifying – it seems like it would take a big stroke of luck to succeed now.
If only Brentford had won these last two games, I imagine that Griffin Park fans would now be very excited.
