Mid-season signings Jimmy McCree, Bert Young and new captain Alex Graham failed to strengthen the team,Haynes 1998 64 though four goals in 9 late-season appearances from new acquisition Jack Lane at least inspired the team to score 12 goals in the matches in which he played.White 1989 368 Brentford finished the 1924–25 season in 21st place and successfully applied for re-election to the Football League.Haynes Graham A-Z Of Bees: Brentford Encyclopedia 1998 Yore Publications 1 874427 57 7 Harefield, Middlesex 107 Though statistically it was not Brentford's worst season, many Football League club records were set or equalled during the campaign, including fewest away victories (1), fewest victories (9), fewest draws (0), consecutive home draws (4), most away defeats (20), most defeats (26), fewest away goals scored (10), fewest goals scored (38) and most away goals conceded (65).Brentford http://www.statto.com/football/teams/brentford/records live https://web.archive.org/web/20160304193423/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/brentford/records 4 March 2016 12 May 2016 Statto.comHaynes 1998 79 A 7–0 defeat to Swansea Town on 8 November 1924 is Brentford's joint-worst league defeat and together with a 7–1 defeat to Plymouth Argyle on 6 September 1924, is a joint-club record for most goals conceded in an away league loss.
