During the1922–23 English football season,Brentford competed in theFootball League Third Division South and finished in 14th place.

Season summary

[edit]

Inside forward Billy Clayson was one of the few successful signings ofBrentford's early years in theFootball League.^[1]

After a promising 9th-place finish at the end of the1921–22 Third Division South season,Brentford player-manager Archie Mitchell retired from playing in order to concentrate solely on management.^[2] Financial problems during the off-season meant that the squad was hit by the triple-departure offorwards Harry Anstiss,George Pither and long-servingwing half Alf Amos to league rivalsMillwall.^[3] The previous season's leading goalscorerHarry Morris was successfully retained and the money generated from the sales allowed the squad's wages to be paid through the off-season.^[4]^[5] 11 new players were transferred in, with a contingent from theNorth East, including full backGeorge Kell,half backs Bill Inglis andJohn Haggan and forwardsGordon Johnstone,Reginald Parker,Harry Stott andJohn Thain.^[5] TrainerMichael Whitham was replaced by former Bees managerDusty Rhodes.^[5]

Despite Harry Morris scoring 10 goals in an 11 match spell early in the season,^[6] by early November 1921, Brentford were rooted in mid-table.^[7] A failure to convert draws into wins dropped the club down to 18th onChristmas Day and the sales of Harry Morris to Millwall and long-servingfull back Bertie Rosier toClapton Orient in February 1923 exacerbated the team's problems scoring and conceding goals.^[7]^[8]^[9] Though never looking in any danger of having to seekre-election, a run of goals from Gordon Johnstone and Reginald Parker inspired a seven match unbeaten spell from mid-March to mid-April which lifted Brentford to 14th.^[7]^[6] Three draws and two defeats in the final five matches of the season saw the Bees secure a 14th-place finish.^[7]
