Ex Brentford analyst Ted Knutson joined Darren Fletcher and Jermaine Jenas on 5 Live to discuss how he was part of a team working on owner Mathew Benham's strategy of incorporating analytics to indentify players - many of them under the radar - as one part of Brentford's scouting 's system - alongside traditional scouting - in his time at the club.

This podcast sits alongside an interesting article written by Knutson in the recruitment of Konstantin Kerschbaumer - an outside attacking midfielder punt for Brentford (http://bit.ly/2oXaRjE).

Fulham needed a win to guarantee playoffs. Brentford were just happy to be there.

5000 Brentford fans had a great day out as Fulham were on tender hooks the whole game. And they went one up. Controlled the first half. But a Bentley penalty save turned the game and Nico Yennaris equalised for the Bees before half time.

Second half was a different story. Bees gave Fulham a few scares but in the end the game finished 1-1.

Leeds fluffed it. Drawing 3-3 against Norwich. So Fulham made the playoffs to their delight.
