Taking a look now.....will make straightforward copyedits as I go and drop queries below...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 08:12, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Any reason why the history articles are divided at 1954 and 1986?
No as far as I can see. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 13:02, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Yeah I think it was pre-decided somewhere....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:56, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
Any commentary on why McLintock couldn't deliver?  Done added some info
Brentford flirted with the playoff positions during the 1987–88 season and in 1988–89,[4] a late run almost took the club into the playoffs - try not to use "playoffs" twice in the one sentence  Done
but an unbeaten run in the second half of the season... - traditional here to say how many matches...  Done
Perryman resigned on the eve of the 1990–91 season... - do we know why?  Done
and captain Terry Evans suffered a long-term injury on the opening day of the season. - may as well say what the injury was  Done
Just two defeats in 11 matches put the Bees up to 10th by the end of 1992 - am I missing something here? You didn't mention a poor start just before this...?  Done
The Bees were easily defeated 3–1 in the fifth round by Charlton Athletic, but too many draws late in the season dropped the club to a 3rd-place finish.. - "but" is odd here as they are both bad things so I can't see the contrast...? {[done}}
Finally - the trick is to avoid these articles turning into a chronological sequence of factoids - any analysis on why any manager did well or poorly, or any other bits on particularly good players would be good to add if you can find them.
A promising article with alot of heart in it...needs some polishing but eminently doable Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:20, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
