Early in a mid-table season for the club, inside forward Len Townsend notably scored six goals in a 9–4 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, the most-ever in any match by a Brentford player.

Brentford returned to the Football League South for the 1942–43 season with cause for optimism, having generated over £20,000 (equivalent to £1,177,400 in 2025) from the semi-finals and the final of the club's victorious 1941–42 London War Cup campaign.

[3] Brentford's league form held up until the turn of the year then fell apart, losing 10 of the final 15 matches of the season in all competitions.

[2] Guest forwards Eddie Perry and Douglas Hunt, who had scored the bulk of the team's goals since the beginning of the 1940–41 season failed to find the net with such regularity, though Albion Rovers' guest Tommy Kiernan notably scored 9 goals in his 10 appearances.

[4] Brentford finished the league season in 9th place and Len Townsend scored 19 goals in 20 appearances.
