Manager Andy Scott believes Brentford are "not strong enough" to achieve promotion this season but admits he always had the future in mind.Scott is resigned to missing out on a play-off berth after the weekend defeat at Morecambe and is already looking forward to improving his side in the summer.

He told the club's official website: "We're not going to reach the play-offs. Deep down I think we knew that, but we were trying to win every game and if we got there, then we got there.

"It's telling me a lot about my squad. I'm liking some of the things we're doing, but there are other things we need to improve. The players that I get in during the summer need to improve things.

"It's always been a case of building for next season, since the moment I got the manager's job.

"I knew the squad wasn't strong enough but we should be winning games and while we're doing a lot of good things some of the things we're doing are very poor."
