So now the season’s end really is nigh. With only two games left, my automatic excuse for avoiding Saturday afternoon arrangements made by The Girlfriend will soon be gone.

The game against Yeovil Town on Saturday was a fairly dull affair, as a depleted Bees side dominated without creating enough clear-cut chances to force a win.

The highlight was Sam Saunders’ spectacular curling free-kick that drew us level, followed by his schizophrenic celebration in which he pulled off the trick of appearing delighted and furious at the same time.

It wasn’t quite from the Temuri Ketsbaia ‘rip your shirt-off and give the advertising hoardings a good kicking’ school of celebrations, but Saunders was clearly letting off a season’s worth of steam.

I think it is fair to say that Sam’s first year at Griffin Park hasn’t quite panned out as we all hoped.

After a fantastic performance against Norwich City early in the season, he has since failed to cement his place in the team.

Hopefully, the goal against Yeovil – his first for the Bees – will give his confidence a boost and, next season, he can have a decent stab at establishing himself at Griffin Park.

One player who almost certainly won’t be back is loanee Lionel Ainsworth. If Saunders wants to have a proper tantrum in the future, he needs some tips from the winger, who threw every last one of his toys out of the pram in response to being subbed by Andy Scott in the second half of Saturday’s match.

Like my 30-year-old brother after I have just beaten him at Pro Evolution Soccer, Ainsworth stormed off to hide in the toilet and, although he has since apologised for his actions, I would be surprised if Scott reneges on his vow to never pick him again.

Ainsworth is the latest in a long line of players who, in the past few years, have failed to make the wide right spot their own. It would be unfair to label him the worst right winger since Nick Griffin, but Lionel ‘blah’, like Marvin Williams and Ricky-Ricky Shakes before him, might be quick but his end product is hopeless.

Earlier in the season, despite some glimpses of real class, Spurs youngster John Bostock proved he wasn’t quite ready for the rough and tumble of League One, and Lewis Grabban looked good until Millwall reclaimed him.

What I would really love is for us to sign a right-footed version of Myles Weston this summer, or is that just too much to wish for?
