Thomas Frank reflected on Brentford’s performance against Nottingham Forest.
Thomas Frank said, “We played a game where, in big spells, we dominated and were on top. We lacked the cutting edge to take chance, after chance, after chance – but I thought it was enough to score at least one goal. Nottingham Forest defended well in big spells – they also played 5-4-1, which is the first time they’ve done that this season, even after going to Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal, where they played a four-man defence. That’s a big credit to what we’ve done.”
The context of the second quote was Thomas Frank discussing the significance of their performance and result against Nottingham Forest.
Thomas Frank said, “It’s a result business, and it’s definitely more fun to win. Our performance was good, and I think we were on top against the team that are third in the table. We lacked a cutting edge offensively, but created dangerous situations. What we gave away in this game was very little, and in that sense we were very good, but Nottingham defended very well.”
