'Only complaint was we were not out of sight'
Brentford manager Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC Match of the Day on how he felt about today's victory: "Very happy, especially first half. We were in complete control and dominated through the first 45 minutes. The only and relatively big complaint was that we were not out of sight. I thought we could have been three goals up. We had two disallowed, hit the post, we had three or four other big chances and dangerous situations where we need to get more out of them."What I liked is that we were fairly in control of the second half. They had one good chance through Kudos but besides that not too much. Winning 1-0 away, with a good solid defensive performance, very very good."We were playing away against a good side and sometimes the nature of the game means you can't stay on top. Overall a completely fair and good win."On Kevin Schade: "We are seeing more and more good things from him. He is growing into the role. He is playing and importantly training consistently for many months."
