In a press conference before the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest, Brentford FC’s manager, Thomas Frank, assured the media that his players are capable of delivering goals.
This statement came after Brentford’s recent 1-0 loss to Arsenal, which saw them eliminated from the EFL Cup despite their dominance throughout the match.
Frank acknowledged the absence of star striker Ivan Toney, who is serving a ban for violating FA betting regulations, and the concerns about Brentford’s goal-scoring potential without him.
Despite a recent three-game losing streak, including a surprising 3-1 defeat to Everton, Frank remained optimistic, stating that as long as they continue creating scoring opportunities, they will overcome their challenges.
When discussing the impact of Ivan Toney’s absence, Frank emphasized Toney’s world-class goal-scoring ability but also expressed confidence in the team’s other players, stating that they trust these players to step up.
Brentford is set to face Nottingham Forest with just one point separating the two teams. Frank acknowledged the painful memory of last season’s fixture against Nottingham Forest, where Brentford conceded a 96th-minute equalizer, resulting in a 2-2 draw.
He emphasized the difficulty of the upcoming match, acknowledging Nottingham Forest’s strength as an opponent.
Frank also shared a lighthearted moment, mentioning that two members of the Brentford squad had the opportunity to watch a training session of the Atlanta Falcons, but he couldn’t join them due to his press conference obligations.
On the topic of the Ryder Cup and whether he would be watching it, Frank displayed less enthusiasm, explaining that he’s not a golf enthusiast and has tried golf before but isn’t particularly skilled at it.”
