Following Nathan Collins’ horrifying performance in the 4-1 loss to the defender’s previous team, Wolves, Brentford manager Thomas Frank informed the Republic of Ireland international that he would never have a worse game.
Brentford lost for the fourth time in a row as the record signing for the Bees had a miserable evening, allowing the Wanderers to score two goals through mishandled passes.
“I told him it will never be worse than this, with a smile on my face,” replied Frank.
He has performed admirably for us this season and has been a very positive player for us. It takes place.
“The sun will rise again tomorrow, even though he will be down tonight. I anticipate that he will enter training with a proud demeanour.”
After allowing Mario Lemina to score with an uncontested header, Brentford deliberately gave Wolves another goal from their own kickoff.
They returned the ball to goalie Mark Flekken, but Collins failed to backpass, allowing Hwang Hee-chan to round the Dutchman and touch into an empty net just ten seconds after the restart.
Yoane Wissa gave Brentford an instant response, but Toti’s clearing header was allowed to drift through by Collins and Mads Roerslev, and Hwang, a South Korean, flicked the ball over Ethan Pinnock and finished past Flekken.
Hwang suffered a back spasm just before halftime, but Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who came in for him, sealed the win for the Wolves with eleven minutes remaining.
Collins was once again made to look bad when Matheus Cunha, who was playing in Bellegarde, intercepted his careless pass across the goal’s face and finished it easily.
Brentford, who are only four points ahead of Luton in 18th place following their sixth loss in seven games, may soon be anxiously watching the relegation struggle.
“This is a good club, a good team, and we have character in abundance, and we’ll go again,” said Frank.
“Remaining composed and having faith in our work and procedures is crucial. We can break out of this small run of bad outcomes by doing what we’ve done in the past.
After Wolves defeated Chelsea at home on Christmas Eve, victory completed a festive double and marked their first London triumph in fifteen attempts.
Gary O’Neil, the manager, expressed his satisfaction. “Although we didn’t have loads of control of the ball, we were able to punish them.”
Throughout the second half, O’Neil’s name was sung by the boisterous travelling support.
“The fans have been incredible for me, and I have the utmost respect for them,” he continued. I know that the announcement of Gary O’Neil as their manager may not have been that exciting, but working with them has been one of my best advantages thus far.
“They’ll definitely keep singing my name if we continue to win 4-1. Over the holiday season, they may enjoy two terrific results that we’ve enjoyed.”
