Brentford boss Thomas Frank has claimed there is one key area where Nottingham Forest could cause his side problems at the City Ground tomorrow afternoon.
The Bees boss was speaking at his pre-match press conference yesterday ahead of the encounter, with the Dane full of respect for the Reds and their boss.
Frank highlighted the Reds’ front four of Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Taiwo Awoniyi as a real threat to his side, stating that his side needs to be wary of the counter-attack.
The Brentford manager in particular highlighted the abilities of Gibbs-White and Awoniyi.
Thomas Frank on Forest’s dangerous counter-attacks
Speaking at his pre-match press conference yesterday, Frank highlighted the danger that Forest possess on the counter.
“Awoniyi is a very good striker and Gibbs-White is a very good number 10.
“We all know Hudson-Odoi’s talent and Elanga is a very good winger.
“That front four is very good. They will try to control the game but we also know that the four of them are very good on the break.”
Taking advantage of Brentford’s current injury worries
Frank’s side currently only have one win in the league, with Cooper’s side looking to inflict more pain on the Dane and his men this weekend.
Should the front four previously mentioned all start tomorrow afternoon, it may be a difficult afternoon for the Bees at the City Ground.
