"Andrews stated, 'The nature of it is we are a very young side in the main - managing games and times. We weren't under severe pressure. I'm proud of what the players did today and we should have won the game.'"
"'In the first half we played well without being brilliant. Dams wasn't well. It was a risk playing him - he had disrupted sleep - and that affected our energy. We were slow and laboured. In the second half, I really liked the look of us.'"
Brentford's recent 2-2 draw with Everton hindered their pursuit of Champions League qualification. Igor Thiago scored twice, but late goals from Beto and Dewsbury-Hall equalized. Brentford had a higher expected goals total of 2.84 from 17 shots. Manager Keith Andrews emphasized the need for his young team to learn from the match, noting their performance was affected by player fatigue. A win against Fulham could elevate Brentford to sixth place, depending on Chelsea's match against Manchester United.
