Nottingham forest vs Brentford: “Our players will provide goals” says Frank
Thomas Frank was adamant that his side ‘Will provide goals’ when speaking ahead of his side’s Premier League clash away to Nottingham forest.
Frank’s side came up short mid-week losing to Arsenal 1-0 in the EFL cup.
Despite dominating the majority of the game and creating most of the games chances Frank’s side couldn’t make the breakthrough. Arsenal were the ones to provide a moment of quality which was enough to send them through to the round of 16 stage of the competition .
Star striker Ivan Toney, who scored 20 goals last season for the Bees, is still banned for breaching FA regulations regarding betting/gambling.This had led many people questioning the detrimental impact this may have on Brentford in front of goal.
