Brentford Boss Ready for the Challenge
In his pre-match press conference, Keith Andrews said that his team is ready for Sunderland but insists that they will have to do everything right. He said: The team feel good and are in a good place, so we are ready for the challenge of Sunderland.
“What they (Sunderland) did last season was pretty remarkable. The coach organises them very diligently, and they can cause you problems in different ways. We will have to do a lot of things really well to get the result.”
Out: Josh Dasilva (hamstring), Mathias Jensen (minor injury), Sepp van den Berg (groin), Antoni Milambo (ACL).
