Brentford boss Thomas Frank issues Nottingham Forest warning after ‘unlucky’ verdict

Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive ahead of the Reds’ Premier League clash against Brentford on Sunday

Thomas Frank hopes his Brentford side will be able to take the positives from their defeat to Arsenal into Sunday’s game against Nottingham Forest.

The Bees have struggled at the start of 2023/24 having won just one league game so far this season. They were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night in a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

But the Brentford boss believes his side played a “top” second-half against the Gunners and has called for his players to continue that approach at the City Ground on Sunday.

“The second half was top. We pushed Arsenal back, created a lot of good chances and were very unlucky not to score. The margins didn’t drop our way.

“I was very pleased with the performance and that’s what we need to continue with going into the game [against Nottingham Forest] on Sunday.”
