Brentford - Nottingham Forest

[Tricky]

Brentford midfielder Mathias Jensen believes a goalless draw would have been a fair result at Griffin Park on Tuesday night as he revealed his frustration at Nottingham Forest's time-wasting tactics.

Joe Lolley's "lucky" deflected effort was the difference between the two sides on a night that could prove vital in the race for Championship promotion.

Sabri Lamouchi's side fought hard to secure the narrow victory that has lifted them to third in the standings - just two points behind the automatic promotion places.

"We are, of course, disappointed about their goal. It was lucky, but we should have created more," said Bees man, Jensen, as he spoke to BrentfordFC.com.

"It was a deflection, so we felt very unlucky [at half time].

"They wasted a lot of time from the very first minute, but we should be able to avoid getting irritated by that.

"We had many chances to cross, but we lacked the quality."

The result has seen the Bees fall to fifth in the standings, three points behind the Reds and just a single point ahead of seventh places Preston North End.

But Jensen is adamant that his teammates will not feel sorry for themselves after the defeat and remains confident that his side were deserved on at least a point.

He continued: "I don't know if it was an off day. They didn't outplay us at all. It should have been 0-0.

"There are still 17 games to go. It is a marathon. We are disappointed now but tomorrow we will move on."

Funny how he failed to include all of the fouls Brentford were allowed to get away with, including a blatant penalty on Grabs in the second half and a decent shout for handball in the box in the first half. He also fails to bemoan the fact that our goal came about through shit goalkeeping and shit defending!

At the end of the day, nobody gives a flying f**k about your opinions pal, all they care about is what is now written in the history books and that is this...............Brentford FC 0, Nottingham Forest FC 1
