Review:
A terrible performance. A very scrappy game, with 12 yellow cards (7 for Forest) and no focus from Forest. It took Matty Cash to liven things up again, but his goal was a deflection and not really deserved. Brentford's winner was a result of bad defending and we could have lost by a lot more.
Brentford Goals:
Lewis MacLeod (45) - Header in the box
Ollie Watkins (84) - Simple shot in the box from a cross
Lewis MacLeod (45) - Header in the box
