Keane Lewis-Potter has discussed his recent switch to left-back, revealing how the move to defence came about and Thomas Frank's message to him in The Long Read, which features in Saturday's programme, available in and around Gtech Community Stadium before the Newcastle United match.

The Brentford man also touched on his regular game time, with him featuring in every Premier League game this term - something he has had to wait patiently for since joining the club in 2022.

“Thomas Frank called me into his office to speak with him… I thought I was in trouble!” Lewis-Potter recalls. “But he sat me down and just said, ‘I’ve got an idea’.

“He explained that he wanted me to play left-back and detailed what he thought I could do to help the team in that position. At the end, he just asked me, ‘Would you be okay with that?’ I could have turned around and told him I didn’t want to do it!

“But as soon as he explained the plan he had for me, I just said: ‘I’ll do whatever you want me to for this team’.

“It is quite a big change to where I usually play - there’s a lot of stuff that has been thrown my way over the last few weeks, things I’ve had to learn to help play in that position. But I have to give big credit to the coaches who have really helped me.

“But one of the biggest things that helps me play at left-back is that I’m coming up against wingers, which is obviously the position I usually play. I try and put myself in their shoes and think, ‘What would I do next?’, which helps me work out what they might do."
