Dean Smith gave his reaction to the draw with Brighton and Hove Albion. Brentford edged the game but could not find the breakthrough goal, the visiting goalkeeper David Stockdale pulling off some good saves to deny Brentford all three points.
“It was a tough game,” said Dean. “We knew it would be, played in blustery conditions but I thought we were excellent. Our attitude, application, intensity in how we played and I thought we made a very good team look average today and unfortunate not to get the win.
Brighton defended extremely deep, especially in the first half, which proved difficult for Dean’s side to find space to attack.
“It was difficult to get in behind them,” said Dean. “We had a couple of interceptions where we broke at them, and with the final pass being a little bit better we might have done better but we’ve had some good chances. For all our possession in the first half, clear cut chances were few and far between. But I went in [at half-time] feeling we were the better team.
“I’m really pleased with the performance, that’s all we can control; unfortunately we didn’t get the result.”
