B Team Head Coach Flemming Pedersen was evidently delighted with his side's 2-1 win over Dundalk on Wednesday afternoon. The Dane spoke to Bees Player shortly after the final whistle at Jersey Road and was clearly in the mood to celebrate his team's third successive victory.
"I feel fantastic," said Flemming. "Also a little surprised. I said to the boys just after the game I'm lost for words."
"We played a very mature game today, it wasn't under-20 players, it was mature players that we were watching today. We filled out the pitch throughout the whole game, played with fantastic positions in and out of posession, and I could almost compare it to Antonio Conte and the way Chelsea is playing right now."
"I'm very proud, that's why I am missing words after the game. As a team we were passing the exam today and I have no doubt that our players can now go into the First Team. They proved today that they can play men's football."
Herson Alves and Jan Holldack scored for Brentford in the first half and then survived a late comeback from Dundalk to see out the win.
"If you look back to the United game, we lost ourselves in the second half. It looked like it was more important for us to win suddenly, rather than focussing on what to do. When you focus on what to do you often win. We played with too many emotions in that game.
"So at half time, I said today we aren't going to lose ourselves. We stick to our principles, we stay calm, we play the game and do what we are good at. Perhaps they score in the first minute of the second half, but we still stay calm and don't force the ball long all the time.
"They really tried to push on, but we stayed calm and could play through this pressure."
Always seeking ways to learn more about the game and develop his a team, Flemming insisted that there is still work to be done if Brentford B are to continue on this run of form.
"A coach, although I can't find the words now, you can never be satisfied," he said. "I know already that tomorrow, when we go through the game, there are many things where we can improve. That's the mentality that we should give the boys, that we can always do things better."
