Sceptics suggested Keith Andrews would struggle as Brentford manager but his team stand seventh in the Premier League, with hopes of climbing even higher. Keith Andrews has won the approval of Brentford fans who were worried about his appointment. All three began the next game – Brentford 1-0 Villa. Minckley saw his first Brentford game in 1964, so it’s no surprise he is at Newcastle, having just been to Villa. I think we really are together as a unit and I think Keith has played a big role in that.
