Brentford have adapted well to life after long-term manager Thomas Frank and captain Christian Norgaard, who joined Arsenal, in the summer. New boss Keith Andrews has ensured the Gtech Community Stadium is a fortress with only the Premier League's top three - Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa - picking up more points on their own patch this season. But Brentford were well below their usual standards on Sunday when strugglers Nottingham Forest came to town. Brentford dominated possession and territory for large periods but lacked the creative edge in the final third to really threaten. The Bees failed to register a single shot on target in the second half and were then hit on the counter when Taiwo Awoniyi wrapped up a 2-0 win for the visitors.
