I thought we could have been three goals up. We had two disallowed, hit the post, we had three or four other big chances and dangerous situations where we needed to get more out of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I liked is that we were fairly in control of the second half. They had one good chance, but besides that, not too much. Winning 1-0 away, with a good solid defensive performance, [is] very, very good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a very honest team that work hard. We were playing away against a good side and, sometimes, the nature of the game means you can\u2019t stay on top. Overall, a completely fair and good win.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A performance that had everything <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CTOTSjlNOo\">pic.twitter.com\/CTOTSjlNOo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brentford FC (@BrentfordFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrentfordFC\/status\/1890809718039327199?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Frank also praised match winner Schade, who has scored in each of Brentford\u2019s three successive away victories, while Wissa echoed his manager\u2019s sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are seeing more and more good things from him,\u201d Frank said. \u201cHe is growing into the role. He is playing and, importantly, training consistently for many months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are definitely happy with him,\u201d Wissa added. \u201cHe has good pace, he loves to score, but the first year is always hard. Now, he knows how to play. He is on fire now, so we need to aim high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it was a third defeat in four games for West Ham, who have now failed to win any of the 14 Premier League matches this season in which they have conceded the opening goal.<\/p>\n<p>Graham Potter was made to rue his side\u2019s first-half performance, though he was pleased by the way they responded after the break.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first half was not the performance we want at all,\u201d he said. \u201cThe goal affects the performance too much. We need to learn a lot from that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was really pleased with the response of the players in the second half when we really pushed. We were a lot more like how we want to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought the three subs [Evan Ferguson, James Ward-Prowse and Ollie Scarles] had a positive impact and changed the dynamic of the team. You can see what he [Ferguson] will bring to the team. There are positives there from the second half.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soccernews.com\/i-have-a-very-honest-team-that-work-hard-frank-hails-brentford-after-west-ham-win\/381946\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a>SoccerNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soccer Thomas Frank saluted his \u201cvery honest\u201d Brentford side after their hard-earned 1-0 win over West Ham.
