Bees tie up London derby at the death

Last updated : 09 September 2006 By Smallsy
Brentford went into today's game with Leyton Orient off the back of a teriffic result at home to Bradford last week. The bees however found Leyton Orient a totally different task, once more coming from behind but this week claiming a point rather than three.


Another excellent second half performance by Brentford was capped by an 88th minute goal from Sam Tillen who netted his first for the club in ever such vital circumstances.

The bees seemed slightly shell shocked in the first half as Leyton Orient took the lead and had other chances to extend their lead during the first fourty five minutes. Once more however Brentford recieved a wake up call from their manager and started to play better in the second period, it took the late strike from Tillen to get Brentford something from the game and kept the clubs unbeaten start going.

What the fans said?
Les Marshall a travelling Brentford fan said,

"We didn't start well but I thought we were unlucky to be behind"

"Tillen's goal was the least we deserved and I think we dominated the game today."


Susan Stuart however said,

"To be honest we were poor."

"We picked the wrong game to play poorly as Leyton Orient scrapped for everything. Their persistance will get them places this season"

"I think a point was probably just as we had a few chances but once again couldn't convert."
