Despite Sam Tillen's late goal which earned Brentford a point against Leyton Orient, Leroy Rosenior was keen to not 'paper over any cracks' the late strike may have hidden in the clubs performance.


Concerned by his sides lack of ability to 'get going' he believed that Brentford were rather fortunate to take a point away from Brisbane Road,

"Their two front men held teh ball up well where as we didn't at all. That put us under pressure and they got in soem good positions around the edge of the box, ultimately this culminated in their goal, which as a good one to be fair. You've got to give them credit."

"We never got going and too many players wereb't at the races. In saying that, the lads worked extremely hard and we are a fit bunch." We showed some good resilliance to come back and we knew we'd get a chance it was just whether of not we'd take it."


Once again haling his players he said,

"We are a good group with a good spirit."

Brentford's manager also paid tribute to the travelling army of fans who packed out the away end of the ground,

"The supporters were immense tosay and they came out in their numbers. Really kept the lads going. When your team doesn't play well you want the supporters to get behind you and not on your backs. They never do that and I thought they were incredible today"
