    HT: Brentford 1-0 Sheff Wed

    Former Charlton player on BBC London 94.9

    Brentford were brilliant in spells and shaded the half, although Wednesday finished the stronger side.

    The hosts put so much energy into the first 25 minutes and faded towards the end of the half.

    Because of the way Brentford play, they leave themselves open. I'm sure Bees boss Dean Smith will be stressing patience.

    It has been a positive advertisement for Championship football.
