First-half goals from Neal Maupay and Ollie Watkins saw Brentford to a comfortable victory over the Blues at Griffin Park. Maupay slammed home the opener in the 20th minute, moments after Collin Quaner had hit the post for the Blues when through on goal, then Watkins netted the second eight minutes later after the Bees made the most of a Flynn Downes error.
Town boss Paul Lambert admitted his side never deserved to take anything from their 2-0 defeat at Brentford believing the first half was the worst 45 minutes since he took charge.
Blues boss Mick McCarthy says Town player contracts are not something for him to deal with now that it has been confirmed he will be leaving the club in the summer.
Blues boss Kieran McKenna says he’s spoken to former Town midfielder Tristan Nydam, who announced his retirement due to injury this week, and can empathise with the 22-year-old having been forced to hang up his boots at the same age.
