Thomas Frank loves stats.
So I pitched him a few to highlight the 44 points Brentford have dropped from winning positions since August 2023.
One stood out to him and is now something he is keen to address.

FULL-TIME: Brentford U21s 0-2 Wolves U21s
A bitterly disappointing evening for the Young Bees as a disjointed performance saw them comfortably beaten by Wolves with well-taken strikes by Edozie and Ballard-Matthews.

There is an additional 7 minutes added on here at Wheatsheaf Park.
Brentford have tried to pull a goal back since going 2-0 down but have struggled in possession and been unable to test Wolves' 'keeper.

Brentford were improving before Wolves doubled their lead but the goal was another example of a lack of cohesion that has seen the Young Bees struggle to connect this evening.

Brentford test Wolves' 'keeper for the first time this evening in the 54th minute as Bobb-Semple picks out Picotto's run in behind and the left-back forces a good low save.

HALF-TIME: Brentford U21s 0-1 Wolves U21s.
Brentford are yet to spark into life as the visitors take the lead into the break after a goal of high quality from Edozie.
The Young Bees have been second-best all over the pitch and require vast improvement.

Wolves come close to doubling their lead in the 39th-minute from a corner but Stokes does well to get low to save a close-range header.
Brentford have been second-best here.

Goal. Tom Edozie.
In a game with little spark, it is an outstanding finish to put Wolves ahead.
Edozie controls the ball with his chest on the edge of the area before firing a volley into the far corner, leaving Stokes flat-footed.
0-1.

Amid all the fireworks off the pitch, there unfortunately hasn't been as such on it as there has been little to note as we approach the half-hour mark.

It has been a fast start at Wheatsheaf Park as both sides move the ball with intent.
Wolves have started the stronger of the two and tested Stokes low to his right within 2 minutes and fired a shot over the bar from close range.

Jai Nwosu (16) will be one to keep an eye on should he come on as a substitute this evening.
The centre-forward has 8 goals and 5 assists in 13 appearances for Brentford U18s and U21s this season, including hat-tricks against West Ham U18s and Arsenal U18s.
Brentford make 5 changes to the line-up that beat Wycombe in the U21 PL Cup on Monday as Stokes, Avenell, Gorman, Hanson, and Bobb-Semple come in.
Nwosu and Oladapo-Gamu are named on the bench after starting for the U18s on Tuesday.
No first-team involvement this evening.
