When the talisman Ivan Toney returns for the Bees’ upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, head coach of Brentford expressed his excitement over his arrival.
Speaking following his team’s 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace, which was the last league game before Toney’s suspension ended, Frank said he was looking forward to having the center forward return the following month.
“I would always look forward to Ivan coming back,” the manager of the Bees said, “even if we had everyone available and we had won five in a row, or if we had a few players out and lost a few games.”
“He is a good player, a leader, and a character that is needed.”
Frank believes that the Eagles’ “quality and decisiveness in the crucial moments”—exhibited by Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze—were the primary reasons behind the Bees’ defeat in south London.
“I have no complaints about the players’ effort or mentality,” he continued. “These are the two essential components that any team must possess in order to compete in any league, but especially in the Premier League.” I’m quite happy about that.
