As the inquest in the Brentford squad still rumbles on after the weekends awful result Martin Allen revealed today how he cancelled the players only day off to ensure success in the FA Cup this weekend.


"There will be no slip ups this weekend. I don't want a repeat of Saturday so I called all the players in today to make sure we are all focused and all aiming to achieve the same thing, victory"

Brentford face Rochdale at Spotland this weekend however after the 2-0 defeat to Bournmouth and a third game in a row without hitting the back of the net, however Allen stayed positive and blamed himself,

"I carry the can for this team. I pick it and I'm prepared to take the criticism which comes from my decision."

"Realistically though we've only lost one game in the last 7 so it's hardly a crisis"
