Beesotted contributors The Gowler and Paul Kowalczyk (@BeesBreakdown) give us the tactical and statistical lowdown of Brentford?s defeat against Wolves.
Thomas Frank switched to a 4-3-3, and made a few changes from the starting XI against Aston Villa. After a red card to Ben Mee, Nathan Collins returned to the starting lineup to face his former club, paired next to Ethan Pinnock. Ghoddos and Roerslev were the fullbacks, with Ajer and Hickey still recovering from injury. The midfield trio consisted of Yarmolyuk, Nørgaard, and Janelt as Jensen returned to the bench after an adductor strain. Wissa, Maupay, and Keane Lewis-Potter led the line for the Bees.
Gary O?Neil chose a 3-4-2-1, with Gomes, Santiago Bueno, and Kilman the back 3. Nouri and Semedo the wide players, while Lemina and Gomes were the central midfielders. Hwang, Sarabia, and Cunha comprised the front three for Wolves. Doherty offered experience off the bench, while youngsters, Doyle and Hugo Bueno looked to provide a spark. 8th Minute
