Half-time: Bolton 0 Brentford 0

By

Alan Judge missed the best chance of the first half as Brentford looked the better side in Neil Lennon’s first home game as Bolton manager.

Bees midfielder Judge dragged a shot wide of the target after Moses Odubajo had beaten his man and crossed from the right.

Alex Pritchard has been lively for Brentford but also missed a good chance to put them ahead.

A nice move on 20 minutes culminated in Jota finding the on-loan Tottenham midfielder, who fired straight at Bolton keeper Andy Lonergan from 10 yards out.

Jota had an effort saved in the opening couple of minutes, while David Button saved from Bolton’s Darren Pratley, who also sent a shot wide.

And in the final seconds of the half, Judge had a shot tipped away by Lonergan and Jake Bidwell headed over from the resulting corner.

Harlee Dean kept his place alongside Tony Craig at centre-back for Brentford – who have drawn their last two matches 0-0 – despite James Tarkowski being available again after suspension.

Tarkowski is on the Bees bench along with fit-again duo Tommy Smith and Nico Yennaris.

Brentford: Button, McCormack, Dean, Craig, Bidwell, Douglas, Odubajo, Pritchard, Judge, Jota, Gray.
Subs: Bonham, Toral, Diagouraga,Tarkowski, Smith, Yennaris, Proschwitz.
