Smith defiant after ‘surreal’ Brentford defeat
Brentford boss Dean Smith felt his side deserved at least a point after a “surreal” defeat against Nottingham Forest.
The Bees were beaten 4-3 in an extraordinary game at Griffin Park, where Andreas Bouchalakis scored with two brilliant strikes for the visitors. [phone]

It left Smith’s team with two defeats from their opening two Championship matches.
“It’s not the start to the campaign I wanted in terms of results and points,” he admitted.
“We wanted to hit the ground running results-wise and we haven’t got there, but if we play like that we’ll certainly win more games than we lose.
“They scored a wonder goal into the top corner and the last five minutes of the first half and the first few minutes of the second half changed the game.
“It’s seems a bit surreal. They scored two wonder goals and then a deflected goal.
“In the first 40 minutes I was really pleased with the players. I was really pleased with what I saw in the first half.”
