Schade ‘has taken his game to a new level’ – Andrews

Keith Andrews believes Brentford attacker Kevin Schade has “taken his game to a new level” this season.

Schade scored both the Bees’ goals in a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth, taking the German’s tally for the campaign so far to three in four Premier League matches.

Boss Andrews declared: “He’s come back for pre-season and had a really nice focus about him.

“He’s looked very confident in every aspect of the game and he’s such an important player for us..

“Now he’s taken his game to a new level in terms of the goals he’s scoring and the way he’s looking in the final third, which is what forwards get judged on.”

Schade put the visitors ahead and then equalised after Bournemouth had turned the game around with goals from Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier.

Brentford remain unbeaten this season but have now drawn three games in a row.

“Overall it’s a point gained,” said Andrews.

“But I thought we could have done better. We didn’t hit the levels that we’ve set for ourselves.”
