THOMAS FRANK is embracing Brentford’s reputation as the Premier League’s kings of home entertainment. And the Bees boss vowed: “We want to be even MORE attacking at our fortress.”. Gtech Community Stadium fans have seen a whopping 40 GOALS in eight top-flight games so far, ahead of today’s clash with Nottingham Forest.

Spread over a full season, that average of five per game would smash the record of 82 goals set at Chelsea in their Double-winning season of 2009-10. And if it carries on at the same rate, the Gtech tally could end up close to 100 goals — a thought that lit up Frank’s eyes.

The Dane, 51, said: “That would be quite a story, huh?. “Maybe it’s a little bit linked to us being too open, you never know. But I want us to be as offensive as possible. “We did it in the Championship. For the two years I was in charge before promotion we were the top scorers.
“When I talk about having a little bit more control in the games, it’s more about whether we can get to a position where we can look to play a ball in behind, or spread it across, or maybe go on the counters. “But I like to play quite open games. That gives us opportunities, because we have great players that can exploit that space, with way we've been building the squad over the last four years.

Frank points to Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and 19-goal dynamic duo up front Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wisse as summing up a philosophy he has carried since he was a youngster.
