The Bees went to Elland Road to face Marcelo Bielsa’s side but Thomas Frank’s charges were beaten 1-0 by the Whites who scored a late winner.

Thomas Frank, Manager of Brentford looks on during the FA Cup Fifth Round match between Swansea and Brentford at the Liberty Stadium on February 17, 2019 in Swansea, United Kingdom.

Following the 1-0 Championship defeat to Leeds United at Elland Road, a number of Brentford fans made their feelings known about their side’s performance and whether Thomas Frank is the right man to guide the Bees.

Brentford had hoped to get back on track after a mixed start to the season which began with a surprise home loss to Birmingham City, before a win over Middlesbrough, a shock loss to League Two Cambridge United in the Carabao Cup, and a draw with Hull City.

However, a late Eddie Nketiah goal condemned the Bees to a 1-0 defeat at Elland Road, their second loss from their opening four league games and their first away from home, leaving them six points adrift of the Whites, who returned to the top of the table, and second-placed Swansea City.

Here is what was said by some Brentford fans on social media following the game against Marcelo Bielsa’s side:

Up next for Brentford is Saturday’s trip to The Valley to face Charlton Athletic, who have begun the season brightly with eight points from their opening four league matches.
