Wilder later said: I don't think there was a lot in the game. The second goal goes in and Thomas (Frank, Brentford manager) will complains about the block or no block on their second a little bit earlier. I don't think there was anything tactically in the game, our shape was good out of possession.
We had a blow of losing our skipper which is deeply disappointing but I thought the three centre halves handled their top three really well. Yasser (Larouci) has not played a lot of football as well. We felt if we could deal with Wissa off the right and Mbuemo off the left and some set pieces we'd give ourselves an opportunity and we did.
I think everyone who knows me and my thoughts on Brentford and Thomas knows I'm full of respect but we felt we could make it a nervous afternoon for them and the reaction of Thomas and the players and the supporters at the end was one of relief at getting that result which gives them a huge boost in terms of playing Premier League football next year."
