It’s never been in Thomas Frank’s nature to lose his cool. Even after Brentford’s latest setback in midweek – a 4-1 drubbing at home against Wolves that made it six defeats from their past seven matches – the manager who cut his teeth as a coach working with Denmark’s youth teams remained positively upbeat.
“I told him, with a smile on my face, it will never be a bad as that, it is not possible,” Frank said of a conversation he had after the game with the defender Nathan Collins, whose mistakes gave Wolves two goals. “But the big thing in this football world is to stay calm and believe in process that is what we do and have come out of it again like we have before during bad spells.”
