Thomas Frank praised a “proper” effort by his squad and claimed that any supporters who jeered Brentford during halftime of their 2-2 draw with Chelsea were not cheering for the club.
The Bees gained a crucial point in their fight against Premier League relegation with an entertaining draw.
But after a first half in which Brentford struggled to get the ball, there were a few jeers at halftime as they fell down 1-0.
When informed of the jeers, Frank retorted, “I also had that thought. I want to talk to the people who booed directly because is that support?
“We’re talking about Brentford against Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world. We’re down 1-0. I know I can’t swear but what the…?
“But I don’t think there’s any fans who don’t want the best for the team. Football is a lot about emotions.”
Assessing a Brentford display which improved dramatically after the break, Frank said: “I would have loved three points and I think overall we played for three points. It was a relatively even game in terms of chances.
“But very pleased with the response from the players. I asked for a bounce back, especially after a bad performance against West Ham. That was not us. That was very rare.
“Today was impressive. I’m a very proud head coach because I think the players have been fantastic this week. I can create a culture but the last and most difficult ten per cent is from them.
“This is a very unique group of players. This was a proper Brentford performance.”
