"Brave" is how Keith Andrews described Brentford's performance in Saturday's defeat at Manchester City and he was certainly right.
What he did not mention was how "brave" he was in team selection, with a formation and player switch he had not used before.
Full-back Aaron Hickey made his first start since February after injury but not in the backline. Instead, the Scotland international played in an unfamiliar defensive midfield role as the Bees fielded a new 4-4-2 line-up.
And for large parts of the game it worked.
City almost inevitably dominated early on but Brentford defended brilliantly, in no small part due to our formation - leading to City being booed off after a goalless first half.
Having weathered the storm, we were more adventurous in the second half, but in the end conceded an opener to the brilliant Jeremy Doku. I have rarely seen such a good individual performance against us as his.
