Will away win prompt more ambition?

Story by[]John Bennet - Final Score reporterMon, December 22, 2025 at 8:37 AM UTC·2 min readThe media seats at Molineux give you a perfect view of the technical areas and a fascinating insight into the emotions being experienced by the coaching teams, so when Keane Lewis-Potter opened the scoring on Saturday you could feel what a relief it was for Brentford boss Keith Andrews and his staff. Three defeats in the last five Premier League games before the trip to Wolves, and in particular four away defeats in a row, meant that Brentford were beginning to be talked about by pundits as a team that could get dragged into a relegation battle.

But when Lewis-Potter broke the deadlock with a Frank Lampard like run into the box for the first goal and then made it 2-0 with a superb sliding finish, Brentford's players and fans were finally rewarded. There's now a 10 point gap between the Bees and the relegation zone, so no wonder Andrews had a beaming smile as he walked over to do his media interviews. He's been criticised recently by some Brentford fans for being too negative but told reporters that "we want to be more attacking but we have to get the balance right and today we did that".

They now go into games with Bournemouth, Tottenham and Everton over the festive period with less pressure and maybe an opportunity to be more ambitious going forward.
