BENNETT QUESTIONS SHREWS' GOAL

Posted on: Sun 26 Oct 2008

Brentford central defender Alan Bennett felt he was fouled when Shrewsbury Town struck their equaliser in Saturday's draw at Griffin Park.

Chris Humphrey levelled for the visitors with ten minutes remaining after a Grant Holt lay off but Reading loanee Bennett admitted he wasn't sure the goal should have stood.

"He [Holt] was on top of me," said Bennett. "I was trying to hold him off.

"He then came in on top of Sam Wood.

"I didn't see him play the ball at all but he has played both of us.

"If the referee thinks that's legal - I don't."

Bennett admitted there was a sense of disappointment that Brentford hadn't taken all three points, particularly having taken the lead through Charlie MacDonald.

"Going up 1-0 we should be keeping a clean sheet," said Bennett. "It was quite a battle, they are a good team and it will be both of us up there at the end of the season.

"They were happy to sit in, break up the game - that's a challenge you have to face.

"There are things we have to overcome, hopefully we will.

"We have got to keep on, if we can get three points on Tuesday [at Chester] it will be four out of six.

"It is another game unbeaten and it keeps us going."

Bennett's central defensive colleague James Wilson was named man of the match by the sponsors and he echoed the Irishman's thoughts about conceding an equaliser and the manner it came.

"It looked like a foul," said Wilson. "I thought we were going to go on and win, we had the better of the second half - I thought we were unlucky."

Wilson said he enjoyed the competitive nature of the game and also spoke of his future.

"I have loved it here," said Wilson. "It's been brilliant.

"I have Tuesday and Saturday [at home to Rochdale] and we want to win both of them - then hopefully I can come back in January.

"I will be looking to come back if Brentford will have me.

"I don't know if anything has been discussed but I will be happy to come back."
