Brentford's away form 'still a bit of a head-scratcher'

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton says the difference in Brentford's home and away form this season has been "staggering", after the Bees recorded yet another home win over Newcastle United.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, Sutton said: "Brentford would have been top of the Premier League with their home form, but they would have been 19th with their away form.
"The way they have evolved through the Premier League era has been fascinating, particularly in the past few seasons. They have just evolved tremendously.
"But that discrepancy between their home and away form is still a little bit of a head-scratcher."
Former England international Andros Townsend added: "When I was at Luton last season, Brentford were the team we were looking at. When they came up, they were probably similar to Luton, where everyone looks at you and thinks: 'Straight back down.'
"But then they surprised everyone and they have just built and evolved, year on year, to a point where now you don't even talk about Brentford in terms of getting relegated."
