Brentford made it eight matches unbeaten in the Premier League as they played out a goalless draw with Leeds United at Elland Road.
On the balance of play, a draw was a fair result with neither side able to put the other under a sustained period of pressure.
David Raya was kept busy at times in the second period but made some relatively routine saves, while Ivan Toney threatened in stoppage-time with a header but was unable to keep his attempt on target.
Henry and Roerslev replace Janelt and Wissa as Frank reverts to 5-3-2

Jesse Marsch made one change from Leeds' last Premier League outing against Aston Villa: central defender Maximilian Wober came into the team in place of the injured Liam Cooper.

Neither keeper troubled during a first half of few chances
Brentford started on the front foot and attempted to catch Leeds out inside the first minute.
From kick-off, the ball was played back to Raya in goal and his long kick over the top found Toney deep inside Leeds territory. The forward opted to strike first time but his effort lacked the accuracy to trouble Illan Meslier between the posts.
Neither side were able to stamp their authority in the early stages with possession frequently traded.
Leeds’ first chance of note came on 14 minutes following a Christian Norgaard foul, which afforded Wober with the opportunity to strike a free-kick from 20 yards, but his left-footed attempt flew over the crossbar.
On 23 minutes the Bees then created a good opportunity themselves. Roerslev’s cross to the far post was headed away by Robin Koch into the path of Mathias Jensen, who shot first time and forced a brave block, again from Koch, who managed to deflect the attempt over with his head.
Brentford then had a great chance on the counter attack on 36 minutes. Roerslev floated a brilliant ball into the path of Toney and the striker showed brilliant awareness to flick first time into the path of the on-rushing Henry. The full-back opted not to shoot from a tight angle, instead rolling the ball back to Toney, but Koch was in the right place at the right time to make an important interception.
The last real action of the first period came shortly after when Rodrigo managed to work some space on the edge of the Brentford area. He attempted to curl into the bottom-left corner but Raya was equal to it.
Gnonto denied by Raya as Brentford stand firm
It was Leeds who started the brighter of the two teams after the break, with a good chance falling for them six minutes after the restart.
After the ball was given away in midfield, Luke Ayling pounced and found Rodrigo, but despite being in a dangerous position in the box, he was crowded out and Ethan Pinnock made an impressive block.
Two more chances in quick succession fell Leeds’ way shortly after.
Brenden Aaronson tried to bend the ball into the far corner but saw his shot saved comfortably by Raya. Rodrigo then also shot from distance and Raya was able to push the ball away. Henry then did wonderfully to prevent Wilfried Gnonto from firing in the rebound.
The Brentford keeper then excellently palmed Gnonto’s shot around the post on 68 minutes following a quick counter attack led by Rodrigo.
On 84 minutes a big chance fell for Roerslev following some good work by Henry. The left wing-back drove down the flank before pulling the ball back for Norgaard. The Dane then chipped a brilliant ball towards the far post, but Roerslev’s first-time shot lacked conviction and Meslier saved.
In the 90th minute Brentford broke with Wissa but the forward’s corridor to find Toney was narrowed and he checked back.
It could have been three points for Brentford just moments before the end. Henry was once again at the heart of the action. He managed to work himself some space before crossing onto the head of Toney but his header was off target and the sides shared the points in Yorkshire.
Frank: We’re adding layers
Thomas Frank underlined the importance of Brentford's defensive principles following the team's third clean sheet in four Premier League matches.
Henry satisfied with point
While Rico Henry was pleased with the 0-0 draw at Elland Road, the full-back said that there is still room for improvement.
