Brentford midfielder Vitaly Janelt stressed the need for togetherness after the Bees’ 4-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Goals from Mario Lemina, Hwang Hee-chan (2) and Jeanricner Bellegarde consigned Thomas Frank’s side to a sixth defeat in seven Premier League matches, but Janelt insisted that the team will return to form – and that the Bees fans have a big part to play over the coming weeks.

“[Thomas Frank] made a very good speech to us in the changing room,” said Janelt.

“These things are part of a football career - we didn’t take our chances - and we have to stick together.

“In the second half we had two or three good opportunities to score. If we’d scored the second goal, things could have turned around, especially with our fans.”

Janelt added: “It’s easy to complain because we’re not getting the results, but it’s up to us to stick together as a team, with the fans behind us.

“Now we play against Crystal Palace in three days and it’s a big opportunity for us to turn things around.”
