Brentford boss Andy Scott refused to blame the state of the Griffin Park pitch for Saturday’s scrappy 1-1 draw with Wycombe Wanderers.

Winger Myles Weston’s tenth goal of the season - laid on by man of the match Charlie MacDonald - rescued a point for the lacklustre Bees as they extended their unbeaten home league record to 11 matches.

The playing surface has deteriorated significantly since January’s cold snap, but seemed to have little impact in last week’s 4-0 mauling of Gillingham.

And Scott was in no mood to make excuses for his misfiring men.

“The pitch was absolutely awful and we didn’t make the right decisions like we did against Gillingham. Whether that was a little bit of complacency or over-confidence, I don’t know,” he said.

“It was the exact same conditions as last week, but nobody was complaining about it then. I’m not complaining now, but we’ve got to play to the conditions.

“The only solution is to rip the pitch up and start again, but we can’t do that, so we have to get on with it and accept they are the conditions.

“It is the same for both sides. They like to play football, but they recognised the conditions were poor and hit long balls and turned us round. We didn’t deal with it very well and looked a little lacklustre.”

Brentford crashed 1-0 at Adams Park earlier in the season sparking a run of form that has seen the Bees lose just three times in their last 13 games in all competitions.

And the manager admitted the Chairboys are fast becoming a bogey team for him.

“We never seem to play too well against Wycombe, I’ve got a pretty poor record against them, so any point is probably a point gained. ” he added.

“It is not the worst result. We’ve moved up the league, we are closer to where we want to be and sitting tenth in the league.

“It’s a tough league and teams don’t lie down. We need to work hard for every point and we did.”
