Brentford FC

November 2022 saw Neil MacFarlane's side bound for Lombardy and the wonderfully scenic city of Como. Their opponents, Como 1907 who ply their trade in the second tier of Italian football. It was an opportunity for the hosts to give first team players ...

It was a brilliant learning experience for the B Team, who got on the scoresheet through Aaron Pressley as he marked his return from a long-term injury with a goal, and it was a game where, in fairness, the young Bees displayed many positives and creating some brilliant goal scoring opportunities. They lost both Tristan Crama and Nico Jones to illness in the build-up to the game, the two of which have been stalwarts in the B Team back line thus far this season therefore some adjustments were needed to the group. The Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia was the venue, and though no spectators were allowed, the impressive stadia added to a talented Como side provided a stern test as the wind whipped across the shores of the famous lake into the venue.
