Monk’s habit in tatters...

-

Said Benrahma’s cross. Emiliano Marcondes thundered in his first Brentford goal after Alessio Da Cruz was caught dallying.

It was game over when Marcondes sent Bryan Mbeumo through to slot in a left-foot shot.

Come the second half, the away fans were chanting “Sack the f ****** lot”.

Monk agreed with them as he admitted there needs to be big changes.

And he seemed resigned to the fact he might be one of them.

He added: “There are deep-rooted issues here that are clear for all to see.

“I’ve never been a quitter and I’ve had to fight

“I’ll always do that until somebody says I’m not there.

“I want to have that opportunit­y to move forward and keep fighting.

“I do believe we can get to a brighter day at this club.

“There’s a culture here that will never be successful. There’s not enough desire and determinat­ion.

“Changes will have to come in the summer, whether they are brought in by me or somebody else.”

There was little change for Wednesday following the break as Dasilva grabbed his second, played in by Benrahma.

Sub Tariqe Fosu-Henry completed the rout with his first goal for the club on 82 minutes.

Bees boss Thomas Frank said: “I was so happy when I saw Emiliano’s shot go into the back of the net.

“He was a presence throughout. He owned that pitch in terms of duels and pressing.”
