00:12That's a perfect metaphor for Brentford right now and a new head coach, Keith Andrews.
00:16The Bees are rebuilding, keeping the best of what Thomas Frank created while adding their own sparkle.
00:23Brentford's start to the new Premier League season has been a showcase of resilience and tactical smarts.
00:32On October 20th, they travelled to West Ham and delivered a statement 2-0 win, their first away victory of the campaign.
00:39Nigel, Thiago and Matthias Jensen scored, with Brentford firing off 22 shots, the most they've ever managed on the road in the Premier League.
00:48Just five days later, the Bees then added a thrilling 3-2 home victory over Champions Liverpool.
00:54Dango Otago opened the scoring, Kevin Shard added a second and Thiago converted a late penalty.
01:01Andrews, who took over from Frank in June, has kept the direct attacking style that made Brentford a Premier League mainstay.
01:07The team still thrives on set-pieces, long throws, clever corners and their flexibility allows them to change shape mid-game.
01:14Physicality and tactical discipline are all a trademark.
01:20Jordan Henderson brings leadership and experience, while young midfielder Yaro Yarmelukas flourished under Andrews' guidance.
01:29Even setbacks have been lessons.
01:31Back in August, Brentford went 1-0 up at Sunderland, only to lose in stoppage time.
01:36But that harsh experience seems to have strengthened the team.
01:39Against West Ham, they dominated with clever triangles, dangerous crosses from Michael Coyote and crashing headers from Shard, one-hitting the crossbar.
01:51With a solid spine, intelligent tactics and a fearless approach, Brentford are showing they can compete with the Premier League's best.
02:00Andrews is brending Frank's foundation with his own ideas and the results are speaking for themselves.
02:06This is a team with bite brains and a belief that the squad is turning their cracks into gold.
