Brentford captain Pontus Jansson wary of second season blues

Brentford captain Pontus Jansson is aware of second season blues.

But the Swede is confident they can build on last season's successful debut Premier League campaign.

"Of course, I've heard about it," Jansson told the London Evening Standard.

“But I read an interesting article about it, someone writing about the last six, seven, eight years in the Premier League and it wasn't as relevant as people talk about — it's not as true as people think.

“There have been teams that have struggled more in the second season than the first, of course, but it's not a common thing.

“We came into the season with a maximum of like 10 Premier League games between us," he points out. “Now we have hundreds. That makes a difference. We're more confident as a group. We know what to expect and what to expect from each other."
