Brentford manager Leroy Rosenior is keen to bring Reading midfielder Simon Cox back to Griffin Park as he attempts to lift his side out of their current slump.

The Bees' FA Cup defeat to Doncaster Rovers on Saturday extended their winless streak to 13 matches and Rosenior admits confidence within the squad is very low.

"Only two or three players look pumped up and prepared to drive things forward," said the former Torquay United manager.

"I can't make any excuses. The players have to go out and show desire and passion, it's time for them to stand up and be counted and sometimes it has to hurt to do that.

"We're keeping an eye on Simon Cox, and we hope he's not too far away from full fitness.

"We'll keep in touch with Simon. He did well for us, and his situation is something we'll look at."

The 19-year-old made five appearances for Brentford during a loan spell at Griffin Park earlier this season, but returned to Reading after breaking his leg in the 1-1 draw with Millwall in September.
