Butcher: We looked scared

Brentford boss Terry Butcher admitted his side looked scared as they crashed to another home defeat - 1-0 to Morecambe on Tuesday.
For the second home game in a row Butcher and his players were booed from the pitch at the final whistle and, after making a bright start to the season, the Bees are now 18th in the League Two table.
"Fair play to Morecambe - they had a very good system and it took us a while to get used to it," admitted the former England international.
"We looked a scared team, a team afraid to take the ball and pass it. We were possibly afraid of the circumstances and the atmosphere, but the players have got to stand up and take it.
"If we'd scored in the first half then the confidence and belief would have flooded back. But we didn't and we always seem to be chasing the game."
