Scott defends Griffin Park pitch

The Bees stifled and harried the league leaders from the outset in Saturday's League One stalemate, restricting prolific strike duo Jermaine Beckford and Luciano Becchio to just a handful of clear-cut chances.Beckford forced a superb full-length save from Brentford keeper Wojciech Szczesny in the third minute, his cross shot tipped to safety off the post, while Becchio came close to breaking the deadlock just after the break when his long-range dipping volley skimmed off the bar.Grayson complained afterwards about the playing surface but Scott said: "Their left-back put the ball out of play three times. That wasn't the pitch, it was the left-back not being able to keep it in play."We've had a lot of games on here recently and unfortunately we don't have six groundsmen so it's never going to be like Elland Road. I think any comments about the pitch will be taking away from a fantastic performance by my players."It was a physical game and I think that Simon is clutching at straws if he's trying to blame the pitch and refereeing decisions."
