Myles Weston's timely boost

After six games without a win, Brentford's spirits needed a lift and Myles Weston provided it this week by insisting he'd rather stay at the club than move to Sheffield Wednesday.

The former England youth player said: "I'm happy at Brentford. We're only seven points off the play-offs and if we can get on a run, there's no reason why we can't be up there."

Meanwhile, striker Lewis Grabban is back for his third spell from Millwall on a permanent contract but 33-year-old Carl Cort - once bought by Newcastle for £7million - has lost his fitness battle and left the club.

Manager Andy Scott said: "His determination and
work ethic has been a credit to him as a professional and a model for any young player."
