Every word Thomas Frank said on Southampton defeat, upcoming games and Fin Stevens

It's the first time Brentford have conceded four goals in a league game. Does it annoy you how soft Southampton's goals were?

Yes, definitely. I can't remember once except from that Leicester goal on a counter from a set-piece, where they score to make 1-2, there hasn't been any chances like this for 19 games, so you know that's why it's not a pattern but it's still hugely disappointing especially the last two goals we conceded.

Liverpool and Man Utd coming up. What will you do with the players to ensure tonight doesn't happen again?

I believe we'll win or learn, today was definitely a lot to learn. We use 24 hours max to be disappointed or happy, this will definitely take 24 hours to be very disappointed, but we need to move forward quick. We can't feel sorry for ourselves, because there's a big task ahead of us on Sunday.

Sergi Canos was holding the back of his thigh having just come back from injury - any update?

To be fair, I haven't spoken to the medical guys about it. We will assess him in the morning.

Was this game too early for Kristoffer Ajer or do you have no regrets?

The way I saw it, he wasn't involved in the four goals. Actually I think he played a decent first game back and gave us that extra edge on the ball as we know he brings. I need to watch it back, he played a fairly good game.

Fin Stevens made his Premier League debut today. How impressed were you with him?

I think he did a decent job. He earned that in the game against Port Vale, where he played a good game especially in the first half. He is a promising young player.
