BEN Hamer still has a future at Brentford, according to boss Andy Scott.

Hamer claimed the number one spot from Richard Lee after coming back from Reading for a fourth loan spell at the club in September.

However, he has had to play second fiddle for six weeks now, as Lee reclaimed his first team spot with a series of stunning displays.

Hamer's loan spell is up at the end of January, but Scott would not be drawn on his future following Brentford's win at Southampton.
He said: “I'm not talking about anything but positive stuff today as we've beaten Southampton 2-0. Ben's here until January 31, and we'll make a decision then.

Defensively, I think the goalkeeper and back four were absolutely fantastic. We spoke about how to deal with Ricky Lambert and their wide players and it worked very well.

We knew Richard would have to make a few saves, and he certainly did that. But we limited them to very few chances, and they didn't really test us in the second-half.

But we defend as a team, and the work the front two and midfield did made it easier for the back four to defend. The clean sheet belongs to the team.”
